British welterweight Craig White has stepped up on just 12 days notice to face Neil Magny at UFC Liverpool in the Echo Arena on 27th May 2018.
Magny was supposed to be facing Gunnar Nelson but he was forced to withdraw from the fight last month due to a knee injury.
White, who has a record of 14-7-0 and is on a four-fight win streak last fought at Cage Warriors 92: Super Saturday where he defeated Alex Montagnani via rear-naked choke in the second round and his next fight on Cage Warriors was set to be for the vacant welterweight title.
White will now co-headline in his promotional debut for UFC against American Neil Magny (20-6-0).
UFC Liverpool will be headlined by Liverpool’s Darren Till and number 1 contender, Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson.
On just 12 days notice!

Kevin Patterson canny good card all round I think aswell. Can’t wait ?

Kevin Patterson who you think wins main event? I keep changing me mind me
Thompson. If you look at Tills record it isn’t amazing. He has come on the big stage by beating cerrone who is a lightweight at the end of his career.
Kevin Patterson I think if he can pressure him he’s in with a shout but he can’t give him time and space or he’s fucked q
At least we are going to see a proper fight. Instead of humping legs against the fence
