Sutherland takes UFC Perth fight on week's notice

British UFC fighter Louie Sutherland has agreed to step in as a short-notice replacement to face Australian heavyweight Tai Tuivasa at UFC Perth on 2 May, with less than one week's notice. Sutherland, 32, fought at UFC London just last month, where he suffered the first knockout loss of his career, and is coming off successive defeats. The bout was rescheduled after original opponent Sean Sharaf withdrew earlier this week due to a broken nose, with Tuivasa himself currently on a six-fight losing streak in the UFC.
