Wednesday, February 04, 2009 - by Tom Hamlin - MMAWeekly.com
An undisclosed cut injury has forced Justin McCully from his pending bout with Neil Grove at UFC 95 in London.
Stepping in for McCully will be former International Fight League regular Mike Ciesnolevicz, who makes his Octagon debut with the replacement.
Sources close to Ceiesnolevicz and McCully confirmed the change to the Feb. 21 card on Tuesday evening.
Ciesnolevicz will step up a weight class to meet Grove, having fought the bulk of his career at light heavyweight. A product of Miletich Fighting Systems in Bettandof, Ia., Ciesnolevicz carries a professional record of 16-3 in a career spanning over five years. Since emerging from the defunct IFL, he has racked up three straight wins in the last half of 2008.
