Injuries have caused a lineup shuffle at UFC on ESPN+ 24.

With both Josh Emmett and Nad Narimani forced out of their respective bouts because of undisclosed injuries, Arnold Allen will now meet Nik Lentz at UFC on ESPN+ 24.

Allen originally was scheduled to face Emmett, while Lentz was to square off with Narimani.

England’s Allen (15-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) is unbeaten in his UFC run, having won his first six fights. He is coming off a unanimous decision win over former Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez at UFC 239.

Lentz (30-10-1 MMA, 14-7-1 UFC) suffered a second-round TKO loss to Charles Oliveira in their trilogy bout in May, snapping a two-fight winning streak, which included wins over Gray Maynard and Scott Holtzman.
