As can happen at a MMA event, a fighter that was originally slated to participate on the fight card has to be replaced, due to injury or other reasons.
That is certainly the case at UFC on Versus 3 as Maiquel Falcao, originally selected to take on Alessio Sakara, had to bow out due to an injury. He will be replaced by Rafael Natal for this middleweight bout agaisnt Sakara.
The bout between Natal and Sakara will remain on the televised portion of the fight card.
Natal is looking for his first win in the UFC, having lost to Rich Attonito at UFN 22 and fighting to a majority draw against Jesse Bongfeldt at UFC 124.
Meanwhile, Sakara has won his last three contests against Joe Vedepo, Thales Leites and James Irvin. He was originally supposed to have fought Jorge Rivera at UFC 122 but pulled out due to having flu-like symptoms.
UFC on Versus 3 is scheduled to take place on March 3 from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY and will be televised live on Versus.
