Jorge Masvidal will step in as a replacement for Claudio Silva, taking on Siyar Bahadurzada this July at UFC 201.

Masvidal (29-11) has fought 10 times for the UFC, going 6-4 overall. The former street fighter suffered a split decision loss to Lorenz Larkin recently.

Bahadurzada (22-6-1) is an even 2-2 over his Octagon career. The 32-year-old returned from a 27-month layoff due to injuries to defeat Brandon Thatch in his most recent fight.

UFC 201 takes place July 30 from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, with Robbie Lawler vs. Tyron Woodley for the UFC welterweight title serving as the main event.
