A featherweight match has been added to the UFC 315 fight card.
UFC announced that Gavin Tucker will return to the octagon to fight JeongYeong Lee at the pay-per-view event on May 10th in Montreal, Canada, at the Bell Centre.
Lee will still compete around his originally planned date, as he was initially scheduled to face Trevor Peek at UFC Des Moines. Peek had to withdraw due to a fractured leg. The 29-year-old Lee will make his fourth appearance in the octagon and aims to rebound from his first defeat in seven years – a knockout loss to Hyder Amil last July at UFC Vegas 94.
Tucker is stepping in on short notice, with less than a month`s preparation, to compete in his home country for his first fight in almost two years. The 38-year-old veteran will make only his third appearance in the last four years and hopes to get back to winning form after suffering back-to-back first-round stoppage losses to Diego Lopes and Dan Ige.
UFC 315 is headlined by a welterweight title fight between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena.
