Joshua Van will replace Kevin Borjas and fight Edgar Chairez at UFC 306.
MMAjunkie.com was first to report the new flyweight booking. UFC 306 takes place at The Sphere in Las Vegas on Sept. 14 and is headlined by a bantamweight title clash between Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili. A reason for Borjas’ withdrawal is currently unknown.
Van had an eight-bout winning streak snapped in his last Octagon appearance, as he suffered a third-round knockout loss against Charles Johnson at UFC on ESPN 59 on July 13.
