Magnus Cedenblad (10-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) has been forced out of next week's UFC on FOX 6 event, and Legacy FC veteran and promotional newcomer Sean Spencer (9-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has taken his spot.
Spencer, who usually fights at welterweight, now takes on fellow middleweight Rafael Natal (14-4-1 MMA, 2-2-1 UFC) in the night's opening bout, UFC officials recently announced.
Officials also confirmed a change MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported earlier today: Josh Janousek (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has replaced Buddy Roberts (12-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and now meets fellow middleweight Michael Kuiper (12-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC).
UFC on FOX 6 takes place Jan. 26 at United Center in Chicago. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Spencer currently is riding a three-fight win streak, and in his two most recent bouts (for Bellator and Legacy FC), he scored wins over Joseph Daily and then-unbeaten Evan Cutts. The four-year pro had been scheduled to fight Roy Spoon in April at Legacy FC 19, but he instead signed with the UFC with the organization's blessing.
Natal returns to the cage for the first time since a July loss to Andrew Craig at UFC on FUEL TV 4. The Brazilian appeared well on his way to a victory before Craig's head kick gave the Texan an incredible come-from-behind win. It snapped a two-fight winning streak for Natal, who had scored decision wins over Paul Bradley and Kuiper in his two previous bouts.
