With just a few days to go before the UFC Fight Night 154 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on ESPN+, the promotion is making some last-minute changes to the ESPN2 “Prelims” card set for this Sat. night (June 22, 2019) in Greenville, South Carolina.

Middleweight newcomer, Bruno Silva, has withdrawn from the event for undisclosed reasons and will be replaced by UFC veteran Eric Spicely, the former “Ultimate Fighter” semifinalist who left the promotion back in late 2018.

“Zebrinha” re-signed over the weekend to battle Deron Winn, according to MMA Junkie.

Spicely (12-4) made the most of his time away from the Octagon, racking up a pair of wins under the CES banner, both of which ended by way of knockout. As for Winn (5-0), he’ll be looking to notch his first UFC win after successful appearances for both Bellator MMA and Golden Boy MMA.
