Justin Willis Replaces Henrique, Faces Marcin Tybura at UFC 208 in Brooklyn

Justin Willis has replaced the injured Luis Henrique Barbosa de Oliveira and will face Marcin Tybura on short notice at UFC 208.

UFC officials confirmed the new heavyweight pairing on Tuesday. UFC 208 takes place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and features a showdown between Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural women’s featherweight title. Tybura vs. Willis is set for the UFC Fight Pass-streamed portion of the preliminary card and finalizes the 12-bout lineup.

Willis has won four straight fights since losing his professional debut in June 2012. Most recently, the San Jose, Calif., native earned a second-round TKO triumph over Juliano Coutinho at World Series of Fighting 31 this past June.

Tybura dropped his Octagon debut against Timothy Johnson, but rebounded in his sophomore appearance when he knocked out Viktor Pesta with a head kick in the second frame at UFC Fight Night 92. The 31-year-old Pole owns a 14-2 career mark.
