Ken Stone out of UFC on FX 1 main-card bout due to injury

Just days after he was announced as part of this month's UFC on FX 1 event, Ken Stone has been forced off the card with an undisclosed injury.

UFC officials today announced a search is underway for a replacement for Stone (10-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC), who was slated to fight bantamweight Mike Easton (11-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC).

It was the final fight added to the night's FX-televised main card.

UFC on FX 1 takes place Jan. 20 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. In addition to the main card, prelims are expected to air on FUEL TV.

Stone was set to return to the cage after scoring a technical-submission win over Donny Walker at this past September's UFC Fight Night 25 event. The much-needed victory snapped a two-fight losing streak for Stone, who had dealt with back-to-back knockout losses to Scott Jorgensen and Eddie Wineland (at WEC 53 and the TUF 13 Finale, respectively).
