Cannonier draws newcomer Roehrick at TUF 25 finale after Bosse bows out
"The Ultimate Fighter 25" finale has undergone a last-minute shakeup.
Jared Cannonier will now take on newcomer Nick Roehrick instead of Steve Bosse - who pulled out for undisclosed reasons - in a light heavyweight bout Friday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, MMA Fighting's Danny Segura confirmed following a Tuesday report from Shawn Bitter of MMA Wizard.
"The Killa Gorilla" will look to rebound from his February decision loss to Glover Teixeira when he faces the late fill-in. He holds an even UFC record of 2-2.
Roehrick steps in for Bosse on just three days' notice for his first walk to the Octagon. The 29-year-old Florida native boasts a 7-0 record, with three wins coming by way of stoppage.
The card will be headlined by a lightweight tilt between Michael Johnson and undefeated former WSOF champion Justin Gaethje.
