I know there is an MMA thread but I thought I would post a new thread cuz its some breaking news type shit.
Breaking News: Evans Tabbed to Fight Liddell
Rashad Evans is expected to fight Chuck Liddell June 7 in London, England, Sherdog.com confirmed Wednesday.
The light heavyweight bout came together just one day after the UFC announced Mauricio Rua pulled out of the fight against Liddell (21-5) because of a ruptured ACL in his left knee.
Following losses to Quinton Jackson and Keith Jardine, Liddell, 38, righted his ship with a decision win over Wanderlei Silva in late December.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old Evans' last two appearances in the Octagon saw him draw Tito Ortiz after three rounds and take a split-decision over Michael Bisping.
Evans, unbeaten in the UFC with an overall record of 11-0-1, was rumored to fight Brazilian Thiago Silva May 24 in Las Vegas as part of the UFC 84 card.
