A bout between two top ten featherweights has been added to UFC 227: Dillashaw vs. Garbrandt 2. UFC officially announced on Friday that Cub Swanson will face Renato Moicano on the Aug. 4 fight card.
Swanson (25-9) will enter the bout coming off back-to-back losses to top contenders Brian Ortega and Frankie Edgar. The 34-year-old California native will have the Los Angeles crowd behind him when he faces the Brazilian rising star.
