Jamie Pickett replaces Julian Marquez, takes on Kyle Daukaus at UFC Fight Night 201

Kyle Daukaus didn’t stay without a fight for very long.

The UFC middleweight recently lost his opponent, Julian Marquez, for UFC Fight Night 201 on Feb. 19 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. And shortly after it was reported, the promotion was able to find a replacement for Daukaus (10-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in Jamie Pickett, according to two people with knowledge of the booking. The people requested anonymity since the promotion hasn’t made an announcement.

Daukaus, a former CFFC middleweight champion, is coming off a no contest against Kevin Holland this past October. Originally a submission win for Daukaus, the decision was overturned after replays revealed an accidental clash of heads knocked Holland unconscious and led to the fight-ending sequence.
