A little more than a week away, Joaquim Silva has a replacement opponent for his lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night 109. The recent news that Mairbek Taisumov ’s (25-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) return to action had been delayed by a shoulder injury meant Silva (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) needed a new foe. He now has one in Reza Madadai (14-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC). UFC officials announced the replacement today. UFC Fight Night 109 takes place May 28, a Sunday, at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. The card airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass
