Mark Hominick vs. Eddie Yagin moves to Atlanta along with UFC 145

So Mark Hominick (20-10 MMA, 3-2 UFC) won't be on Canadian soil for his next fight.

With UFC 145 now set to take place April 21 at Atlanta's Philips Arena, the onetime featherweight challenger's bout with Eddie Yagin (15-5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) has been booked for the event, officials announced today.

Hominick and Yagin were originally slated to fight on March 24 at Bell Centre in Montreal, where Hominick had twice fought under the UFC banner to disappointing results.

It's not yet known whether Hominick vs. Yagin will be part of UFC 145's pay-per-view main-card or the preliminary lineup. The event's main card airs live on pay-per-view while FX and FUEL TV are expected to host preliminaries.

Eight bouts were expected for UFC 145 prior to the move, and it's expected that several of them will accompany the shift.

Sorry, slightly off topic but I still have a few questions about the now-cancelled 'UFC145' in Montreal. Heard the reason Zuffa cancelled was because they didn't have a headlining fight. How much of this has to do with the prolonged recovery of Dominick Cruz? When were he and Faber supposed to fight originally and has that been pushed back?
