Gabriel Gonzaga needs a new opponent.
Roughly one month before the hulking heavyweight returns to action at UFC Fight Night 86, which takes place on Sun., April 10, 2016 in Zagreb, Croatia, his opponent announced a late injury and subsequent withdrawal from their FOX Sports 1 co-main event.

While the promotion has yet to make an official announcement, it's not unreasonable to think matchmakers can scare up a 265-pound replacement between now and then.
