The featured matchup for Week 2 of Dana White’s Contender Series has been altered just a few days prior to the card.

Darian Weeks has pulled out of his scheduled clash with Josh Quinlan after someone in his camp tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, Logan Urban will now face Quinlan in a welterweight matchup on Tuesday. MMA DNA was first to report the new booking. The Contender Series takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and airs on ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Urban has been victorious in five of his first six professional fights. In his most recent outing, the 27-year-old known as “Hulk” scored a second-round KO of Antoine Blassingame at Ohio Combat League 14 on July 24.

A three-time Legacy Fighting Alliance competitor, Quinlan will take a 5-0 mark into his matchup with Urban. “The Renegade” has finished all of his triumphs inside the distance, including a third-round submission of Dallas Jennings in his most recent outing at LFA 103.
