First Lavar Johnson was forced off of the UFC on FOX 5 card with a pulled a groin earlier in the week and then it was announced that Brendan Schaub would be off of the card altogether. As such, it has forced a reshuffling off the bout order. Johnson and Schaub were supposed to fight in the main slot of the FX prelims, and now will be moved up the FX portion from the facebook card. Check out the new order below.

Don’t forget about Easton. Kid is a monster!
Sucks about Schaub’s fight with Johnson falling apart. Was really looking forward to it.
I’m digging a handful of those FX prelims. Stephens/Edwards and Phan/Siver should rock.
