\nUFC Fight Night 266<\/a> has seen a change with less than three
\nweeks to go before the event. <\/p>\n

Eric
\nNolan<\/a> was originally scheduled to face Jose
\nHenrique Souza<\/a> at UFC Fight Night 266 on Feb. 7. However, Nolan
\nhas pulled out and will now be replaced by Nikolay
\nVeretennikov<\/a>.  Both fighters confirmed the bout via social
\nmedia following an intial report<\/a> from RealKevinK.<\/p>\n

Veretennikov (13-7) has gone 1-3 in the
\nUFC<\/a> since his debut in 2024. The Kazakh will be making his UFC
\nmiddleweight debut on short notice against Souza.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Souza (8-1) suffered his lone professional loss in a
\nfailed bid for a UFC contract on
\nDana White’s Contender Series<\/a> in 2022. \u201cCanela\u201d has since
\nracked up a three-fight winning streak on the regional circuit to
\nearn his UFC contract.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
