The seventh event of Rizin Fighting Federation’s Landmark series has some last-minute lineup modifications.

Former Eagles Fighting Championship flyweight ace Mehman Mamedov (6-6) was scheduled to take on Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Justin Scoggins at Rizin Landmark 7, which goes down at National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Nov. 4. However, promotional debutant Ferit Goktepe (1-1) has now stepped up on short notice to replace Scoggins after the American pulled out due to a “medical condition that needed immediate treatment.” The change was announced via press release.
