Medeiros, meets Li Jingliang at UFC on FOX 23

[Edge Guerrero]

UFC newcomer Bobby Nash (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has replaced Yancy Medeiros (13-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) and is slated to meet fellow welterweight Li Jingliang (11-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at UFC on FOX 23.

UFC officials recently announced the change.

UFC on FOX 23 takes place Jan. 28 at Pepsi Center in Denver. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.

Nash, a 26-year-old Michigan-based fighter, has fought for organizations such as RFA, Global Knockout and Hoosier Fight Club since his 2014 pro debut. He’s currently riding a six-fight winning streak and has posted five stoppages, including four knockouts, in his past five bouts. In his most recent appearance, he scored a second-round TKO win over WSOF and UFC vet Lewis Gonzalez in August.

Jingliang, a 28-year-old Chinese fighter, has alternated wins and losses since joining the UFC in 2014. The former Legend FC is currently looking for his third win in four fights after sandwiching a submission loss to Keita Nakamura with knockout wins over current Titan FC champ Dhiego Lima and Anton Zafir.
