Josh Haynes, a finalist on the third season of The Ultimate Fighter, will replace his Xtreme Couture teammate Benji Radach on the first IFL card of the 2008 season on February 29 in Las Vegas.

Radach was forced to withdraw against Leopoldo Serao because of a neck injury suffered while training for the middleweight bout.

"It’s a fantastic opportunity. I’ve wanted to fight for the IFL for a little while," said Haynes. "Ever since I left the UFC it’s been something I’ve wanted to do, and I think the matchup is fantastic. I love the opportunity to represent my gym. I’ve got a great camp and I think this guy is going to be unpleasantly surprised."

The event, which features Xtreme Couture vs. Mario Sperry's World Class Fighter Center and Team Quest vs. The Lions Den, will air live on HDNet from the ORleans Arena.
