Lutter scratched from UFC 74:Respect
Due to a neck injury, Travis Lutter is unable to face Ryan Jensen at the UFC 74: Respect pay-per-view on Aug. 25. Instead, Jensen will take on Thales Leites.
Lutter (9-4) won The Ultimate Fight 4 last year, but then lost to Anderson Silva on Feb. 3 at UFC 67: All or Nothing.
Jensen will be making his UFC debut after racking up an 11-1 record in smaller groups lie International Fighting Championship and Victory Fighting Championship.
Leites also sports an 11-1 record, with his only loss coming to Martin Kampmann on the night Lutter won TUF 4. Since then, Leites has defeated Pete Sell and Floyd Sword.
UFC 74 will be headlined by Randy Couture vs. Gabriel Gonzaga for the heavyweight title; and Georges St.-Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck.
