When a UFC fighter signs to a bout, does he/she knows who the potential replacement opponents are in case the main opponent couldn't fight because of, let's say, injuries?
The reason I'm asking this question is because it just occured to me that if a fighter signs to fight a specific opponent and trains for that particular opponent's style, and then at the very last minutes, the opponent drops out and someone else - someone with a different fighting style - steps in as a replacement, it would give the replacement a huge advantage in winning a fight that he/she normally would not.
