Max Rohskopf will replace Joe Solecki and face Austin Hubbard in a lightweight clash at UFC on ESPN 11.
The Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed the new pairing on Monday. Solecki announced his withdrawal from the contest over the weekend, citing “reasons beyon my control.” UFC on ESPN 11 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday and is headlined by a heavyweight clash between Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov. The card airs on ESPN and ESPN+.
The 25-year-old Rohskopf is 5-0 thus far in his MMA career, with all of his victories coming via submission inside of two rounds. Most recently, the Zenith MMA product tapped out Paulo Silva in 53 seconds at Titan FC 59 on Feb. 28.
A former Legacy Fighting Alliance champion, Hubbard has lost two of his first three promotional appearances, including a decision defeat against Mark O. Madsen in his most recent outing at UFC 248.
