Ultimate Fighter 19 winner Corey Anderson's had yet another opponent change for next week's UFC 181 event in Las Vegas.
He was originally scheduled to meet Gian Villante on the card, then Jonathan Wilson when Villante was forced out. Now, Wilson is off the card as well, as the UFC has announced that Anderson will fight newcomer Justin Jones instead.
Jones brings an identical young undefeated record to Anderson at 3-0, having just turned pro earlier this year. He moves up from the middleweight division for this short notice matchup. Anderson turned pro last year, earning two decision wins in the exhibition bouts on the card before getting a slot on TUF 19, where he went on to stop Matt Van Buren in the finals.
This fight will take place on the Fox Sports 1 prelims next week from Las Vegas, part of the lead-in to the pay-per-view card headlined by the Welterweight Championship rematch between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler.
