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.Comment

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.Comment

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.2012: +19.33

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.I heart cockComment

Diego=5'10, 72 inch reachComment

^ 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.2012: +19.33
