The lightweight bout between Abel Trujillo and Bobby Green that was scheduled to take place at the now postponed UFC 176 fight card has been moved to UFC Fight Night 47 in Bangor, Maine on August 16th.
UFC officials announced the change on Tuesday.
UFC Fight Night 47 will come from the Cross Insurance Center on August 16th and will be headlined by a light heavyweight bout as Ryan Bader meets Ovince St. Preux.
Trujillo (12-5, 1NC) was scheduled to face Myles Jury at UFC Fight Night 44 last month, but an injury to Jury scratched the fight. There were reports that Trujillo would face Frank Trevino at UFC Fight Night 44, but the fight was never officially announced.
Green (22-5) has pulled out of two fights this year due to injuries and this will be his first fight since defeating Pat Healy at UFC on FOX 9 at the end of 2013. He is currently on a seven fight winning streak and two of his three wins in the UFC have come by stoppage.
