Jason Brilz has been forced out of UFC 122 with an injury, and UFC newcomer Alexandre Ferreira has stepped in to replace him and face Vladimir Matyushenko, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to MMA Fighting.
Matyushenko (24-5) is looking to rebound from his recent first-round TKO loss at the hands of Jon Jones in August. It was his first loss in the octagon in his second go-around with the company, previously defeating Jason Lambert and Igor Pokrajac.
