Ilir Latifi out, Corey Anderson in vs. Glover Texeira at UFC Hamburg

Having already lost the original main event, the UFC Hamburg co-main event has also been nixed.

Light heavyweight contender Ilir Latifi pulled out due to injury, leaving Glover Teixeira without an opponent. However, reports from Combate and MMA Fighting confirm that Corey Anderson has agreed to fly to Germany and step in on short notice.

Anderson (10-4) is coming off a dominant unanimous decision win over Patrick Cummins at UFC Atlantic City in April. The victory snapped a two-fight losing skid, which saw him knocked out by both Jimi Manuwa and Ovince Saint Preux.
