With his original opponent, Johnny Eduardo, pulling out due to injury, UFC bantamweight prospect Michael McDonald now has a new opponent for UFC 139 on just two weeks' notice: undefeated San Diego-area fighter, Alex Soto. McDonald tweeted the news in a conversation with Urijah Faber:

@UrijahFaber I got a newcomer to the UFC, Alex Soto on the same card. The dude is a scrapper. I'm so tired of decisions. Not this time lol

Soto will have his hands full with "Mayday", especially taking the
fight on short notice, but the US Army veteran was already preparing for
a fight with Japanese veteran, Masanori Kanehara,
so he should be in shape. Soto, who was born in Mexico and has competed
mainly on the local Tijuana circuit, trains at Team Hurricane Awesome
in San Diego, alongside fellow UFC bantamweight, Walel Watson. and Strikeforce fighter, Liz Carmouche.

team hurricane awesome? AWESOME name!

McDonald is going to destroy him.

I was just curious, thought you might have had some insight on the newbie. I'm sure he will be a heavy dog.
