Following the withdrawal of Anthony Johnson from UFC on FOX 20, the promotion has announced that Glover Teixeira will no longer compete on the July 23rd card as well.

The light-heavyweights were scheduled to fight in the co-headliner of the upcoming event, but Johnson recently withdrew from the card due to personal reasons. On Friday, the UFC confirmed that it plans to re-book the fight for later this year, and that Teixeira will no longer compete at UFC on FOX 20.

A lightweight fight between contenders Gilbert Melendez and Edson Barboza has moved into the co-main event slot. The event, which will take place in Chicago, will be headlined by a bantamweight fight between Holly Holm and Valentina Shevchenko.
