Last-minute change to the UFC Fight Night 51 card, which will be held in Brasília (DF) on September 13th. Serginho Moraes, which would face Santiago Ponzinibbio in a fight valid for the welterweight division (up to 77 kg), he left the event citing knee pain. The information is from the “Combate” channel website.

His replacement will be Wendell Negão, who will therefore have his first fight in the organization. At 31 years of age, the athlete from Rio has a record of 24 wins and seven losses, being undefeated in seven fights. Negão even participated in the selection for TUF Brasil 3, in the middleweight category (up to 84 kg), but lost to Warlley alves, who would later become champion, and was unable to enter the house. In his last defeat, in July 2012, he lost to another former TUF Brasil 3, being submitted by Guilherme Bomba.

The main fight of UFC Fight Night 51 will be between heavyweights Antonio Pezão e Andrei Arlovski, in a rematch of the fight held in 2010. In the second most important fight of the night, veteran Gleison Tibau faces Piotr Hallmann.
