Henry Briones out of UFN 83, Francisco Rivera steps in to face Brad Pickett

Henry Briones will not be stepping inside the octagon to face Brad Pickett at UFC Fight Night 83. The cast member of The Ultimate Fighter Latin America season one is out of the competition due to an undisclosed injury, according to the UFC on Friday.

Pickett (24-11) is now scheduled to face Francisco Rivera (11-5) in a bantamweight bout.

"One Punch" last competed at UFC 189 where he made his return to the bantamweight division losing to top prospect Thomas Almeida via knockout. Pickett may find himself in a must win situation as he is currently in a three fight losing streak.
