A shoulder injury has forced lightweight Spencer "The King" Fisher (20-4-0) to pull out of his fight against Marcus "Maximus" Aurelio (15-5-0), scheduled for April 2 at UFC Fight Night 13. His replacement will be Ring of Combat lightweight champion Jim Miller (10-1-0).

Undefeated in five fights, Miller's only loss came by unanimous decision to UFC vet Frankie "The Answer" Edgar (8-0-0) in November 2006. Aurelio is coming off a win over Luke Caudillo (14-9-0) at UFC 78: Validation.

Before that fight, "Maximus" suffered decision losses to Clay Guida (22-9-0), Takanori Gomi (28-3-0) and Mitsuhiro Ishida (16-3-1). Fisher was the -125 favorite to beat Aurelio in the Bodog Sportsbook.
