An undisclosed injury has forced Kyung Ho Kang out of his scheduled bantamweight bout against The Ultimate Fighter 18 winner Chris Holdsworth at UFC 173.
Holdsworth will now face Chico Camus, a 29-year-old who rides a two-fight winning streak into the bout.
UFC officials confirmed the switch late Friday night.
Holdsworth (5-0) dominated his season of The Ultimate Fighter, earned quick submission victories over Chris Beal and Michael Wooten to pave his way to the tourney finals. Once there, the Team Alpha Male product completed his undefeated run by submitting David Grant with a second-round rear-naked choke.
Camus (14-4) has won three of his four UFC contests, including back to back victories over Kang and Yaotzin Meza.
