James
Krause
will step in for Muslim
Salikhov
and square off against Claudio
Henrique da Silva
at UFC Fight Night 180.


MMAFighting.com
was first to report the change to the
welterweight bout. UFC Fight Night 180 takes place at the Flash
Forum in Abu Dhabi and is headlined by a welterweight showdown
between Brian
Ortega
and Chan Sung
Jung
.

Krause is coming off another short notice appearance, when he
dropped a split verdict against Trevin
Giles
at UFC 247 on Feb. 8. That setback snapped a six-bout
winning streak for the Glory MMA & Fitness representative.

After losing his professional debut, da Silva has won 14
consecutive fights – including five in the Las Vegas-based
promotion. Most recently, the 38-year-old Brazilian choked out
Cole
Williams
in the opening stanza at UFC on ESPN 5 in August
2019.
