Joanne Calderwood has a new opponent for next week's UFC Fight Night 72 event in Glasgow, Scotland, as "Rowdy" Bec Rawlings has suffered an injury.
The UFC announced overnight that Calderwood will now welcome Cortney Casey-Sanchez on eight days notice for the bout in her home country.
Calderwood hopes to bounce back from a surprising loss to Maryna Moroz in April, which came be first round submission for the first official defeat of her career. The Scotland native needs to return to form in order to get back into the title mix in the UFC's women's strawweight division.
The 28-year-old Casey-Sanchez is 4-1 in her MMA career thus far, having stopped her opponents in each of those four wins.
Next week's UFC Fight Night 72 card airs live on UFC Fight Pass, headlined by a middleweight bout between Michael Bisping and Thales Leites.
