Dan Hardy injured, Jordan Mein to face Matt Brown at UFC on Fox 7
Dan Hardy, who was set to face Matt Brown at UFC on Fox 7, has been withdrawn form the card due to an injury sustained in training. The Brit is coming off a two fight win streak, most recently defeating Amir Sadollah in September of 2012.
His replacement will be none other than highly touted knockout artist Jordan Mein. Mein is fresh off his first round destruction of Dan Miller at UFC 158 and will have limited time to train for his next bout against Brown. Mein is only 23 and holds a 27-8 record, so I suspect he has probably had quicker turn-arounds between fights before now.
Coming off his huge win at #UFC158, our own Jordan @fightingmeins is in for the injured Dan Hardy and will fight Matt Brown at @ufconfox 7

Matt Brown is also well known for his technical striking and knockout power. We most recently saw ‘The Immortal’ in action when he knocked Mike Swick out in December of last year.
So with Hardy out and Mein in, who have you got between Mein and Brown? I have a feeling that this fight will end with someone being separated from their consciousness. Brown has more precise, technical striking, while Mein seems to have the more destructive striking skill set.
I personally expected Dan Miller to keep Mein at bay during their recent bout. Do you think Brown will be able to use his range to hold back the young Canadian, or will it be lights out for ‘The Immortal’?
