Receives new opponent
Tybura (21-6-0) will now face Walt Harris (13-9-0) as his new opponent at UFC Fight Night on June 5 after Blagoy Ivanov had to withdraw from the initial fight at UFC 260 on March 27 due to an undisclosed injury, Farah Hannoun and Nolan King of MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Tybura may be looking at his toughest test yet as Harris is a higher-ranked fighter who is a serious threat to end the 35-year-old's winning streak in a few short months. Tybura is two inches shorter than Harris but has an inch advantage in reach as he'll look to continue to move up the UFC ranks with a statement win after Harris most recently lost via TKO (strikes) to Alexander Volkov back in October.

Needs new opponent at UFC 260
Tybura will no longer face Blagoy Ivanov at UFC 260 on March 27, Cole Shelton of MyMMANews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tybura had been looking to extend his UFC winning streak to five and build momentum following a TKO victory over Greg Hardy in December. He ultimately won't get to do so against the 34-year-old veteran of the UFC and WSOF, but with the event a month out and several heavyweights cashing in big performances last weekend, it wouldn't be surprising for the promotion to seek a new opponent.

Takes out Greg Hardy
Tybura defeated Greg Hardy via TKO (strikes) at 4:31 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Employing a bend but don't break mentality, Tybura managed to survive Hardy's early onslaught before putting him away in the later stages of Round 2. Tybura's chin has been questionable in the past, but it held up in this one. Hardy's gas tank has never been strong and unsurprisingly, the momentum shifted to Tybura as the fight progressed. Tybura turned 35 years of age this past November and doesn't possess the typical knockout power associated with most heavyweights, but he has won four fights in a row in 2020. This recent string of success comes on the heels of a five-fight streak in which he went 1-4 from November 2017 to September 2019. The most recent effort will help out his bank account as well, as Tybura earned one of four $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded Saturday night.
