Steve Garcia (16-5) will look to further raise his stock with a quick turnaround.
Garcia steps up to fight Kyle Nelson (16-5) at UFC Fight Night 242 at the promotion’s Apex in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, replacing Calvin Kattar (23-8), who pulled out due to undisclosed reasons. The change was first reported by MMA media member Robert Tellez and subsequently confirmed by multiple outlets.
This will mark a decently quick turnaround for Garcia, who comes off a first-round knockout win over Seung Woo Choi last month.
