After learning he’ll no longer be fighting James Vick on July 14th, it didn’t take Paul Felder long to secure a new bout, as the UFC’s confirmed he’ll face Mike Perry, July 7th.

Vick is now scheduled to fight Justin Gaethje on August 25th, as a result of Al Iquainta withdrawing from the fight. 

Perry was initially booked to fight Yancy Medeiros at UFC 226, but the latter’s been forced out due to injury.

Felder (15-3) is looking to build on a three fight winning streak, while Perry (11-3) is coming off back-to-back defeats.

UFC 226 will be hosted by the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
