The UFC on FOX 19 co-main event pairing a couple of ex-light heavyweight champions against each other has fallen apart.

Former 205-pound titleholder Mauricio Rua (23-10 MMA, 7-8 UFC) is out of the event’s co-feature against fellow ex-champ Rashad Evans (19-4-1 MMA, 14-4-1 UFC) next month. Stepping in for Rua will be another Brazilian, Glover Texiera (24-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC).

UFC officials today announced the change. UFC on FOX 19 takes place April 16 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. The main card will air on FOX following prelims expected for FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Son of a bitch! Was really looking forward to this one. I've been itching to watch Shogun fight.

Poor Rashad..I hope he doesn't get sent to KO land by Glover.

Shogun will always be one of my favorites, but he dodged a bullet here. Shoguns knees are so shot that if you have a decent td with decent top game, your pretty in the clear.


Shoguns had like 3 knee surgeries no? His knees are gone

That just means his knees are 3 times stronger.

In all seriousness you have a point. As much as I love shogun he has struggled with wrestlers in the past and this fight easily could have turned into a boring decision win for suga.

As long as you make sure to put the link at the bottom of the page it helps out a lot. I messed up my first few threads, that's why I know. :D
