Nice move again by the UFC. Very nice replacement. I am expecting for a good match-up with these two.
damn injuries....
brian ebersole should be main card xD
they should have put phan vs brown on spike. No1 wants to see mendes lay on Yahya for 15 minutes
Or did the events before never go down like this? I can't recall injurys interfering with cards but I was a young fan so who knows. But it seems these cards are constently changing nowadays the posters should just have two question marks and say well see who's available !
Hammil all the way babay!
