UFC 315 has received a replacement fight on less than two week's notice.
It was reported on Tuesday that Gavin Tucker was out of his prelim fight with Jeong Yeong Lee, and now the UFC has reportedly found a replacement for Tucker.
Per a report from Alex Behunin on X, 11-2 prospect Daniel Santos will step in on short notice to fight Lee. 'Willycat' is 2-1 in the UFC and hasn't fought since June 2023 due to a plethora of fight cancellations.
