Canadian bantamweight Sarah Moras gets new opponent for UFC Ottawa card

TORONTO — Canadian bantamweight Sarah (Cheesecake) Moras has a new opponent for the May 4 televised UFC card in Ottawa.

The 30-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., was originally slated to face Leah Letson (5-1-0). But she has had to withdraw due to medical issues and will be replaced by fellow American Macy Chiasson.

The 27-year-old Chiasson (4-0-0) won her UFC debut last time out, stopping Gina Mazany by TKO at one minute 49 seconds of the first round at UFC 235 on March 2.

Moras (5-4-0) is 2-3-0 in the UFC. But her career has been interrupted by injury — she was sidelined 785 days by injury before she returned to submit Ashlee (Rebel Girl) Evans-Smith at UFC 215 in September 2017.

Since then the graduate of Season 18 of “The Ultimate Fighter” has dropped decisions to Talita Bernardo and Lucie Pudilova.
