There have been several revisions to the upcoming UFC Fight Night 139 card.

The promotion revealed the updates to The Denver Post on Tuesday, including a newly-added bantamweight matchup pitting Mark De La Rosa against Jordan Espinosa. UFC Fight Night 139 takes place at the Pepsi Center in Denver on Nov. 10 and is headlined by a featherweight showdown between Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung.

The other changes to UFC Fight Night 139 came as a result of injuries or withdrawals. Hannah Cifers will replace Maia Stevenson and face Maycee Barber in a women’s strawweight bout, while Thiago Moises will step in for Chris Gruetzemacher and meet Beneil Dariush at lightweight.

Meanwhile, injuries have resulted in the cancellations of two other bouts: Alonzo Menifeld vs. Saparbek Safarov and Ricky Simon vs. Ricardo Ramos.

De La Rosa is coming off his first Octagon triumph, a second-round submission of Elias Garcia at UFC Fight Night 133 on July 14. Espinosa, meanwhile, enters his promotional debut on a four-fight winning streak, including a pair of victories on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.

Cifers will make her first UFC foray on a five-bout winning streak and is 8-2 as a professional overall. The unbeaten, 20-year-old Barber scored a UFC deal with a third-round stoppage of Jamie Colleen on the Contender Series in June.

A former Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion, Moises punched his ticket to the Octagon with a first-round stoppage of Gleidson Moraes Cutis on the Brazilian version of the Contender Series. Dariush will look to halt a three-bout winless skid that includes losses to Alexander Hernandez and Edson Barboza and a draw against Evan Dunham.
