George Sotiropoulos has been handed a new opponent at UFC 132 after Evan Dunham had to pull out due to injury.

Dunham wrote on his personal Twitter account: "Really frustrated that I had to pull out. I was really looking forward to this fight. I will be back in there as soon as I am heeled up."

Sotiropoulos is in need of a bounce-back victory following his decision defeat to Dennis Siver, and his lightweight collision with Dunham was one of the most anticipated on the July 2 card.

Dunham himself is in desperate need of a win following losses to Sean Sherk and Melvin Guillard. Prior to those setbacks, the youngster had seen off Efrain Escudero and Tyson Griffin.

Details of Dunham's injury are yet to emerge, but Sotiropoulos will now fight jiu-jitsu specialist Dos Anjos, who holds a submission victory over England's Terry Etim on his career record.

UFC 132 is headlined by Dominick Cruz's bantamweight title defence against Urijah Faber.
