That's the word according to MMAWeekly:
The revolving door of fighters over the last 24 hours continues to turn as now it appears James Irvin, who was just forced out of his UFC 98 fight due to a knee injury, will get the chance to fight on Aug 29 instead against American Top Team fighter, Wilson Gouveia, at UFC 102.
You'll remember that James Irvin had to pull out of his UFC 98 fight against Drew McFedries because of an injury. However, it didn't take long for the UFC to find him another opponent later in the year. I think Irvin's camp said his injury will be healed in like 5 weeks, which will be ample time to prepare for UFC 102. I like this matchup, and somebody is going to sleep. If Gouveia is smart, he'll take this fight to the ground and take advantage of Irvin's limited ground game.

I think this is Gouveia’s fight to lose; he can do the smart thing and get this fight to the ground, but he just might choose to bang where it’s a 50/50 type of affair IMO.
Bloody hell.
