With the fight only 3 weeks away UFC officials said today that they are currently looking for a replacement. Gastelum obviously still in camp has his sights set on Tyron Woodley

But with Woodley currently awaiting a title shot due to Johny Hendricks not making weight for their planned fight at UFC 192 it seems unlikely Woodley would take up Gastelum on his offer.
