UFC 316 has a new fight.
The UFC announced Monday that MarQuel Mederos (10-1) is booked to fight newcomer Mark Choinski (8-0) in a lightweight bout on the preliminary portion of this Saturday’s pay-per-view, which takes place at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Eurosport was first to report the matchup.
Mederos was scheduled to fight Bolaji Oki this past Saturday at UFC Vegas 107, but withdrew due to an illness. Oki instead went on to defeat short-notice replacement Michael Aswell. The nature of Mederos’ illness is not known, but he is fit to return just a week later and looks to improve to 3-0 in the UFC after scoring back-to-back decision wins over Austin Hubbard and Landon Quinones.
Choinski is undefeated in eight…
