With the UFC Fight Night 20 following up the UFC 108 event just a week later a change has been made for the January 11, 2010 event in Fairfax, Virginia as middleweight Steve Steinbeiss (4-2) has withdrawn from the card due to injury and stepping in his place will be one-time Octagon vet Jesse Forbes (12-3) who will now face Nick Catone (7-2) on the undercard portion of the upcoming fight card.

According to MMAJunkie.com sources close to the event informed them of the matchup, but bout agreements are yet to be signed at this time.

Jesse Forbes was in the UFC via The Ultimate Fighter as he was a contestant on season 3 of the series and was cut following his debut at the TUF 3 finale in a loss to Matt Hamill, but with more fights under his belt while training out of Arizona Combat Sports and with his teammate Steve Steinbeiss out for this bout, he will get another opportunity to make his presence felt within the organization once again.

Meanwhile after winning in his UFC debut this past February, Nick Catone has lost his last two fights and will desperately need a win in order to retain a spot on the roster.

UFC Fight Night 20 will be held at the Patriot Center from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia and will also be live on Spike.
