After injuries to original opponents, James Vick and Abel Trujillo to fight in Houston

UFC Fight Night 104 has some musical chairs going on.

After injuries to both of their opponents, James Vick and Abel Trujillo will now face each other in a lightweight battle in Houston on Feb. 4. Sourced informed MMA Fighting of the fight switch on Thursday.

The 29-year-old Vick was originally slated to face Johnny Case at the Super Bowl card, while Trujillo was to battle Evan Dunham.

Vick is coming off of a loss to Beneil Dariush at UFC 199 this past June (first-round knockout). Before then the “Texecutioner” had gone a perfect 4-0 in the UFC, with notable wins over Nick Hein and Jake Matthews.
