Cody McKenzie (12-0) is coming off another guillotine choke victory when he beat Aaron Wilkinson on the Ultimate Fighter Finale just this past weekend. He will make a quick return to attempt beating a true veteran. McKenzie will step in to face Yves Edwards (39-16-1) who was originally scheduled to face Melvin Guillard. Kenny Florian was forced out of the main event against Evan Dunham and Guillard has moved up to take his spot. Edwards now has a completely different style to train for but should have plenty of time until the Fight for the Troops 2 card on January 22nd.
