The UFC's debut event in Scotland later this month has gotten another minor change, as Ian Entwistle has pulled out of a fight with Marcus Brimage due to injury.
With Entwistle out, Brimage will now meet 16-1 newcomer Jimmie Rivera on the card.
Rivera has won 15 straight fights dating back to 2008, winning fights in numerous organizations including Bellator and the WSOF. He'll try to keep that going against Brimage, who has lost three of his last four bouts in the UFC. He most recently got stopped by Cody Garbrandt in January.
The Scotland card serves as UFC Fight Night 72, airing live on UFC Fight Pass on July 18 with a headlining fight between Michael Bisping and Thales Leites.
