While it might not create quite the stir of a “Cro Cop” for “Big Nog”
switch, there is one additional adjustment to the card at UFC 119.
Aaron Riley has been scratched from the card, and Brazilian Thiago
Tavares has agreed to step in against newcomer
Pat Audinwood.
MMAjunkie.com confirmed the switch with sources
close to the event, though the reason for Riley’s removal from the planned contest wasn’t
immediately evident.
