We have a new main event for UFC Fight Night 100. Instead of Alexander Gustafsson headlining against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, the event will now have Ryan Bader going against the Brazilian in Sao Paulo. This is due to an back injury sustained by Gustafsson. The fight change was first reported by MMA Fighting.
Bader (21-5, 14-5 UFC) is coming off a huge KO win over Ilir Latifi at the UFC Hamburg event earlier this month. He has won six of his last seven overall, with the only loss coming to Anthony Johnson earlier this year.
Nogueira (22-7, 5-4 UFC) broke a two-fight losing streak with a TKO win over Patrick Cummins in May.
The two men have fought before, with Bader winning a unanimous decision at UFC 119 in 2010.
UFC Fight Night 100 takes place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on November 19th. It's the second UFC event that day, as they're also running a show in Northern Ireland as well.
Gustafsson's management sent out an explanation about why Gustafsson was forced out, along with the reasoning behind Reza Medadi's removal from UFC 204 (via Chamatkar Sandhu)
