After Cezar Ferreira withdrew from his bout against Tom Breese in London due to injury, the Ultimate Fighting Championship again found a solid replacement in Ian Heinisch.
According to the UFC on Thursday, middleweight Heinisch (12-1) is stepping up on short notice to face Breese (11-1) at UFC Fight Night 147 in London on March 16. The promotion's original plan for the matchup was for Breese to face Alessio Di Chirico, but he pulled out of his bout after needing surgery and was temporarily replaced by Ferreira.
