India, Aug. 5 -- Former UFC featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega is set to begin a new chapter in his career when he faces Renato Moicano in a lightweight rematch at UFC 331. The bout, officially announced by the promotion, marks Ortega's long-awaited move to the 155-pound division after years of competing at featherweight. The two fighters previously met in 2017, when Ortega secured a submission victory in a thrilling contest that earned Fight of the Night honours. Their rematch was initially scheduled for UFC 326 earlier this year, but Ortega was forced to withdraw because of injury. Now healthy, "T-City" gets another opportunity to revive his career.
