With Joe Solecki out, top prospect Max Rohskopf is getting his chance to step into the octagon.
Solecki announced via Instagram that he is out of his lightweight bout with Austin Hubbard that was scheduled to take place at UFC on ESPN 11 this Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. MMA Fighting confirmed with sources that Rohskopf (5-0) has been selected as Solecki’s short-notice replacement to face Hubbard, following an initial report by MMA Junkie.

I am beyond disappointed to announce that, due to reasons beyond my control, I have been forced to withdraw from next week’s fight.
