Tai Tuivasa will remain on the UFC on ESPN 21 card against a new adversary, as Harry Hunsucker will step in for Don'Tale Mayes on Saturday.

MMAjunkie.com first reported the new pairing, and it was later confirmed on broadcast partner ESPN’s event listing. UFC on ESPN 21 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight tilt between Kevin Holland and Derek Brunson. The main card, including Tuivasa vs. Hunsucker, airs on ESPN and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

Hunsucker came up short in his bid to earn a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series this past November, when he suffered a first-round TKO defeat to Jared Vanderaa. The Elite Martial Arts & Fitness member owns a 6-3 professional mark, with all of his victories coming inside the distance.

Tuivasa halted a three-bout Octagon skid with a first-round KO of Stefan Struve in his most recent outing at UFC 254 this past October.
