Spencer Fisher was forced to pull out of his April 2 Ultimate Fight Night showdown with Marcus Aurelio due to a shoulder injury suffered in training.
"Spencer is the kind of fighter who has fought plenty of fights with injuries and Marcus Aurelio is not the kind of fighter you want to fight at 80 percent," said the native North Carolinian's manager, Monte Cox. "He was willing to fight but we decided it just was not a smart decision."
According to the above linked Sherdog article Jim Miller is the likely replacement. Miller is the current Ring of Combat Lightweight Champion and sports a 10-1 record with the sole blemish at the hands of current UFC fighter Frank Edgar. A win would bring Miller a step closer to getting the chance to avenge that loss.
Aurelio will need to reevaluate his likely gameplan of taking the stand-up fighter (Fisher) to the ground as Miller is a stud on the ground having won 8 fights by submission.
