Next week’s UFC Fight Night 85 has gone through two changes to the preliminary card as lightweight Abel Trujillo is out of the event due to visa issues and flyweight Justin Scoggin has pulled out of the event with an injury.
Trujillo’s initial opponent Ross Pearson will remain on the fight card as he will now meet Chad Laprise, who was already scheduled to be on the fight card. Laprise was scheduled to face Alan Patrick on the preliminary card and the UFC is searching for a new opponent for Patrick.
