UFC officials announced on Friday that the planned co-main event for UFC on FOX 20 between Glover Teixeira and Anthony Johnson has been scrapped.

The new co-main event will be lightweights Gilbert Melendez and Edson Barboza, which also opens a spot on the main card for Bojan Mihajlovic-Francis Ngannou and Felice Herrig-Kailin Curran.

Teixeira-Johnson is expected to be re-booked in the near future. Johnson was forced out due to a serious family matter.
