The UFC's fourth-quarter slate just lost another main event. Welterweight contender Matt Brown has been forced to withdraw from his Nov. 21 headlining fight at the finale of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2' against Kelvin Gastelum after suffering an ankle injury in training.

The UFC confirmed the news to MMAFighting.com on Monday following an initial report by FOX Sports. A search for a replacement is currently underway, with the hopes of keeping Gastelum on the card.

Gastelum (11-1), a former 'TUF 17' winner, served as head coach on 'TUF: Latin America 2' this season alongside Efrain Escudero.
