Thiago Moises to Face Joel Alvarez at UFC Fight Night 197 on Nov. 13

An interesting matchup of lightweight talents is on tap for UFC Fight Night 197, as Thiago Moises will lock horns with Joel Alvarez on Nov. 13.

Alvarez initially revealed the booking on social media, and it was later confirmed by MMAFighting.com. UFC Fight Night 197 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a featherweight bout between Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez.

Moises had a three-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing, when he was submitted by Islam Makhachev in the fourth round of the UFC on ESPN 26 headliner on July 17. Prior to that, Moises had bested Michael Johnson, Bobby Green and Alexander Hernandez in succession.

Alvarez has won three consecutive bouts since dropping his Octagon debut to Damir Ismagulov at UFC Fight Night 145. Most recently, the 28-year-old Spaniard known as “El Fenomeno” submitted Alexander Yakovlev in the opening round at UFC 254.
