UFC 85: Chuck Liddell’s Replacement
The UFC has had to start modifying the card for UFC 85 after Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell’s recent hamstring injury.
No announcements on UFC’s part have been made yet but MMAmania claim they have sources to what the fights are going to be.
MMAmania announced that Chuck Liddell will be replaced by James Irvin in the fight against Rashad Evans. It has also been mentioned that a fight between middleweights Michael Bisping and Chris Leben could now also be taking place at the 02 arena in London.
Stay tuned for updates on this fightcard!
Berry and Esch Likely for Cage Rage
Robert Berry coming out of the knockout he got on Ken Shamrock will likely fight the 400 pound Eric Esch at Cage Rage 27 in July.
Berry KO’d Ken Shamrock last month at Cage Rage 25 last month. The win brought a close to his two fight losing streak and was noted ash his biggest career win to date.
Meanwhile Esch lost his latest fight against Pat Smith at the Yamma Pit Fighting debut putting him on a losing streak of three. If the fight is to go on this would be his 4th fight at Cage Rage and I would expect to see him KO’d once more.
