Injured Kelvin Gastelum out of UFC 195 main card bout vs. Kyle Noke

UFC welterweight contender Kelvin Gastelum was scheduled to face Kyle Noke at UFC 195 but has been forced out of the bout with an injury. Filling in for the TUF winner is UFC newcomer Alex Morono, UFC officials announced on Tuesday.

Noke (22-7-1) is currently riding a two-fight winning streak with a recent TKO win over Peter Sobotta and a controversial decision victory over Jonavin Webb. His last loss came to Patrick Cote in early 2014.

Morono (11-3) became the Legacy FC welterweight champion earlier this month at Legacy FC 49 with a first-round submission over Derrick Krantz.
