UFC 90 is coming up soon, taking place on October 25 at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago, Illinois area.

Undefeated 24-year-old Croatian middleweight MMA fighter Goran Reljic 1-0 UFC, 8-0 overall) has suffered a back injury that’s forced him to back out of his scheduled bout with UFC veteran fighter Thales Leites (4-1 UFC, 13-1 overall), who is seeking his 5th straight win with this bout, his most recent coming in a split-decision against Nate Marquardt in UFC 85.

Leites, who is currently in the midst of a 4-fight long winning streak, will now be fighting Drew McFedries (3-3 UFC, 7-4 overall).

In response to the scheduling change, the fight between lightweights Rich Clementi (5-3 UFC, 32-12-1 overall) and Gray Maynard (3-0 UFC, 5-0 overall), which previously was not intended to televised, has now been bumped up to be broadcast on Pay-Per-View as part of the Main Card.
