Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante has suffered an injury, taking him out of a fight against Ovince St. Preux in November at UFC Fight Night 56 in Brazil.

The UFC announced the injury removal on Friday, as well as his replacement in Francimar Barroso.

Brazil's Barroso is a 20 fight veteran who has split two appearances in the Octagon thus far. He was set to take on Patrick Cummins earlier this year before injury sidelined him.

As for St. Preux, the Strikeforce vet was making a run in the UFC's light heavyweight division, but that stalled out this summer when Ryan Bader beat him by decision.

UFC Fight Night 56 takes place on Nov. 8, airing live on Fox Sports 1 with a headlining bout between Shogun Rua and Jimi Manuwa.
