"My 2 Cents"
This card is going to be great if all the fights come to fruition. All we are waiting on now is for Arlovski Vs Rothwell to become official or debunked. It is said that the UFC has the right to match any offer from rival promotions to Arlovski.
James "The Sandman" Irvin (14-4) who originally replaced Chuck Liddell (21-5) as (11-0-1)Rashad Evans (Who stepped in for Mauricio "Shogun" Rua with a injured knee), is now being replaced by Luis arthur Cane (7-1) at UFC 85: Bedlam. Irvin broke his foot according to several sources. Irvin who was coming off of a 8 second KO (by Superman punch) at Ultimate fight night 13 over Houston Alexander (8-3). The KO was the fastest ever in the UFC. Irvin also recently beat Cane at UFC 79: Nemesis by DQ, after an illegal knee to the face.
"My 2 Cents"
With this card 2 weeks away I can see this card might not be done with replacement fights. The last EliteXC and Strike Force co- promoted event, Shamrock Vs Li had several changes with in 48 hours of its broadcast.
