An injury has forced former ‘Ultimate Fighter’ season 1 competitor Stephan Bonnar out of the upcoming UFC on Versus 5 show in Milwaukee, and newcomer Ronny Markes has stepped into his spot.

The UFC made the announcement about the switch late Friday night.

Ronny Marki ‘Ronny Markes’ Sales da Silva is a Brazilian fighter with an 11-1 record, who most recently defeated former WEC champion Paulo Filho in late April by unanimous decision.

Markes has fought for the majority of his career in Brazil, and will make his U.S. debut against heavy handed fighter Karlos Vemola at the show taking place at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisc.

The light heavyweight contest will be part of the UFC on Versus 5 card, and right now is set to be on the preliminary portion of the card headlined by welterweights Chris Lytle and Dan Hardy squaring off.

Kinda bummed about this. Bonnar puts on a good show and has looked very strong vs that Croatian dude and the Polish Experiment.

Yeah, Bonnar is always in exciting fights.

It's time they gave Bonnar a name.

That sucks! I love Bonnar, he always brings it.

All mad about Bonnar but this guy is probably better....he already has a better win on his record than Bonnar has after all these years.

in short, Bonnar is the shits.

could they be setting up bonnar vs kos after all for late fall

I didn't even think of that! I would surely make that the under ME. Tack it on with a good ME and you fill in the rest with whatever. I would pay for that.
