Michael McDonald lost his opponent for next week's UFC 139 event when Johnny Eduardo suffered an injury this week. Now, the exciting young bantamweight will welcome newcomer Alex Soto to the UFC on the card.
McDonald revealed the new opponent on Twitter in an exchange with Urijah Faber, saying he's excited to fight a "scrapper" as he's "tired of decisions."
The 20-year-old McDonald has already racked up a 13-1 career record, and has avenged the only loss on his record in the midst of a six fight winning streak.
Soto enters the UFC with a 6-0-1 record, having notched the draw in his last fight at DEEP 54 against Seiji Akao. Of his six wins, only one fight has gone to the judges.
