Eric Spicely steps in to face Deron Winn at UFC Greensville

Highly touted middleweight prospect Deron Winn will still make his UFC debut this weekend after Eric Spicely agreed to step up and accept the fight on short notice at UFC Fight Night from Greenville, S.C.

Winn has undergone three opponent changes now — first losing Markus Perez and then Bruno Silva this past weekend before the UFC tapped Spicely as a replacement opponent.

Sources close to the situation confirmed the news on Monday following an initial report about the possibility of the fight from ESPN on Sunday.
