[edit] Background
On August 15, 2010, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira had to pull out of his bout with Frank Mir due to an injury that will require surgery. It later was reported to be a recurring hip injury.[5] Mirko Filipović replaced Nogueira in the main event.[6][7] The Mir/Nogueira rematch has since been rescheduled for UFC 140 in December 2011.
Aaron Riley was expected to face UFC newcomer Pat Audinwood at this event, but Riley was forced from the card with an injury and was replaced by Thiago Tavares.[8][9]
UFC 119 featured preliminary fights live on Spike TV and ESPN UK. After the event UFC 119 was derided for its decision-heavy card and lacklustre main event, with multiple MMA websites asserting it was the worst UFC PPV in the Zuffa era.
