KSW's David Zawada is late replacement for next week's UFC Fight Night 134 main card

KSW vet David Zawada is a late addition to next week’s UFC Fight Night 134 event.

UFC officials on Saturday announced Zawada (16-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has replaced injured Alan Jouban (16-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and now meets Danny Roberts (15-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC).

Zawada, a 27-year-old German fighter who will make his promotional debut while in his home country, is understandably excited (via Facebook):

UFC Fight Night 134 takes place next Sunday, July 22, at Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Zawada vs. Roberts is part of the FS1-televised main card.

Zawada, an eight-year pro, has spent the bulk of his recent career with the Poland-based KSW promotion. He’s currently riding a five-fight winning streak with seven wins his past eight bouts. He has 14 stoppages (11 knockouts) in 16 career wins. In his most recent bout, he tapped out Michal Michalski in April.

Roberts, meanwhile, returned to the win column with a knockout win over Oliver Enkamp in March. The 30-year-old Brit, perhaps best known by his “Hot Chocolate” nickname, has hopscotched between wins and losses in his past five bouts.
