With Ricardo Lamas no longer having an opponent for UFC 162 in two weeks, he has been pulled from the card and replacing that bout on the main card will be a middleweight bout as Tim Boetsch meets Mark Munoz.
This news was announced on last night’s edition of UFC Tonight by FUEL TV reporter Ariel Helwani and it’s unclear at this time when Lamas will be booked for another fight.
Boetsch and Munoz were scheduled to be the main event of the preliminary card on FX and replacing that fight as the headliner of the preliminary card will be a middleweight bout as Chris Leben faces Andrew Craig.
