Jason (The Athlete) MacDonald has signed a contract to replace David Loiseau and take on John Salter at UFC 113 in Montreal, the fighter told sportsnet.ca.
The middleweight from Red Deer, Alta., verbally agreed on Monday night to the May 8 fight at the Bell Centre after it was learned that Loiseau was unable to obtain a fight licence, though MacDonald was yet to officially sign at the time.
Loiseau, himself a late replacement for an injured Nick Catone, was still hoping to resolve an issue which prevented the Montreal fighter from being licensed by the Quebec Athletic Commission, but it appears the UFC moved on to find an alternative.
