A change has been made to the upcoming UFC on Fuel card headed to London with young upstart Gunnar Nelson getting a new opponent.

Nelson was originally slated to face Ohio fighter Justin Edwards, but an injury has forced him to drop off the card.

Now the Icelandic fighter will instead face former middleweight contender turned welterweight Jorge Santiago, as he returns to the UFC after exiting the promotion for two fights.

Santiago comes back to the Octagon after originally signing with Strikeforce in 2012 after deciding to drop to 170lbs, but he never actually got to fight there before the promotion closed up shop earlier this month.

Currently riding a two fight win streak, Santiago hopes to steal some of the thunder currently surrounding Nelson as one of the most hyped young fighters to sign with the promotion in a while.

Nelson vs. Santiago will face off as part of the UFC on Fuel 7 card headed to London, England on Feb 16 at Wembley Arena

Good, bout time someone listen to me.

Will be interesting to see what Jorge can do at 170 pounds.

Lose to Gunnar Nelson probably

Wouldn't be surprised, Nelson looks like a beast.
