A planned heavyweight encounter for UFC on Fox 4 has been called off, as Rob Broughton and Matt Mitrione will no longer meet on the August 4 card.

Broughton has a personal matter to deal with, according to a report by MMAjunkie.com. No word on if the UFC will seek a replacement for Broughton (15-7-1) to face Mitrione (5-1).

UFC on Fox 4 takes place from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The main event features Mauricio "Shogun" Rua taking on Brandon Vera.
