Nova Uniao lightweight Ronnys Torres (5-0) has again pulled from his UFC debut with an injury, this time from a matchup versus “Li’l Heathen” Jeremy Stephens (16-4) at Fight Night 19 in Oklahoma City 16 September.

Justin Buchholz (9-3) will replace Torres, according to MMA Junkie.

Stephens is on a two-fight losing streak, most recently on the short end of a unanimous decision versus Gleison Tibau (16-5) at Fight Night 18 in Nashville last April.

Buchholz tapped in an arm triangle to Terry Etim (13-2) at UFC 99 in Cologne last month.
