Two-division Titan FC champion Jose Torres will replace the injured Hector Sandoval and face Jarred Brooks at UFC Fight Night 131 in Utica, N.Y.
Multiple outlets confirmed the new flyweight booking on Tuesday. UFC Fight Night 131 takes place at Adirondack Bank Center on June 1 and is headlined by a bantamweight showdown between Jimmie Rivera and Marlon Moraes.
The 25-year-old Torres enters his first promotional foray with a 7-0 record. “Shorty” was a champion at 135 and 125 pounds in Titan FC and is coming off a first-round knockout of Alberto Orellano in a flyweight title defense on Feb.
