Brad Pickett has a new opponent for his retirement bout at UFC Fight Night 107.
The Englishman will be fighting short-notice replacement Marlon Vera in a bantamweight bout for next week’s UFC event in London, the UFC announced on Saturday.
Pickett was originally scheduled to fight Henry Briones, but the Mexican fighter was forced to withdraw from the bout due to an eye injury sustained during sparring on Tuesday, which he revealed through his Facebook.
