An injury has forced Mark Scanlon off the upcoming UFC on Versus 3 card, and Matt Riddle has agreed to step in and face Matt Brown in a welterweight bout on the Louisville, KY card.
The fight was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the match-up on Friday. MMA Scraps Radio first reported the replacement.
Matt Riddle steps into the fight on March 3 coming off a “Fight of the Night” performance against Sean Pierson at UFC 124 in December 2010.
Riddle is a former cast member for the “Ultimate Fighter” and since his time on the reality show, has gone 5-2 in the Octagon.
The bout between Brown and Riddle will remain on the night’s undercard set to go down at the KFC Yum Arena in Louisville, KY.
Falcao out, Natal steps in to fight Sakara.
Motherfucker i wanted to bet on falcao
And I wanted to see how he would do in his second fight, and also I wanted to know if he was going to get crazy.
I heart cock
So how do you guys seeing Sanchez/Kampmann playing out? Lots of people are seeming to think Kampmann will be able to fend off Diego's grappling because he was able to kind of do that against Shields, but Shields was a zombie after round 1. I don't see Diego letting up, or getting tired like Shields. I can see him grinding Kampmann out to a decision. I actually think the good play on this fight is the decision prop.
I think it will be an all over the place war. Diego's striking is not nearly as shitty as Shields'... I wouldn't be totally shcoked if Diego got some licks in. I also think the fact that Kampmann will have to respect Diego's strikes will help set up teh takedowns. But I would be surprised to see Kampmann putting Diego down either. Close fight, slight edge to Kampmann. I agree, it will go to a decision. Diego really doesn't have that much finishing ability. He doesn't hit real hard, and he doesn't have a lot of subs.
I think Kampmann wins. Almost matching up with Shields in the grappling department is far from his only accomplishment. His victory over Thiago was more decisive than Sanchez's, I think, and he also subbed Volkmann.
Kampmann is bigger, taller, and longer than Sanchez, who is a pretty small welterweight. Kampmann's striking is also crisper. And Sanchez showed that he has a weakness for taller opponents who can hit him in the Hathaway fight.

Kampmann=6'0, 72 inch reachOriginally Posted by SPX
Diego=5'10, 72 inch reach
^ Just FYI, they way they measure reach is pretty stupid and renders it basically meaningless. BUt Diego does look like he has some monkey arms.
How do they do it?
I heart cock
I believe they measure wingspan, which takes shoulder width into account.
Triple-six killers in this motherfucker runnin shit
Indeed.
Well that's kind of retarded.
I heart cock
Yeah fingertip to fingertip is how they measure it... so if you have a wide torso and t-rex arms you can still have a pretty impressive reach. Or if you have freakishly long fingers it can add to your reach. Although I suppose if you have a wide torso, your head is still farther away that the other guy's head. But it seems to make a lot more sense to actually measure the arms, like in boxing.
Alexandre ‘Cacareco’ Ferreira is out of his March 3rd fight with Rousimar Palhares according to Fighters Only:
According to a Fighters Only source, Ferreira has told the UFC he has lost friends and family in the floods affecting Brazil currently and is in "no condition to train or fight". No news yet on who, if anyone, will step in to face Palhares at UFC Live on Versus 3.
He'll probably be cut.
Triple-six killers in this motherfucker runnin shit
I hope they find Palhares a replacement...
Maia would be awesome, but I doubt they make this. So bring on Grove
