Dequan Townsend to make 21-day turnaround vs. Devin Clark at UFC on ESPN+ 25

There’s no stopping Dequan Townsend.

Townsend will look for his first UFC victory next week when he replaces Gadzhimurad Antigulov to fight Devin Clark at UFC on ESPN+ 25. MMA Junkie confirmed the news after a report from MMA writer Mike Pendleton. Radio host Mike Frankl first floated it on Twitter as a rumor.

Townsend (21-10 MMA, 0-2 UFC), who will compete for the second time in 21 days, lost to Bevon Lewis at UFC on ESPN+ 24 last month in Raleigh, N.C. He will make a quick turnaround in looking to notch his first promotional win.

Training out of New Mexico’s Jackson Wink MMA, Clark (10-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) is coming off a second-round submission loss to Ryan Spann at UFC on ESPN+ 19 in October. Prior to that, he picked up a unanimous decision win over Darko Stosic in June.

With the change, the UFC on ESPN+ 25 lineup includes:

Corey Anderson vs. Jan Blachowicz
Michel Pereira vs. Diego Sanchez
John Dodson vs. Nathaniel Wood
Yancy Medeiros vs. Lando Vannata
Mark De La Rosa vs. Raulian Paiva
Rogerio Bontorin vs. Ray Borg
Montana De La Rosa vs. Mara Romero Borella
Macy Chiasson vs. Nicco Montano
