A featherweight bout for UFC 131 between Rani Yahya and Dustin Poirier has fallen through due to an undisclosed injury forcing Yahya off the card. Now, Jason Young will make his UFC debut against Poirier.

UFC 131 takes place June 11 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C.

Young made his professional debut in 2006 and built an 8-3 record on the European circuit. He recently won back-to-back fights over Sergej Grecicho and Jorge Britto.

Poirier upset the apple cart for Josh Grispi in his UFC and featherweight debut. Grispi was set to face off against Jose Aldo for the featherweight title, but Poirier came in as an injury replacement and scored the upset. Poirier went 1-1 in the WEC with a victory over Zach Micklewright before Zuffa combined their two promotions.

At UFC 131, former champion Brock Lesnar will return against Junior dos Santos in a heavyweight number-one contenders fight. The two recently coached against each other on “The Ultimate Fighter,â€￾ which is currently airing on Spike TV.
