An injury to undefeated lightweight Jon Tuck has shortened next week's UFC on Fox 7 card by one fight.
According to a report from MMAJunkie.com, the lack of time to find a replacement has taken Tuck's scheduled opponent, "TUF: The Smashes" winner Norman Parke, off the card as well.
The bout was scheduled for the night's preliminary card, which will now feature eight fights between Facebook and FX, leading into the night's four-fight main card on Fox. Here's how the card looks as of now, though it's likely one Facebook fight gets bumped up to the three-hour FX broadcast by Saturday:
Main Card
Benson Henderson vs. Gilbert Melendez
Daniel Cormier vs. Frank Mir
Nate Diaz vs. Josh Thomson
Matt Brown vs. Jordan Mein
FX Preliminary Card
Darren Elkins vs. Chad Mendes
Francis Carmont vs. Lorenz Larkin
Myles Jury vs. Ramsey Nijem
Joseph Benavidez vs. Darren Uyenoyama
Jorge Masvidal vs. Tim Means
Facebook Preliminary Card
T.J. Dillashaw vs. Hugo Viana
Roger Bowling vs. Anthony Njokuani
Clifford Starks vs. Yoel Romero
