Palace Fighting Championships (PFC) Lightweight Champion Brian Cobb (15-4) will take on Terry Etim (11-2) in a 155-pound match up at UFC 95: "Sanchez vs. Stevenson" at The O2 Arena in London, England, on Feb. 21, according to a Sherdog.com report.
Justin Buchholz was forced out of the contest on short notice for an undisclosed reason.
Cobb is on a nine-fight winning tear since mid 2007, defeating seven of those opponents via submission. The former wrestler from California State University (CSU) - Bakersfield upset UFC veteran Diego Saraiva via unanimous decision to become champion at PFC 8: "A Night of Champions" in May 2008.
"The Bandit" -- who trains alongside former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber -- was supposed to make his third title defense against former WEC number one welterweight contender Carlo Prater at PFC 13 on May 8 before getting called up to the big leagues.
Cobb will certainly be a tough test for the local favorite ... especially on such short notice.
Etim scored a much-needed unanimous decision win over Sam Stout in his last appearance at UFC 89: "Bisping vs. Leben" back in October 2008. Prior to the victory, the British up-and-comer suffered back-to-back losses at the hands of super tough veterans Rich Clementi and Gleison Tibau.
He submitted Matt Grice with a guillotine choke in his Octagon debut at UFC 70: "Nations Collide" in April 2007.
UFC 95 features the lightweight debut of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) inaugural season winner Diego Sanchez against the man who took the crown the series after, Joe Stevenson. Two important middleweight weight match ups are also scheduled — Nate Marquardt will tangle with Wilson Gouveia and Demian Maia will collide with Chael Sonnen.
