Marc Diakiese (12-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Dan Hooker (14-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC) now will meet in the middle of the main card instead of the middle of the prelims on Saturday. UFC officials announced the change following the cancellation of the bantamweight bout between John Lineker (30-8 MMA, 11-3 UFC) and Jimmie Rivera (21-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC)
