TORONTO — Scottish lightweight Steven (Braveheart) Ray will make his UFC debut next week in Poland, replacing injured Canadian Jason Saggo.

Saggo, who fights out of Charlottetown, was forced to pull out of the April 11 bout in Krakow against Poland’s Marcin Brandel, after rupturing his Achilles in training.

Ray, a former Cage Warriors world champion with a 16-5 record, has won four of his last five.
