After suffering a tibia fracture in training last week, Igor Fernandes has been forced to pull out of his fight with Paul 'Semtex' Daley at BAMMA 16.

He will be replaced by fellow Brazilian, Marinho Moreira da Rocha, confirms BAMMA matchmaker, Jude Samuel.

BAMMA matchmaker, Jude Samuel, commented: "Marinho Moreira da Rocha is also a striker and has a knock out ratio as big as Paul's. Sparks are going to fly."

Marinho Moreira da Rocha flies in from Conceicao Do Araguaia, Para in Brazil fighting out of Coalizao Fight Team. The 31 year old boasts a professional MMA record of 28-6 with a 75% KO/ TKO victory rate. Only 3 of his wins, clocked up over a decade, have come by way of the judges' score cards.
