Steve Montgomery has replaced the injured Ricardo Abreu and will face Daniel Kelly at UFC 193 on Nov. 14.
A competitor on Season 21 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Montgomery dropped his promotional debut to Tony Sims at UFC Fight Night “Machida vs. Romero.” The loss snapped a five-fight winning streak for the American Top Team-based fighter, who owns an 8-3 career mark.
Kelly, meanwhile, suffered the first loss of his professional tenure at UFC Fight Night “Miocic vs. Hunt” on May 10, when he suffered a 49-second technical knockout loss to Sam Alvey. The Olympic judoka is 9-1 overall, including Octagon triumphs over Patrick Walsh and Luke Zachrich.
