An injury has knocked a heavyweight bout off the UFC’s return to Indianapolis, and a pair of lightweights will fill the gap on the card. Derrick Lewis (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been forced out of his scheduled fight against Nandor Guelmino (11-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC on FOX Sports 1 2. Both fighters would have been making their UFC debuts. Instead, Guelmino will be shifted to UFC 165 in Toronto and lightweights Roger Bowling (11-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Abel Trujillo (10-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will meet in Indy. UFC officials announced the change and new booking on Monday night. Though the UFC did not announce a new opponent for Guelmino, Swedish site MMA Nytt reports the recently signed Daniel Omielanczuk (15-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will meet Guelmino on the card.
