UFC on FUEL TV 7: Poirier Replaces Siver, Now Meets Swanson

Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier

Siver Injured, Dustin Poirier in to Fight Cub Swanson

The anticipation for fireworks just got even more intense for the co-main event in the UFC's return to the UK next month.

Dangerous kickboxer Denis Siver has sustained an injury and is forced to withdraw from his featherweight battle with Cub Swanson at UFC on FUEL TV 7, February 16th at Wembley Arena in London, England.

Replacing Siver will be the always exciting Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier, coming off a first round submission of Jonathan Brookins at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale.

Prior to that fight, he was defeated by Chan Sung Jung in May, losing via submission.

Meanwhile, Swanson has been perfect in his last three contests, earning back-to-back-to-back knockout wins, including his KO against Charles Oliveira at UFC 152 last September.
