The UFC’s debut show in Liverpool has a new co-main event.
Following an injury to popular welterweight contender Gunnar Nelson, Neil Magny’s status on the card was in jeopardy. Fortunately for him, he does have a new opponent in the form of Cage Warriors veteran Craig White. UFC officials announced the matchup on Tuesday, with the event less than two weeks away.
White (14-7) is on a four-fight winning streak, all under the Cage Warriors banner. “The Thundercat” most recently submitted Alex Motagnani by guillotine choke back in March. All 14 of White’s career wins have come by knockout or submission, although 6 of his 7 losses have also been by stoppage.
