An injury suffered by Paul Taylor has forced him to pull out of his fight against Anthony Njokuani at UFC Fight Night 30 and taking his place in the bout will be Al Iaquinta.
UFC officials confirmed the change on Thursday and the bout will likely be apart of the preliminary card.
UFC Fight Night 30 on October 26th will come from the Manchester Arena and will be headlined by Michael Bisping facing Mark Munoz in a five round middleweight bout.
Iaquinta (6-2-1) was a finalist during The Ultimate Fighter 15 and earned his first UFC victory at UFC 164 last month against Ryan Couture. It was his first victory since 2011 and snapped a two fight losing streak.
Njokuani (16-7, 1NC) has won two of his last three fights in the UFC and most recently defeated Roger Bowling by knockout in the second round at UFC on FOX 7 in April. The victory was his first stoppage win since he defeated Edward Faaloloto at WEC 52 in 2010 by TKO.
