After getting pulled from his most recent outing due to weight cut complications, Ilia Topuria will be moving up a weight class. Mike Davis has withdrawn from UFC London and Topuria (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) will step in to face Jai Herbert (11-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in a lightweight bout on March 19 at O2 Arena. Two people with knowledge of the matchup confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after an initial report from MMA reporter Gonzalo Campos. The people requested anonymity since UFC officials have yet to make an announcement. Topuria, who has competed at both bantamweight and featherweight throughout his career, will be making his 155-pound debut
