Julian Leblanc will meet Nick Galanti at UFC Edmonton on October 17, stepping into a bout that came together after Urbina was ruled out of the fight.
The change puts Leblanc and Galanti on the Edmonton card as a replacement pairing. No further details about the circumstances of Urbina's withdrawal have been given.
Neither fighter's record, ranking or weight class has been attached to the booking, so the specific divisional stakes of the matchup are not yet clear. What is clear is the date and the venue: October 17 in Edmonton, with both men now locked into the same fight.
Why it matters
- Late changes are a routine part of fight cards, and the Edmonton lineup now has a revised bout in place of the one involving Urbina.
- The booking gives both Leblanc and Galanti an opportunity on a UFC event, with the card still more than two weeks away.
- With the matchup set, the focus shifts to preparation for both fighters as the October 17 date approaches.
