Welcome to the UFC, Mehdi Baghdad, Augusto Tanquinho, & Elvis Mutapcic

The UFC Boston main card is still, more or less intact at the top, but the prelims have gone through hell. Late notice injuries to six fighters on the undercard have meant that the promotion has been forced to make a number of last minute changes. I've already talked about the signings of Luke Sanders and Joey Gomez, but now there's three new fighters to talk about. Following visa issues for Russia's Mairbek Taisumov, Chris Wade announced via Instagram that he would now be facing lightweight newcomer Mehdi Baghdad.

Following Baghdad into the UFC are Augusto "Tanquinho" Mendes and Elvis Mutapcic.
