Sonnen pulled, Tonon now faces Antonio Carlos Junior at SUG3

We announced yesterday that Chael Sonnen had stepped in for Hector Lombard against Garry Tonon at SUG3 this upcoming Sunday. Unfortunately, Bellator MMA pulled Sonnen from the scheduled contest, but the folks at Submission Underground have found a suitable replacement for Tonon — Antonio Carlos Junior.

The news was dropped on Tonon’s Twitter page, early Wednesday morning.

My new opponent for @SUG_Grappling is a 185 pound @ufc fighter.

My new opponent for @SUG_Grappling was an impressive BJJ resume.
