Two new fights have been added to April's UFC on Fuel TV 2 card in Stockholm, Sweden, completing the event's 12-fight card.
TUF 14's Akira Corassani has suffered another injury, delaying his UFC debut further. That left his opponent Jason Young without one of his own, and he'll now take on Eric Wisely on short notice. Young has lost both of his appearances in the UFC, most recently losing by decision to Michihiro Omigawa at UFC 138. Wisely, meanwhile, enters this fight after a loss by calf slicer to Charles Oliveira in his UFC debut in January.
In the final fight added to the card, two debuting UFC fighters will square off, as Sweden's Reza Madadi will take on Yoislandy Izquierdo. Izquierdo was supposed to make his UFC debut earlier this month, but a contract dispute with a regional promotion delayed his move. Madadi was supposed to debut last month, but was forced out of a fight with Fabricio Camoes due to injury.
UFC on Fuel TV 2 takes place on April 14 from the Ericsson Globe Arena, headlined by the light heavyweight bout between Alexander Gustafsson and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
