Bojan Mihajlovic has been forced out of a planned heavyweight encounter with Francis Ngannou this April at UFC Fight Night 86, opening the door for Curtis Blaydes to make his debut.

The bout goes down April 10 from inside the Zagreb Arena in Croatia. The main card and part of the prelims are set for FOX Sports 1, including a headline bout between former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and top contender Ben Rothwell.

Blaydes (5-0) has recorded five TKO victories in his pro career, including a third round victory over Luis Cortes at Resurrection Fighting Alliance 35 this past February. He is a native of Oklahom and turned pro in 2014 with a win over veteran Lorenzo Hood.

Ngannou (6-1) picked up a win via knockout over Luis Henrique in December in his debut with the UFC. The French fighter is currently on a five-fight win streak, with all five victories coming via either TKO or submission.

The rest of the card includes Jan Blachowicz vs. Igor Pokrajac, Nicholas Dalby vs. Zak Cummings and Lucas Martins vs. Robert Whiteford.

UFC 198

Featherweights Zubaira Tukhugov and Renato Moicano have agreed to square off this May at UFC 198, officials announced.

An interesting lightweight contest has been added to the upcoming UFC 199 event, as Dustin Poirier takes on Bobby Green.

The event goes down June 4 from The Forum in Los Angeles and features two UFC title fights. It marks the first time the Octagon has appeared in L.A. since 2015.

Poirier (19-4) defeated Joseph Duffy most recently, improving to 7-1 over his last eight. “The Diamond” is on a three-fight win streak that started when he moved up from featherweight.

Green (23-6) was on an eight-fight win streak of his own before dropping a bout to Edson Barboza in 2014. Last year, “The King” was riddled with injuries, scrapping two planned appearances.

The card features Chris Weidman challenging Luke Rockhold for the middleweight title and Dominick Cruz defending his bantamweight belt vs. Urijah Faber.

News of the Poirier-Green contest was first reported by the Los Angeles Daily News.
