Women's title fight is replacement

Alexander 'The Mauler' Gustafsson punches Jon 'Bones' Jones in their UFC light heavyweight championship bout

Alexander Gustafsson has withdrawn from PICK TV's UFC event on June 20 due to injury.

The No 2 ranked light-heavyweight was scheduled to fight Glover Teixeira in the headline slot in Berlin, Germany.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk, the newly crowned women's strawweight champion, will now defend her title in the main-event against Jessica Penne.

Jedrzejczyk v Penne will be the first title fight to take place in Europe outside of the UK and the first ever female title fight in Europe.

Texeira, meanwhile, has been withdrawn from the event altogether while there is no word when Gustafsson will be fit to return to the Octagon.
