A featherweight bout between Giga Chikadze and Jamey Simmons has been promoted to the main card according to ESPN.
This is the second time that a bout between Allen and Heinisch has been canceled. The two were scheduled to fight at a UFC on ESPN show in June, but Heinisch withdrew from that bout due to injury.
