Injured Ludwig out at UFC Fight Night 24, Wilks now faces Sadollah
By John Morgan [kingofabuelos]

An injured sternum has forced slugger Duane "Bang" Ludwig out of a planned UFC Fight Night 24 welterweight bout with "The Ultimate Fighter 7" winner Amir Sadollah (4-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC).

In his place steps "The Ultimate Fighter 9" champ James Wilks (7-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC).

UFC executives today announced the change in plans.

"James Wilks has verbally agreed to step up against Amir Sadollah for UFC Fight Night (on) March 26," White stated in the official notice. "'TUF 7' winner vs. 'TUF 9' winner. Should be fun."

UFC Fight Night 24 takes place March 26 at KeyArena in Seattle and airs live on Spike TV. A light-heavyweight tilt between Phil Davis and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira headlines the card.

Sadollah looks to build on a unanimous-decision win over Peter Sobotta at UFC 122. The victory allowed him to rebound from a decision loss to Dong Hyun Kim in May. Sadollah, who previously competed at middleweight, owns previous UFC wins over C.B. Dollaway, Phil Baroni and Brad Blackburn. The other loss came to Johnny Hendricks during his second pro bout in 2009.

Meanwhile, Wilks looks to rebound from a UFC 120 loss to Claude Patrick this past October. Wilks has alternated results in four octagon appearances. The Brit earned the "TUF 9" title with an impressive submission win over DaMarques Johnson. He's since sandwiched a win over Peter Sobotta between losses to Patrick and Matt Brown.
