Injury replacement Siyar Bahadurzada (21-5-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), who took a spot originally intended for Tarec Saffiedine , has now also been forced with withdraw from UFC on FOX 8. Taking his place is five-time Strikeforce vet Bobby Voelker (24-9 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who now becomes Robbie Lawler ‘s third scheduled opponent. UFC on FOX 8 takes place July 27 at KeyArena in Seattle. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook. Lawler vs. Voelker is expected to air on the main card.

Lawler recently returned to the UFC after a long run with EliteXC and Strikeforce
