Sports news » UFC 315: Veteran Gavin Tucker Steps In for Featherweight Match

A featherweight bout has been added to the UFC 315 card.

UFC officials announced that Gavin Tucker will return to face JeongYeong Lee at the May 10 pay-per-view event in Montreal, Canada.

JeongYeong Lee remains on the card after his original opponent, Trevor Peek, withdrew due to a leg fracture. Lee, 29, will make his fourth UFC appearance, aiming to recover from a recent knockout loss to Hyder Amil at UFC Vegas 94, which broke a seven-year winning streak.

Gavin Tucker, 38, accepted the fight on short notice and will compete in his home country for the first time in nearly two years. This will be only his third fight in the last four years, and he is looking to rebound from first-round stoppage losses to Diego Lopes and Dan Ige.

The main event of UFC 315 is a welterweight title fight between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena.
