The Ultimate Fighting Championship has pulled the ol’ switcheroo.

On Monday, WristlockMMA broke the news that Raul Rosas Jr. (11-1) has forced out of his upcoming bantamweight battle with Rob Font (22-8). The two were expected to tussle in the co-headliner of Noche UFC, also known as UFC Fight Night 259, on Sept. 13. The event is set to go down at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. With that match off the table, the promotion has slotted in a lightweight banger between locals Alexander Hernandez (17-8) and Diego Ferreira (19-6).
