Keenan Cornelius' trip to Seoul, South Korea, has fallen through -- but DJ Jackson has stepped up to take on local hero Dong Hyun Kim in a no-gi superfight this weekend.

The Atos technician was supposed to meet the UFC fighter in a no-gi superfight, but wildfires in California created travel disruptions that prevented Cornelius from flying to South Korea.
