Filed under: WEC, NewsJason Reinhardt is out of his fight against prized WEC signee Tiequan Zhang and will be replaced by Pablo Garza on Thursday's WEC 51 card.
The WEC made the announcement via Twitter on Monday morning, and MMA Fighting has confirmed with sources close to Reinhardt that a failed eye exam will keep him from making his WEC debut.
Garza (7-0), Reinhardt's replacement, was one of 28 contestants vying for a spot in the house on the current Season 12 of "The Ultimate Fighter." But he lost his preliminary fight to Michael Johnson, who went on to become coach Georges St-Pierre's top pick in the team selection, which aired last week.
