Less than a month after a split decision loss to Rafael Natal at UFC 187, the TUF 17 runner-up has agreed to replace injured Derek Brunson and fight Krzysztof Jotko at UFC Fight Night 69, which takes place on June 20 in Germany.
The UFC officially announced the change on Tuesday, revealing that Brunson was pulled from the bout with a rib injury.
Recovered from a broken hand that forced him out of a fight in April, Jotko (15-1) returns to the Octagon eight months after a unanimous decision victory over Tor Troeng in Stockholm.
