Just happened, he is a replacement, forget for who though, Koch got hurt, think they got someone else who got hurt and they signed him.
He was just featured on BE prospect report.
Hmmm Dana starting to realize how many fans he was alienating when he basically made FuelTv the official UFC channel 
Chris27 -I'm pretty sure Ricardo Lamas was the original replacement.

Yea I made the Scouting Report Preview Highlight for smoogy and Roling, so I was going through footage of the fighters that were going to be featured in the report about a month ago. I didn't end up using any video from his fights but the kid is a really exciting fighter. He may be a in over his head against Poirier, but this should be a fun fight to watch.

I still think they are gonna do what they do with Fuel with a few live exclusive events, weigh ins, pre/post fight shows, unleashed, countdowns, UFC Tonight etc but yeah I think this is more about PPVs.
You just had 1.8 mill people watch the last SPike prelims, that helps PPV buys, having these prelims on Fuel so if they are lucky 50 to 100k people watch, thats not helping the PPV numbers.
So they probably can draw around the same number of viewers for prelims as spike, maybe not at first, maybe when they really get into promoting UFC on FX and TUF is on and it becomes more known as a home for the UFC I think they will do 1.5 to 2 mill for prelims and that helps PPV numbers.
