UFC 330: Newcomer saves bout on 4 days’ notice for Makhachev vs. Machado Garry fight card
Jose Ochoa is out of Saturday night’s UFC 330 in Philadelphia with an injury, but Charles Johnson will remain on the card as the promotion was quick to find a replacement in Eduardo Chapolin.
The news was confirmed on the official event page Wednesday, following Johnson announcing the change on social media.
UFC 330 proceeds with 12 bouts, including a pair of championship contests in Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry and Mackenzie Dern vs. Gillian Robertson.
Chapolin (15-2) last fought in November 2025, beating An Tuan Ho via decision at Dana White’s Contender Series, but wasn’t offered a contract. The former LFA flyweight champion also competed on season 33 of The Ultimate Fighter in 2025.

The former LFA champion will make his UFC debut on just four days notice after Jose Ochoa withdrew from the bout due to injury.
Jose Ochoa is out of UFC 330, but Charles Johnson will remain on the card. The Peruvian has withdrawn from his scheduled flyweight bout against Johnson due to an injury.

The change was first announced by Johnson on social media and later confirmed on the UFC's official event page.

Despite the victory, however, Chapolin was not offered a UFC contract at the time.
