After losing his initial opponent due to an injury, John Howard has gone from a main-card bout with fellow contender Anthony Johnson to an un-aired preliminary-card fight with UFC newcomer Daniel Roberts at UFC on Versus 1.
MMAjunkie.com confirmed the bout last week, and UFC officials have since made the welterweight matchup official.
With the fight moved to the March 21 event’s preliminary card, only three fights are set for the Versus-televised main card. A source close to the event told MMAjunkie.com a newly booked fight
likely will take the vacant spot on the televised portion of the show.
