On August 15, 2010, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira had to pull out of his bout with Frank Mir due to an injury that will require surgery. It later was reported to be a recurring hip injury. Mirko Filipović has been lined up to replace Nogueira in the main event. Mirko has stated he does not expect to be 100% because of joining the card on late notice, but he did not want to let down his fans or UFC management.
Aaron Riley was expected to face UFC newcomer Pat Audinwood at this event, but Riley was forced from the card with an injury and was replaced by Thiago Tavares.
This event will feature the UFC debut of PRIDE and K-1 veteran, Mark Hunt who holds wins over MMA legends Mirko Filipović and Wanderlei Silva.
UFC 119 will feature preliminary fights live on Spike TV.
