Varner out, #11 Healy now faces Green at UFC on Fox 9

An injury forces Jamie Varner out of his bout with #11 Pat Healy. In to replace him is Bobby Green. Green is coming off a controversial TKO win over James Krause which should have been declared a no-contest. Green hit Krause in the lower abdomen which should have still felt delicate considering Krause was hit low twice beforehand. Healy is coming off a decision loss to #10 Khabib Nurmagomedov. Both men will look to shed the last impression they both left in their previous trip to the octagon on December 14th on Fox. 






Note; this fight is now added to the 'UPCOMING FIGHTS' tab.
