After being pulled off the UFC On Fuel TV II card due to an opponent switch, light heavyweight fighter Igor Pokrajac will now face Fabio Maldonado at UFC On Fuel TV III. Pokrajac was originally slated to face Thiago Silva at UFC On Fuel TV II, but injuries to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira forced the UFC to put Silva in the main event against Alexander Gustafsson instead. Maldonado has not fought since June 2011, losing to Kyle Kingsbury at the UFC Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale. UFC On Fuel TV III takes place on May 15th at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia and it is headlined by a battle between Dustin Poirier and Chan Sung Jung.
