Injuries have forced the UFC to shake up the UFC on FOX 8 card set for July 27th in Seattle as Matt Mitrione, Siyar Bahadurzada and Bobby Green have been pulled from the fight card.
UFC officials announced the bout changes on Thursday and the fight card will now have twelve bouts.
UFC on FOX 8 takes place on July 27th from KeyArena in Seattle and will be headlined by Demetrious Johnson defending the UFC flyweight title against John Moraga.
Mitrione was scheduled to face Brendan Schaub on the preliminary card but an injury forced Mitrione to pull out of the card and the UFC will move this fight to another fight card. Bahadurzada was scheduled to face Robbie Lawler on the main card and replacing him in the fight will be Bobby Voelker. Finally, Green pulled out of his lightweight fight against Danny Castillo and stepping in will be Tim Means.
