As often happens in the months and weeks leading up to a mixed martial arts or boxing card, opponents and fights change.

For Glendale MMA fighter Sevak Magakian, that’s just what he’s dealing with, as, according to www.calledoutmma.com, Saad Awad, Magakian’s original opponent for Called Out MMA II on Nov. 14 in Ontario has been forced to withdraw from the 155-pound bout.

Taking Awad’s place will be the undefeated Jeremy Umphries (4-0). Magakian is 7-2 and last fought under the same promotional umbrella on the May 16 card Called to Arms, where he submitted Harold Lucambio.
