The card was initially scheduled to be headlined by Demetrious Johnson defending the UFC flyweight title against John Moraga, but Johnson pulled out of the fight with an injury.

With the title fight off the card, UFC President Dana White announced late last night that the new main event would be former WEC champion Urijah Faber meeting Scott Jorgensen in a bantamweight bout.

“Urijah Faber is one of the best bantamweights in the world and he proved it at UFC 157 by submitting Ivan Menjivar in the first round,” White said. “He’s ready to jump right back in the Octagon on April 13 with Scott Jorgensen, who’s ranked seventh in the world at 135 pounds. Both of these guys like to finish fights. This is a really exciting main event for the TUF Finale!”
