The road to Trevin Jones’ second octagon appearance of 2021 has been a bumpy one, but he’ll still compete this Saturday against a promotional newcomer.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Jones will now meet Said Yokub at this Saturday’s UFC Vegas 34 event at the UFC APEX. MMA Island first reported the switch.
Per sources, Jones was originally set to meet another debutante in Mana Martinez on the card before Martinez was scratched for undisclosed reasons, which was first reported by MMA Junkie.
