Former UFC lightweight title challenger Renato Moicano will face rising contender Tom Nolan in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Saturday, October 31.
Moicano, who earned a last-minute title shot against Islam Makhachev at UFC 311 after Arman Tsarukyan's injury, lost that bout and a subsequent fight to Beneil Dariush but has since won two straight fights. Nolan steps in after Moicano's planned bout with Brian Ortega fell through twice.

Other main card bouts include flyweights Cody Durden vs. Ode Osbourne, women's bantamweights Luana Santos vs. Yana Santos, and welterweights Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani vs. Farman Hasanov.
