According to MMAJunkie.com, Stephan Bonnar has been forced out of his bout and will be unable to compete at UFC on Versus 5. As a result, UFC newcomer Ronny Marks will be his replacement.

Marks will take on Karlos Vemola in a light heavyweight bout scheduled for the event, but it might be demoted to the undercard. 

Marks has competed throughout Brazil and holds an overall professional record of 11-1. He is currently riding a four-fight win streak and holds a notable win over former WEC champion Paulo Filho.

Vemola tasted defeat inside the Octagon at UFC 116, where he lost to Jon Madsen via unanimous decision. The 23-year-old Czech Republic native rebounded with a TKO victory over Seth Petruzelli at UFC 122.  More recently, however, Vemola was forced out of his bout with Luiz Cane due to an injury at UFC 128, but he will look to continue to impress the UFC crowd and bolster his 8-1 record. 

UFC on Versus 5 is scheduled for Aug. 14, live from the Bradley Centre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
