Yoshihiro Akiyama Out Of UFC 128, Dan Miller In

According to UFC.com:

UFC President Dana White announced today another change to next weekend’s main card. “Yoshihiro Akiyama will not be able to participate at UFC 128 due to the tragedy in Japan,” said White.

“New Jersey native Dan Miller proves once again that he will fight anyone, anywhere, any time by agreeing to step up from the prelims to face Nate Marquardt,” added White. “Marquardt has long been a top ten ranked middleweight and Miller jumped at the opportunity to face him.”
