PrintWelterweight fighter Anthony Johnson (3-0) will replace Steve Bruno (11-3) and face Chad Reiner (13-2) at UFC Fight Night 10, according to UFC.com.
Earlier this week Bruno -- a member of the American Top Team camp -- had to withdraw from the bout with a torn rotator cuff, giving the UFC literally just a few days to find a fill-in.
This will be the first appearance inside the Octagon for Johnson, who previously competed for Rocky Mountain Nationals-MMA promotions and Pangea Fights.
He last fought in September 2006, earning a split-decision win over Keith Wilson (6-3).
UFC Ultimate Fight Night 10 is slated for this upcoming Tuesday, June 12, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
The Spike television special is headlined by a lightweight rematch between Spencer Fisher and Sam Stout, as well as a welterweight showdown between Jon Fitch and Roan Carneiro.

this fight card has had no advertising at all and is like only for hardcore fans id say casual fans have no idea who half of these guys are and as they should there are 6 debut fighters and 4 on their second fight
i guess fight nights will be all like this in the future
i miss the days of meaningful fights on fight night like silva vs sylvia loiseau vs tanner sanchez vs parisyan and leben vs silva youd think for the tenth one they might have something really good
maybe i just put too much on numbers im expecting ufc 100 to be a stacked card top to bottom

They still have good fighters on this card, Fitch and the main event Sam Stout and Spencer Fisher.

Does anybody know anything about Johnson? He must be impressive to make it into the UFC after only 3 fights.
