Gordon (20-7) was supposed to compete at UFC Vegas 102 in February, but two opponents pulled out against him the week of the event, with one of them (Mashrabjon Ruziboev) withdrawing during early morning weigh-ins due to weight issues (he got released after).
“Flash” has been out of action since his controversial split decision loss to Nasrat Haqparast at UFC Saudi Arabia last June, but before that, he scored his first UFC knockout since his UFC debut at UFC 309 against Mark Madsen (watch highlights).
Gordon is 8-6-1 in the promotion.

Moises (19-8) is coming off a hard-fought unanimous decision against Trey Ogden at UFC Vegas 101, which got him back into the win column.
The 30-year-old Brazilian is 3-2 in his last five fights, with two of those wins coming by way of finish.
Moises is 8-6 in the promotion, meaning someone’s eight must go.
