phil davis pulled out of the evans fight due to injury!!
What does rashad evans have to do to get a fight! Heard tito ortiz and machida have been asked to fill in but both declined....cant see who else would take it at short notice to make it a decent main event???

Tito has accepted the fight now.
Dont think he has a chance though to be honest. Im sure he has secured a new 3 fight deal after his win against Bader and wont care less if Rashad beats him up in all honesty as he will be picking up a nice pay day for helping the UFC out of a hole on such short notice.

Hopefully hes got some hunger back after the Bader fight and has a good pop at Evans but it must be hard for any fighter to come in so soon after an emotional win like tito has just had...He will have been winding down and basking in the glory of his win and all of a sudden he has to find the mentality to focus on this fight!! I think hell struggle mentally to get up for this and expect a Rashad win aswell!
Also lil Nogs pulled out injured from his fight with Franklin,leaving him being cut from the card as there is no one to replace him!

UFC 138 has been confirmed for 5th November in LG Arena in Birmingham with a main event of Chris Leben v Mark Munoz.
Again a bit of an underwhelming main event for a UK card. Granted, it is a legit Middleweight number 1 contenders fight, but there's no way they'd roll out that main event on a US card.

Was hoping for Bisping vs Miller to come in somewhere, but it would have to headline above Leben and no way that would happen with them just announcing Leben headlining.
Id like to see Hardy on the card too please and then I'll buy some tickets.

Quite excited for this none-of-the-less, when tickets going on sale?

It was supposed to be a fight night according to one of the mma sites and theyve bumped it up to ufc 138....the line ups looking like a fight night card and the LG only holds around 8k (i think)
Sounds like theyve called it '138' to make it look like a significant card if you ask me.....as usual England have been thrown the scraps..
Leben v Munoz should be decent but as a co main would have suited me...also thiago Alves on the card against some swede i havent heard of.
