Trevin Giles Steps in for Short-Notice Catchweight Bout at UFC on ESPN 68

Trevin Giles will replace Jeremiah Wells and face Andreas Gustafsson at UFC Fight Night on ESPN 68.

Both Giles and Gustafsson confirmed the booking on social media after the bout was listed on the UFC.com event page. Giles vs. Gustafsson will be contested at an 180-pound catchweight. UFC on ESPN 68 takes place on May 31 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a women’s flyweight scrap pitting Erin Blanchfield against Maycee Barber.

Giles will enter the short-notice bout on a three-fight skid. The 32-year-old Texan last appeared at UFC Edmonton, where he dropped a unanimous decision to Mike Malott on Nov. 2. Giles is 7-7 during his Octagon tenure.

Gustafsson will make his promotional debut after earning a UFC deal with a second-round stoppage of Pat Pytlik on Dana White's Contender Series last August. The 32-year-old Swede owns an 11-2 professional mark with 10 of those victories coming inside the distance.
