A fractured hand has forced lightweight Quinn Mulhern (18-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to withdraw from a scheduled matchup with Ryan Couture (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC 164. Stepping in for the injured fighter is "The Ultimate Fighter 15" finalist Al Iaquinta (5-2-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who returns after an injury forced him to withdraw from a matchup with Joe Proctor at UFC 159. The Las Vegas Sun first reported the switch, which then was confirmed by UFC officials.
