UFC Vegas 95 has been hit with a handful of fight week changes, with two athletes replaced and two bouts removed from the card.
The promotion head back to the UFC Apex this Saturday, (August 10) with a heavyweight rematch between Marcin Tybura and Serghei Spivac headlining the Fight Night.
However, during fight week, several changes have been made to the card.
Javid Basharat has been forced out of his contest against Chris Gutierrez. The reason for Basharat's withdrawal from the contest has not been disclosed but Gutierrez will still remain on the card. Stepping in on extremely short notice, and making his UFC debut in the process, will be unbeaten Quang Le. Although Le has only competed 8 times a professional, the 32-year-old has built a solid resume under the LFA banner. He was originally scheduled to compete on this season's Contender Series against Aaron Tau but will now step foot inside the octagon on Saturday night.
In the other last minute change to proceedings, Nikolay Veretennikov will replace Uros Medic, who pulled out of the contest due to injury, and face Danny Barlow. Since his loss on the 2021 Contender Series, Veretennikov has competed three times and has picked up three stoppage victories.
Allan Nascimento was set to make the walk for the first time since January 2023, in a Flyweight contest against Jafel Filho. However, the Brazilian has been forced out of his third successive bout, with his most recent withdrawal being due to illness.
Much like Nascimento, Jonny Parsons has struggled to feature regularly inside the octagon since signing with the promotion in 2021, having only competed once inside the octagon. 'The Sluggernaut' will need to wait a little longer for his second appearance, as his Welterweight bout against Yusaku Kinoshita is also off the card.
The fight night now stands at 10 bouts, with all athletes taking to the scales tomorrow.
