The UFC 177 changes keep on coming.

UFC newcomer Richard Odoms (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been forced out of his heavyweight fight against Ruslan Magomedov (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) later this month.

UFC officials announced the news on Monday and said no replacement will be sought for Magomedov for the card. Instead, he’ll be booked for a future show.

The UFC does expect a new fight to take its place at UFC 177, though. That bout is expected to be announced soon. But taking the place of Magomedov-Odoms on the main card will be a lightweight bout between Yancy Medeiros (9-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) and Justin Edwards (8-4 MMA, 2-4 UFC). That fight will open the pay-per-view portion of the show, moving up from the prelims.

UFC 177 takes place Aug. 30 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento. The event’s main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Odoms came to the UFC from the Texas-based Legacy FC promotion, where he suffered his lone carer defeat to Jared Rosholt (who also went on to sign with the UFC). However, in his most recent bout, the 39-year-old police officer scored a decision victory over D.J. Linderman to get back in the win column.

Magomedov, a 27-year-old Russian, recently made his UFC debut and extended his winning streak to seven fights with a decision victory over Viktor Pesta at UFC Fight Night 41. He earned a UFC contract after beating the likes of former UFC heavyweight champ Tim Sylvia and Ricco Rodriguez, and Mike Hayes.

Edwards, who joined the UFC after appearing on “The Ultimate Fighter 13,” is likely in a must-win situation following back-to-back losses to Brandon Thatch and Ramsey Nijem and an overall 1-3 skid since his first UFC win. The 31-year-old Ohioan recently dropped from welterweight to lightweight for his bout with Nijem.

Medeiros, a former Strikeforce fighter, is in search of his first UFC win after three bouts. In addition to losses to Rustam Khabilov and Jim Miller, the 26-year-old Hawaiian had knocked out Yves Edwards in October, but the victory was overturned after Medeiros tested positive for marijuana.

With the change, the current UFC 177 lineup includes:

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET)

Champ T.J. Dillashaw vs. Renan Barao – for bantamweight title
