The UFC Vegas 36 card almost flopped when Sergei Pavlovich was forced out of his contest with Tom Aspinall.

Fortunately, the UFC has been able to find a short notice replacement, as Sergey Spivak will step in against the surging Brit.

Sergey Spivak (13-2) has been on a tear since a decision defeat to Marcin Tybura, claiming three straight victories. Spivak is 4-2 in the UFC, but has shown consistent growth along with a threatening grappling attack.

The UFC Vegas 36 card will take place on September 4th, set to be headlined by Derek Brunson and Darren Till.
