\nYesterday we announced the removal of Paulo Thiago from his UFC Fight Night 27 bout against TUF winner, Kelvin Gastelum.<\/p>\n

Today, we can now announce his replacement as it was confirmed on last night’s “UFC Tonight” on FUEL TV.<\/p>\n

In for the injured Paulo Thiago comes Brain Melancon.<\/p>\n

UFC Fight Night 27 is set to go down from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on August 28th and is set to air live and free on Fox Sports 1.<\/p>\n

Melancon is a former Strikeforce fighter who didn’t show much promise until his returned to action in the UFC after a two-year absence from competition. After going just 1-1 under the Strikeforce banner the Texas-based fighter took his first fight back to action earlier this month at UFC 162 where he notched a victory over Seth Baczynski.<\/p>\n

With this change to the fight night, the new lineup looks as follows:<\/p>\n

Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann
\nDonald Cerrone vs. Rafael dos Anjos
\nKelvin Gastelum vs. Brian Melancon
\nSarah Kaufman vs. Sara McMann
\nCourt McGee vs. Robert Whittaker
\nRobert McDaniel vs. Brad Tavares
\nTakeya Mizugaki vs. Erik Perez
\nJustin Edwards vs. Brandon Thatch
\nDarren Elkins vs. Hatsu Hioki
\nJames Head vs. Jason High
\nBen Alloway vs. Zak Cummings
\nPapy Abedi vs. Dylan Andrews
\nRoger Bowling vs. Abel Trujillo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
