MILWAUKEE – The lineup has been shifted at UFC on FOX 31 in the wake of a fight scratch on the preliminary card.

After a women’s flyweight fight between Jessica-Rose Clark (9-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Andrea Lee (9-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was canceled today when Clark had weight-cutting issues and was ruled out by UFC doctors, a middleweight bout has moved up a few spots on the card.

Zak Cummings (21-6 MMA, 6-3 UFC) and Trevor Smith (15-8 MMA, 5-5 UFC) now will fight on the FS1-broadcast prelims instead of on UFC Fight Pass, a UFC official today told MMAjunkie.

UFC on FOX 31 takes place Saturday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Cummings returns to action for the first time since a split-decision loss to Michel Prazeres in May. Prior to the setback, he had earned back-to-back submission wins over Nathan Coy and Alexander Yakovlev.

Smith also looks to rebound from a May decision loss. He dropped a unanimous call in a UFC Fight Night 130 meeting with Elias Theodorou. “Hot Sauce” fought just once in 2017 and picked up a decision win over Chris Camozzi.

The amended UFC on FOX 31 lineup includes:

MAIN CARD (FOX, 8 p.m. ET)

  • Kevin Lee vs. Al Iaquinta
  • Edson Barboza vs. Dan Hooker
  • Rob Font vs. Sergio Pettis
  • Jim Miller vs. Charles Oliveira

PRELIMINARY CARD (FS1, 5 p.m. ET)

  • Dwight Grant vs. Zak Ottow
  • Bobby Green vs. Drakkar Klose
  • Jared Gordon vs. Joaquim Silva
  • Jack Hermansson vs. Gerald Meerschaert
  • Zak Cummings vs. Trevor Smith
  • Jordan Griffin vs. Dan Ige

PRELIMINARY CARD (FS1, 4 p.m. ET)

  • Adam Milstead vs. Mike Rodriguez
  • Juan Adams vs. Chris De La Rocha
