There's been a shakeup to one of the more intriguing undercard bouts for the UFC on Fox 5 card this December, as T.J. Dillashaw has suffered an injury, taking him out of his scheduled bout against Mike Easton on the card.
In his place steps Dillashaw's fellow Ultimate Fighter 14 castmate Bryan Caraway, who will fight for the second time in the UFC's bantamweight division. The UFC announced the change on Tuesday.
Caraway is riding a three fight winning streak, including two straight inside the UFC. Following his time on TUF, Caraway submitted Dustin Neace at the Finale event. He then dropped to the bantamweight division, where he submitted Mitch Gagnon at UFC 149 in July.
Easton's won three straight inside the Octagon, most recently taking out Ivan Menjivar by decision in July at UFC 148. The win was his eighth straight overall, moving his career record to 13-1.
UFC on Fox 5 takes place on Dec. 8 in Seattle, headlined by a Lightweight Championship bout between Ben Henderson and Nate Diaz.
