Wilson Reis Remains on UFC 201 Card, Faces Ex-CFFC Titlist Sean Santella

Wilson Reis won’t receive a flyweight title shot at UFC 201, but he will remain on the July 30 card.

The 31-year-old Brazilian will face Cage Fury Fighting Championships veteran Sean Santella in a featured contest at the Philips Arena in Atlanta. The new matchup was announced during the UFC Fight Night Sioux Falls broadcast on Wednesday evening. Santella replaces 125-pound king Demetrious Johnson, who withdrew from the contest due to injury.

A former CFFC titlist, Santella enters the bout on a two-fight winning streak. In his last outing, he outpointed Andrew Cash at CFFC 56 on Feb.
