Steven Ray will step in for the injured James Krause and face Ross Pearson at UFC Fight Night 99 in Belfast.
Promotion officials announced the change on Thursday. UFC Fight Night takes place on Nov. 19 and is headlined by rematch between Uriah Hall and Gegard Mousasi. The card streams in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass.
Ray won his first three Octagon appearances before falling to Alan Patrick Silva Alves via unanimous decision in his most recent outing at UFC Fight Night 95 on Sept.
