With Tom Lawlor injured, Corey Anderson steps in to face Fabio Maldonado at UFC Sao Paulo

The UFC's trip to Brazil next month is getting a slight alteration.

Tom Lawlor is out with an injury and Corey Anderson will replace him in a light heavyweight fight against Fabio Maldonado at UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson 3 on Nov. 7 in Sao Paulo, the UFC announced Tuesday.

Anderson (6-1) is coming off a unanimous decision win over Jan Blachowicz at UFC 191 in September. Before that, he lost his first career bout to Gian Villante via third-round TKO at UFC on FOX 15 in April.
