Good news, fight fans. Rising middleweight star Ateba Gautier will remain on the UFC 320 card this weekend after the organization found him a short-notice replacement opponent.

The 23-year-old knockout artist from Cameroon will look to improve to 3-0 in the UFC in the featured preliminary bout against promotional newcomer Treston Vines.

Gautier was originally scheduled to face Ozzy Diaz, who withdrew earlier this week due to injury.

Vines is a 29-year-old American fighting out of Alabama with a 10-3 professional record. Vines has won three in a row by stoppage and four consecutive fights overall in the past 18 months. His three pro losses have all been via first-round KO/TKO, though, which does not bode well entering this specific matchup.

Gautier is 8-1 in MMA with seven straight KO/T
