Tim Credeur has been forced out of this month’s UFC 137 event, and promotional newcomer Dustin Jacoby has stepped in as a replacement against middleweight Brad Tavares.
The fighter’s reps alerted MMAjunkie.com of the switch overnight. Jacoby and his trainer, Marc Fiore, subsequently announced it via Twitter and Facebook.
UFC 137 takes place Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
