Matt Hamill has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 102 bout with Brandon Vera due to an injury.
Sherdog first reported that Hamill suffered a knee injury. MMA Junkie has expanded upon that initial report stating that Hamill suffered a meniscus tear and will be out 3-4 weeks.
Former TUF season eight contestant, Krzysztof Soszynski, has stepped in to replace the injured Hamill. Soszynski is riding a three fight win streak in the UFC and will be facing his stiffest competition to date in Brandon Vera.
Vera is 2-1 in the UFC since dropping to light heavyweight but the former heavyweight standout has been far from impressive.
