Tonight’s event was expected to be co-headlined by a lightweight bout between Gregor Gillespie and Brad Riddell. Unfortunately, that fight was called off at the last minute (more on that here).

Replacing the aforementioned Gillespie vs. Riddell bout is a welterweight contest between Song Kenan and Max Griffin.

Kenan (16-5 MMA) is currently riding a two-fight winning streak, this after earning wins over Derrick Krantz and Callan Potter in his most recent Octagon appearances.

As for Max Griffin (16-8 MMA), ‘Pain’ enters tonight’s UFC Vegas 22 event coming off of a TKO victory over Ramiz Brahimaj in his most recent effort this past November. That win was preceded by a split-decision loss to Alex ‘Cowboy’ Oliveira at UFC 248.
