UFC confirms Nikolic for Belgrade card

Yahoo Sports reported that UFC Belgrade received a late-notice replacement when Borislav Nikolic stepped in for the injured or withdrawn Josias Musasa against Mark Vologdin. The piece frames Nikolic as a Brave CF bantamweight champion taking a sudden UFC opportunity on short notice. This is notable because it confirms the matchup on a major MMA outlet and explains how the bout changed in the final week. The fight was tied to the UFC Belgrade event scheduled for that weekend.
