Russell Doane vs. Mirsad Bektic set for UFC 204

As it turns out, Mirsad Bektic will be able to fight at UFC 204.

The UFC announced Tuesday featherweight Bektic will face Russell Doane. Doane takes the fight on five days' notice and is the third-announced opponent for Bektic.

Bektic was originally set to face Arnold Allen, but the British fighter had to withdraw due to injury. A replacement in Jeremy Kennedy was eventually announced as Allen's replacement, but he, too, was injured and forced to withdraw from the bout.

Bektic, 25, is 3-0 in the UFC and undefeated in his career, generally, with a record of 10-0.
