Almost as quickly as it was announced that Brazilian phenom Erick Silva was without an opponent for UFC Rio: Aldo vs. Mendes, another fighter has already stepped up to fill the void.
Silva was originally slated to face stand-up specialist Siyar Bahadurzada, but an injury knocked the Afghan out of the fight. Taking his place is Brazilian born Texas transplant Carlo Prater.

Some injuries and whatever hitting this card.
I haven't seen Prater since his WEC stint.

I can't believe Siyar is out. So disappointed in that. He was the part of the card I was most looking forward to. Decent replacement though.

Agreed. He was the highlight for me.

Siyar vs Silva was going to be ridiculous. Silva v Prater will be a showcase.
