Abel Trujillo replaced by Bobby Green, who will fight Lando Vannata at UFC 216 in Las Vegas

Abel Trujillo has been forced to withdraw from yet another UFC fight.

Trujillo will no longer be able to compete against Lando Vannata (9-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at UFC 216 and has been replaced by fellow lightweight veteran Bobby Green (23-8 MMA, 4-3 UFC), UFC officials announced today.

UFC 216 takes place Oct. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.

Green will carry a three-fight losing skid into the event for what will be just his third fight in three years. “King” has dropped consecutive fights against Rashid Magomedov, Dustin Poirier and Edson Barboza. His most recent win came against former Strikeforce champ Josh Thomson at UFC on FOX 12 in July 2014.

Vannata, meanwhile, is coming off a somewhat surprising loss to David Teymur in the “Fight of the Night” at UFC 209 in March. He’s alternated wins and losses over his three-fight UFC tenure and has won a fight-night bonus in each of those bouts.

With the change, the latest UFC 216 card now includes:

• Will Brooks vs. Nik Lentz
• Bobby Green vs. Lando Vannata
• Beneil Dariush vs. Evan Dunham
• Thales Leites vs. Brad Tavares
• Magomed Bibulatov vs. John Moraga
• Marco Beltran vs. Matt Schnell
• Mark Godbeer vs. Walt Harris
• Jessica Eye vs. Paige VanZant
