An injury has forced Vitor Belfort out of November’s UFC 139 event, and fellow middleweight Wanderlei Silva has stepped in to fight Cung Le.
UFC president Dana White today announced the change via Twitter.
UFC 139 takes place Nov. 19 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. The night’s main card, including Dan Henderson vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, airs on pay-per-view.
