Another change has hit the preliminary card of the UFC’s August return to Boston. Akira Corassani (11-3-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has been forced out of his featherweight bout against former WEC champion Mike Brown (26-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC), and stepping in for him will be another Season 14 “Ultimate Fighter” alum in Steven Siler (22-10 MMA, 4-1 UFC). UFC officials recently announced the fight switch for UFC on FOX Sports 1 1, which takes place Aug. 17 at TD Garden in Boston. The show will be the UFC’s first on the new FOX Sports 1 cable network, which will launch the same day. Siler got back in the win column in April with a unanimous decision win over Kurt Holobaugh at UFC 159 in Newark, N.J. After appearing on Season 14 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Siler won his official UFC debut with a unanimous decision win over Josh Clopton at the TUF 14 Finale
