The injury bug has hit Music City.
Both Ian McCall and Joe Riggs are hurt and have to pull out of their respective fights at UFC Fight Night: Teixeira vs. Saint Preux. However, the UFC has quickly booked new bouts.
Uriah Hall will now meet newcomer Oluwale Bamgbose and Dustin Ortiz will take on Willie Gates on the Aug. 8 card in Nashville.
Hall (10-5) is coming off a lackluster decision loss to Rafael Natal at UFC 187 in May, but has won three of his last four. This will be his welterweight debut. Bamgbose (5-0), a New Yorker like Hall, has won all of his pro fights thus far via knockout.
Ortiz (14-4) has won two of three, but lost his most recent bout to Joseph Benavidez last November. Gates (12-5) will get a quick turnaround after his first-round knockout of Darrell Montague at The Ultimate Fighter 21 Finale on July 12.
UFC Fight Night 73 is headlined by a light heavyweight contender bout between Glover Teixeira and Ovince Saint Preux. In the co-main event, Michael Johnson will take on Beneil Dariush.
