Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template other UFC Fight Night: Florian vs. Lauzon[1] (also known as UFC Fight Night 13) was a mixed martial arts (MMA) event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on April 2, 2008,[2] at the Broomfield Event Center in Broomfield, Colorado, United States.[2]

Background

The event was a lead-in to the premiere of The Ultimate Fighter 7 on Spike. Instead of scheduling a two-hour program usually set for UFC Fight Night cards, the event was a three-hour broadcast, a change due to a petition from Sherdog Forums and a letter-writing campaign by MMA fans to Spike.[3]

Fight Night 13 was the first UFC event to be held in Colorado since The Ultimate Ultimate was held in Denver on December 16, 1995.[4]

Stephan Bonnar was originally slated to take on Matt Hamill, but was forced to withdraw when he suffered a complete tear of his left collateral knee ligament during training.[5] He was replaced by Tim Boetsch, who took the fight on only ten days notice.

A planned bout between lightweights Spencer Fisher and Marcus Aurélio was cancelled due to a shoulder injury Fisher suffered during training.[6] On March 20, 2008, the UFC website announced that newcomer Ryan Roberts was to make his octagon debut on short notice to face Marcus Aurélio as a replacement for the injured Spencer Fisher.

This event also marked the first bout of a series of fights between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.
