Heavyweight prospect Todd Duffee (6-0), who earned a UFC-record 7-second knockout of Tim Hague in August in his UFC debut, has been forced with withdraw from his UFC 107 matchup with a returning Paul Buentello due to an undisclosed injury.

Duffee confirmed the withdrawal on Tuesday with Sherdog, which also spoke to Buentello, who says Stefan Struve and Mike Russow have been proposed as potential opponents for the main card fight.

A previously-unreported lightweight matchup between Shane Nelson and Matt Wiman, as well as a middleweight bout between Lucio Linhares and Rousimar Palhares originally rumored for The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale, are among the latest additions to the official fight card for UFC 107 on December 19 in Memphis, Tennessee.

A heavyweight matchup between undefeated prospect Todd Duffee and returning veteran Paul Buentello is in the works for UFC 107 on December 12 in Memphis, Tennessee. According to MMAjunkie, both fighters have agreed to the bout and official agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

Affliction’s Tom Atencio has confirmed to Fanhouse that, as previously reported, Josh Barnett is out of his Affliction: Trilogy headliner against Fedor Emelianenko after a pre-fight drug screening was positive for a banned substance

Atencio declined to reveal what substance Barnett tested positive for and went on to say that, although the main event is no longer intact, “at this point” the event is still expected to take place.

Luiz Cane says he’d like to fight fellow light heavyweight contender Rich Franklin, heavyweight prospect Bobby Lashley will next fight in September, and Diego Sanchez will get the next lightweight title shot against the BJ Penn-Kenny Florian.
