A middleweight bout between Nate Marquardt and Rousimar Palhares initially scheduled for UFC 118 has been moved to UFC Fight Night 22 and now serves as the night’s main event.
Sources close to the event today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com.
The UFC Fight Night 22 headliner slot opened when Alan Belcher was forced out of his bout with Demian Maia due to detached retina that required surgery.
