UFC featherweight Nik Lentz is having some terrible luck holding onto opponents.
After Charles Oliveira was forced out the day of their rematch in September due to an illness, Lentz was booked against Thiago Tavares for next month's UFC Fight Night 60 event in another rematch. Now, Tavares has been forced out with an injury, according to a report from MMAJunkie.com, and the UFC is seeking another replacement opponent.
Lentz has gone 4-1 since dropping to the 145 lb. field, with his sole loss coming against perennial contender Chad Mendes by decision in December of 2013.
UFC Fight Night 60 takes place from Broomfield, Colo., airing live on Fox Sports 1 with a headlining bout between Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson and Brandon Thatch.
