Lewis-Guelmino off UFC on FOX Sports 1 2, Bowling-Trujillo meet on card

An injury has knocked a heavyweight bout off the UFC’s return to Indianapolis, and a pair of lightweights will fill the gap on the card.

Derrick Lewis (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been forced out of his scheduled fight against Nandor Guelmino (11-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC on FOX Sports 1 2. Both fighters would have been making their UFC debuts. Instead, Guelmino will be shifted to UFC 165 in Toronto and lightweights Roger Bowling (11-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Abel Trujillo (10-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) will meet in Indy.

UFC officials announced the change and new booking on Monday night. Though the UFC did not announce a new opponent for Guelmino, Swedish site MMA Nytt reports the recently signed Daniel Omielanczuk (15-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will meet Guelmino on the card.

UFC on FOX Sports 1 2 takes place Aug. 28 – a Wednesday – at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The main card will air on the FOX Sports 1 cable network and will be the second UFC event on the channel. UFC 165 heads to Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Sept. 21 with a main card on pay-per-view.

Bowling made his UFC debut at UFC on FOX 7 in April after coming over from Strikeforce, where he had put together a 4-3 record at welterweight. He dropped to lightweight for his first UFC fight, but he was knocked out in the second round by Anthony Njokuani. It was the Ohioan’s second straight loss after a decision loss to final Strikeforce 170-pound champ Tarec Saffiedine in August 2012.

Trujillo also will be looking to rebound following a unanimous decision setback to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 160 in May. That loss snapped a five-fight win streak that included a second-round TKO win in his UFC debut at UFC on FOX 5 in December against Marcus LeVesseur.

Guelmino made his North American debut in January when he met Josh Barnett at Strikeforce’s final show in Oklahoma City. Barnett stopped him just over two minutes into the fight with an arm-triangle choke. That loss snapped the Austrian’s seven-fight win streak, which included five stoppages in Europe.

Omielanczuk will make his UFC debut on the strength of an 11-fight win streak. Of those 11 wins, nine have been stoppages – including eight straight submissions prior to his most recent win, a unanimous decision in December. It’s been two years since Omielanczuk’s most recent loss, a split decision setback.

Lewis was to be making his UFC debut on a six-fight unbeaten streak that includes five knockout wins and a no contest. In March, he stopped Ricky Shivers in the third round at Legacy FC 18 to follow up on a knockout of Jared Rosholt at Legacy FC 13.
