In a significant change to the UFC 315 card, Joel Alvarez has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled lightweight bout against Benoit Saint-Denis due to a hand injury. The UFC has acted quickly, bringing in Canadian fighter Kyle Prepolec as a replacement for the May 10 event in Montreal.
Prepolec will be making his UFC return after a previous 0-2 stint with the promotion in 2019. The fighter known as "Killshot" enters this short-notice opportunity riding a three-fight win streak, with his recent victories coming by a mix of knockouts and decisions on the regional circuit.
The cancellation was first reported by Twitter/X user @MagicM_MMABets on May 3 and later confirmed by French media outlet La Sueur. MMA journalist Marcel Dorff subsequently verified the news as well.
