Luke Sanders vs. Felipe Colares now set for UFC Vegas 25 after original opponents pulled

Damon Jackson and Journey Newson are out of UFC Vegas 25, which goes down May 1 in Las Vegas, and the promotion has decided to pair up their original opponents Luke Sanders and Felipe Colares in a featherweight bout.

Both fighters confirmed the switch on social media following a report from Tudo Sobre MMA.

Newson was forced off the card due to a knee injury, he told MMA Fighting. Colares, who was originally scheduled to face Newson in a bantamweight match, plans on returning to the 135-pound division for his next bouts, he said.
