ESPN<\/a>\u00a0has reported that Ilir Latifi has been injured out of his bout with Glover Teixeira. The news comes just days after the main event change.<\/p>\nUFC Hamburg is set to take place on July 22nd which gives the UFC a decent amount of time to find a replacement.<\/p>\n
This fight was to be Teixeira’s first fight since December when he rebounded from his loss to the previously mentioned Gustafsson by defeating Misha Cirkunov with a first-round TKO.<\/p>\n
Possible replacement options could include the rapidly rising prospect, Dominick Reyes who showed interest in filling in for Oezdemir against Shogun. Another could be Corey Anderson who also threw his name in the mix when Oezdemir was no longer going to make the walk.<\/p>\n
