The number of middleweights fighting at UFC 230 has allowed a rather smooth transition to a new co-main event after Luke Rockhold was forced to withdraw from the card.

With Rockhold (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) sidelined due to injury, Ronaldo Souza (25-6 MMA, 8-3 UFC) will be shuffled up to the card to fight former UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman (14-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC). MMAjunkie verified the change with Souza’s management after UFC President Dana White first informed ESPN.com.

“Jacare” was supposed to fight former two-division WSOF champ David Branch in a main card contest, but that fight will no longer take place. A replacement search is underway, with Jared Cannonier being reported as a possible new opponent for Branch.

UFC 230 takes place Nov. 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The main card airs on pay-per-view view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

With the changes, the latest UFC 230 lineup now includes:
