According to MMAjunkie, Russian heavyweight Sergei Pavlovic will not be able to participate in the UFC Fight Night 191 due to visa issues. Instead, the fight with Tom Aspinall will be held by Moldovan-Ukrainian fighter Sergey Spivak.

The 26-year-old Spivak (16-2) is on a three-fight win streak in a row. He had his last fight on June 19, winning by decision over Oleksiy Oleinik.

The 28-year-old Aspinall won his first three fights in the UFC by stoppages. In February, the Briton sealed a victory over former UFC champion Andrei Orlovski with a second-round choke hold.

UFC Fight Night 191 is scheduled for September 4 in Las Vegas.
