Following Tanner Boser’s loss to Rodrigo Nascimento, it’s being reported the Canadian fighter is moving down from heavyweight to light-heavyweight. In addition, it’s being reported that Boser is set to battle Ion Cutelaba next.

Boser (20-9-1) joined the UFC in 2019 and has gone 4-4 during that time. Most recently, in September, he dropped a split decision to the aforementioned Nascimento.

MMA Fighting is reporting that multiple sources have confirmed that Boser is dropping down to light-heavyweight and will fight Cutelaba (16-9-1) on April 15th.

The latter is coming off a stoppage loss to Kennedy Nzechukwu in November and has dropped three straight.

The April 15th card will take place in Kansas City, and will be headlined by a bout between former featherweight champ, Max Holloway, and surging contender Arnold Allen.
