It seems like it’s almost a daily occurrence, this UFC injury bug. The latest injury has hit the UFC 149 fight card again. Michael Bisping has been forced to back out of his main card fight against Tim Boetsch due to injury.

The UFC announced the fight late Wednesday evening.

Michael Bisping injured; Hector Lombard in at UFC 149

UFC 149 and UFC on FOX 4 have swapped stars after another pair of injuries shook up the summer fight scene today.

British middleweight Michael Bisping has been injured and is out of his UFC 149 bout against rising forceTim Boetsch. Stepping in to meet “The Barbarian” will be Hector Lombard, a former Cuban Olympian who rides a 25-fight unbeaten streak into his Octagon debut.

Lombard had been slated to fight Brian Stann in the main event of UFC on FOX 4 in August, but was left opponentless earlier today after Stann was forced to withdraw due to injury. That event got a new headliner in the form of Shogun Rua, who’d been left orphaned on the UFC 149 fight card after planned opponent Thiago Silva was hurt.

Joe Silva had his hands full , but seemed to make the easy move by simply swapping talent between UFC 149 and UFC on Fox 4.

With all the shuffling, the new UFC 149 card looks very different from the card original announced.
