Mike Ciesnolevicz
Mike Ciesnolevicz has been tapped to replace an injured Eric Schafer and square off with Tomasz Drwal at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale on June 20th in Las Vegas.
NWI.com was first to report the replacement earlier today. According to reports, Schafer was forced to withdraw from the bout after suffering a rib injury in training.
Ciesnolevicz (17-3), a veteran of the IFL, defeated Neil Grove via first-round submission in his UFC debut at UFC 95 in February.
After suffering a loss to Thiago Silva in September 2007 in his UFC debut, Drwal (15-2) bounced back at UFC 93 with a first-round TKO of Ivan Serati.

Ciesnolevicz will probably win by sub, but we’ll see.
When’s Ciesnolevicv going to fight Krzystof Soszynski?
Buffer, Rogan, and Goldberg should get a raise if that fight ever happens, or maybe a big bonus if they get the names right every time.
I don’t think Buffer’s cue cards will save him in that one.
