Waylon Lowe Replaces Injured Thiago Tavares, Faces Melvin Guillard At UFC 114

Waylon Lowe (8-2) will replace an injured Thiago Tavares against Melvin Guillard at UFC 114, set for May 29 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.  Reports of Tavares' injury were reported earlier this morning.  Heavy MMA confirmed Lowe as the replacement with sources close to the fight.

Guillard has won four of his last five fights, most recently grinding out a unanimous decision victory over Ronnys Torres at UFC 109.
