Justin Willis has replaced the injured Luis Henrique Barbosa de Oliveira and will face Marcin Tybura on short notice at UFC 208.
UFC officials confirmed the new heavyweight pairing on Tuesday. UFC 208 takes place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and features a showdown between Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural women’s featherweight title. Tybura vs. Willis is set for the UFC Fight Pass-streamed portion of the preliminary card and finalizes the 12-bout lineup.
Willis has won four straight fights since losing his professional debut in June 2012.
