John Hathaway made a fast rise in the UFC through 2009 and 2010, winning four straight fights and capping the streak off with an upset over Diego Sanchez. However, Hathaway then dropped a decision to Mike Pyle and has appeared just once in 2011.
He was scheduled to face Matt Brown at UFC 138 in London next month, but now Brown says Hathaway is out of their fight with an injury. Brown took to Twitter to reveal Hathaway's removal, and says he is awaiting a replacement opponent.
UPDATE: The UFC has now officially announced Hathaway's injury, and in his place steps TUF 11 vet Seth Baczynski, fresh off a UFC Fight Night 25 victory over Clay Harvison. However, the fight has been moved from the UFC 138 cardin London to the UFC 139 card on Nov. 19 in San Jose, Calif.
