Justin Willis steps in on 5 days' notice to fight Tybura at UFC 208

Marcin Tybura has an opponent for Saturday after all.

The Polish heavyweight was in danger of being removed from UFC 208 after his originally scheduled opponent, Luis Henrique, suffered an injury, but on Tuesday the promotion announced that newcomer Justin Willis will replace Henrique just four days away from the event.

Willis is a 29-year-old California native who trains out of the American Kickboxing Academy camp. He's won four straight fights with three knockouts since losing his debut in June 2012.

Tybura was last seen bludgeoning Viktor Pesta with a head kick at UFC Fight Night 92. He holds a 1-1 record inside the Octagon and a 14-2 record overall.

UFC 208 takes place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. It will be headlined by the inaugural women's featherweight championship bout between Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie.
