“The Ultimate Fighter 15” cast member Daron Cruickshank (12-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) has stepped in to replace and injured Spencer Fisher (24-9 MMA, 9-8 UFC) and now meets Yves Edwards (42-19-1 MMA, 10-7 UFC) at this month’s UFC on FOX 8 event.

UFC officials today announced the new booking, the fourth injury-related switch of the day on the FOX-broadcast event.

Featuring UFC flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson defending his belt against John Moraga, UFC on FOX 8 takes place July 27 at Seattle’s KeyArena. The evening’s main card airs on FOX following prelims that air on FX and stream on Facebook.

Cruickshank vs. Edwards is expected to air on the evening’s FX-broadcast portion.

A 16-year veteran of the sport, Edwards made his UFC debut in 2001 and has since fought 17 times for the promotion. In between his multiple stints in the octagon, the “Thugjitsu Master” has also fought under the PRIDE, Strikeforce, EliteXC and Bellator MMA banner, among others.

Edwards has fought exclusively in the UFC since September 2010, posting a 4-3 mark in the promotion since that time. Most recently, he appeared at February’s UFC 156 event, where he lost a split decision to Isaac Vallie-Flagg.

Cruickshank looks to bounce back from a March loss to John Makdessi that snapped a six-fight win streak for “The Detroit Superstar.” Prior to the result, the 28-year-old had earned UFC wins over Henry Martinez and Chris Tickle.
