The UFC 214 card, scheduled for July 29th, in the city of Anaheim, California, United States, has had a change. The South Korean Chan sung jung was injured and left the fight against Ricardo Lamas. In his place, young featherweight Jason Knight was confirmed. The information was confirmed by the Ultimate website itself.

Lamas, 35, last fought in November last year, when he submitted Charles of the Bronx on TUF América Latina 3. In Ultimate since 2011, he has had 11 fights in the organization, with eight wins and three losses. He even competed for the featherweight belt against José Aldo at UFC 169, but was defeated by unanimous decision in 2014.
Knight, just 24 years old, is going through a great phase in his career. After debuting in the UFC, being defeated by Tatsuya Kawajiri in December 2015, the young man began a streak of four victories, the most recent last May, when he knocked out Chas Skelly at UFC 211.
UFC 214 will feature a rematch between Daniel Cormier e Jon Jones, valid for the light heavyweight belt. Renan Barao is another important name scheduled for the card: back at bantamweight, he faces aljamain sterling. The Brazilian Chris Cyborg She should also be confirmed on the show, but she still doesn't have a defined opponent.
