Victor Henry withdrew and sent in an undefeated 21-year-old Mexican wrestling champion instead — this might be worse news for Mitchell.
Bryce Mitchell was supposed to face Victor Henry in a relatively comfortable bantamweight booking. Henry is 25-7 and returning from a year-long layoff — manageable opposition for a man trying to rebuild his UFC standing after getting knocked out by Jean Silva.

Mitchell prepared for Victor Henry and now receives a completely different challenge in an undefeated wrestler on short notice. His bantamweight transition has been smooth and his conditioning at 135 looks better than his featherweight days. No injury news.

The Greco-Roman wrestling of Luna versus Mitchell's submission hunting creates a high-stakes grappling match
Short notice disadvantage — Luna's preparation for Mitchell's specific tendencies will be incomplete
Mitchell's experience at this level of competition against a prospect who has never faced it
Which fighter's grappling game establishes position first will likely determine the outcome
Luna's attitude heading in suggests he will engage rather than survive — making a boring decision unlikely
Luna's Greco-Roman pedigree may neutralise Mitchell's submission game entirely, taking away his biggest advantage
Short-notice opponents with nothing to lose historically fight loosely and dangerously — Luna's youth adds to the unpredictability
