The UFC announced Thursday that Luis Hernandez (8-0) will replace Mickey Gall against Sedriques Dumas at UFC Vegas 121 on Saturday; the promotion said Gall withdrew because of medical issues. Hernandez returns 11 days after his Contender Series fight.
Hernandez signed with the UFC earlier this month after submitting Hugo Guillon with a second-round rear-naked choke on Dana White’s Contender Series; the article describes the 11-day turnaround as one of the fastest in DWCS history. Dumas (10-5) is winless in four fights, including three stoppage defeats, and last won in August 2024.
Gall said the issue surfaced during his fight-week medicals and that he was fine. UFC Vegas 121 is set for 12 bouts, with Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Raoni Barcelos in the bantamweight main event and Rodolfo Vieira vs. Robert Bryczek in the co-main event.
