Davis confirmed the news via Twitter following an initial report from FloCombat. Davis will replace Yair Rodriguez, who withdrew from a proposed clash with Magomedsharipov due to an undisclosed injury. UFC 228 takes place at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Sept. 8 and is headlined by a welterweight championship duel between Tyron Woodley and Darren Till.



A competitor on Season 1 of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, Davis has compiled a 1-2 mark within the Las Vegas-based promotion thus far. Most recently, “Killer B” dropped a unanimous decision against Enrique Barzola at UFC Fight Night 129 on May 19.

Magomedsharipov has emerged as a talent to watch in the featherweight division with wins over Kyle Bochniak, Sheymon Moraes and Mike Santiago to kick off his UFC tenure. The 27-year-old Dagestani fighter is 15-1 as a professional overall.
