The UFC Saudi Arabia card has undergone a lot of changes on short notice.

Hyped middleweight Sharabutdin Magomedov will now face Antonio Trocoli as his former opponent Joilton Lutterbach withdrew. UFC CEO Dana White announced the news on Instagram.

On his social media, Lutterbach claimed he had been removed from competition by the Anti-Doping Commission due to a substance found in his urine.

“Sorry guys, the doping committee canceled my fight due to a substance found in my urine,” Lutterbach wrote on Instagram.

Even though he has only had one fight in the UFC so far, undefeated Dagestani striker Magomedov is a fighter who is attracting a lot of attention. He made his promotional debut at UFC 294 last October with a unanimous decision victory against Bruno Silva.
