Las Vegas, NV – UFC heavyweight Chase Sherman lost out on a fight at UFC Vegas 64 when Josh Parisian suffered a medical emergency, but he now gets a different match-up when he takes on Waldo Cortes-Acosta at UFC Vegas 65 on November 19th.
The new booking was first reported by ESPN Deportes.
Sherman (16-10) had been ready to go against Parisian on Nov. 5th, but once his opponent fell out it seemed as though he’d be out for quite a while.
