There have been a couple of late changes to the UFC Fight Night 81 event in Boston on the 17th, and the night’s lineup has been shifted as a result.
Patrick Williams, reportedly injured, was replaced on the official lineup late last week by undefeated newcomer Joey Gomez in a fight against Rob Font, while Maximo Blanco has finally gotten a new opponent following Dennis Bermudez dropping out last month with a staph infection. That new opponent is another undefeated newcomer to the UFC in RFA Bantamweight Champ Luke Sanders.
