Dan Hardy’s callout of Matt Brown will have to wait for another day.
An injury has forced Hardy (25-10 MMA, 6-4 UFC) out of a welterweight fight with Brown (16-11 MMA, 6-5 UFC) at UFC on FOX 7 next month. Stepping up to fill the void will be Jordan Mein (27-8 MMA, 1-0 UFC), fresh off his UFC debut win over Dan Miller.
UFC officials announced the changes overnight.
UFC on FOX 7 takes place April 20 at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. The main card will be broadcast on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook. Headlining the event is a lightweight title fight between champion Benson Henderson and final Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez, plus a heavyweight fight between former champ Frank Mir and Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix champ Daniel Cormier.
