Citing personal issues, Bobby Green (23-7 MMA, 4-2 UFC) has withdrawn from next month’s UFC Fight Night 96 event.

MMAjunkie today confirmed the move with UFC officials. The promotion now seeks a lightweight to face Josh Burkman (28-13 MMA, 6-8 UFC).

UFC Fight Night 96 takes place Oct. 1 at Moda Center in Portland, Ore. While the bout order has yet to be confirmed, the evening’s main card airs on FS1. Prelims are expected to air on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Burkman hopes to fight for the third time as a lightweight. “The People’s Warrior” debuted in the division with a decision win over K.J. Noons this past February but then lost to Paul Felder in May. Now 1-3 in his second UFC run, Burkman likely finds himself in a must-win situation.

Green’s withdrawal is the second of the day from the UFC Fight Night 96 card. MMAjunkie also reported that Brian Ortega had to withdraw from a planned bout with Hacran Dias.

With the changes to the card, UFC Fight Night 96 now includes:

John Lineker vs. John Dodson

Will Brooks vs. Alex Oliveira

Hacran Dias vs. opponent TBA

Sergio Pettis vs. Louis Smolka

Shamil Abdurakhimov vs. Walt Harris

Nate Marquardt vs. Tamdan McCrory

Josh Burkman vs. opponent TBA

Kelly Faszholz vs. Ketlen Vieira

Joachim Christensen vs. Luis Henrique da Silva
