ADXC 6 has a new main event for next week’s grappling show in Abu Dhabi.

The previously announced match between UFC bantamweight contender Umar Nurmagomedov and former Bellator champion Eduardo Dantas is off, and rising UFC star Raul Rosas Jr. has agreed to grapple ex-UFC fighter Muhammad Mokaev on seven days’ notice on Oct. 25.

The event will take place at the Mubadala Arena a day before the octagon returns to Abu Dhabi for UFC 308.

Rosas Jr. won three straight inside the octagon, including a rear-naked choke finish against Ricky Turcios. In his most recent appearance, the 20-year-old prospect defeated Aoriqileng via decision at UFC 306. His MMA record now stands at 10-1 with six submissions to his credit.

Mokaev went 12-0 as a professional MMA fighter — and 23-0 in amateur bouts — before parting ways with the UFC earlier this year despite a perfect 7-0 run under the company’s banner.

UFC CEO Dana White justified his decision citing “so much bad shit that happened behind the scenes” following his win over Manel Kape. Mokaev was re-signed by Brave CF shortly after, but has yet to book his first MMA fight back.
