John Allan now has two UFC bouts booked on his upcoming schedule.
Already slated to compete at UFC 255, Allan also will step in as a late replacement for Gerald Meerschaert to fight Ed Herman Sept. 12 at UFC on ESPN+ 35.
A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the development to MMA Junkie’s Farah Hannoun but wished to remain anonymous since the UFC has yet to make an announcement. MMA Fighting was first to report the news.
With the change, the UFC on ESPN+ 35 lineup includes:
Thiago Santos vs. Glover Teixeira Andrea Lee vs. Roxanne Modafferi Tyson Nam vs. Matt Schnell Bruno Silva vs. Tagir Ulanbekov Frank Camacho vs. Brok Weaver Kyle Nelson vs. Billy Quarantillo Bryan Barberena vs. Anthony Ivy Matt Frevola vs. Roosevelt Roberts Alan Patrick vs. Kazula Vargas John Allan vs. Ed Herman Justine Kish vs. Sabina Mazo
