Floyd Mayweather's only signed MMA fighter Makhmud Muradov is set to take part in his second UFC fight next month.
Muradov (23-6) will step in to replace Alonzo Menifield against Trevor Smith at UFC on ESPN 7 which takes place on December 7.
The 29-year-old is the only MMA fighter signed to Mayweather Promotions and he's been a part of the UFC's stellar roster over the last few months.

Muradov made his UFC debut in Copenhagen on September 28 which saw him win a highly entertaining fight against Italian Alessio Di Chirico.
He took to social media to announce his deal with the UFC back in September.

"Today I signed a contract with the strongest organization in the world @ufc I would like to thank my team of brothers for the work done @ adrian1mma @lusenbakos @first_mma_management Together we make the story of Alhamdulillah. I am the first Uzbek in the UFC. Thank you all very much for your support for your faith in me In Sha Allah together we go for another victory."
