Ollie Schmid accepts UFC Perth debut on three days' notice

Ollie Schmid stepped in on three days' notice to make his UFC debut at UFC Perth. The 25-year-old Hungarian fighter, born in New York but training in New Zealand, entered the bout with a 4-2 MMA record. Schmid was not the UFC's first choice replacement, but other candidates faced visa issues. The post notes that such last-minute debutants often produce exciting performances because they have nothing to lose.
