Jeremiah
Wells will replace Ramazan
Emeev and lock horns with Warlley
Alves at
UFC Fight Night 190 on Saturday.
The bout was updated on broadcast partner ESPN’s
event page. UFC Fight Night 190 takes place at the UFC Apex in
Las Vegas and is headlined by a heavyweight clash between Alexander
Volkov and Ciryl
Gane.
A former CES MMA and Cage Fury Fighting Championships welterweight
title holder, Wells makes his Octagon debut with an 8-2-1 career
mark. He won his last two bouts under the CFFC banner, including a
second-round submission of Marco

belt.
Alves has been victorious in two of his last three Octagon
appearances. Most recently, the 30-year-old Brazilian defeated
Mounir
Lazzez via first-round TKO at UFC on ESPN 20 on Jan. 20.
