Only days after being revealed, a bantamweight bout between Russell Doane and Michinori Tanaka has been removed from the UFC 195 fight card.
An update to UFC.com on Monday featured a new UFC Fight Pass preliminary matchup for the January event pitting Tanaka against former Bellator titleholder Joe Soto.
Soto entered the UFC on a six-fight winning streak but has not fared well inside the Octagon, suffering brutal knockouts against T.J. Dillashaw and Anthony Birchak. Tanaka dropped a narrow split decision to Kyung Ho Kang last September and was subsequently suspended by the UFC for nine months after testing positive for banned substances.
