Mere hours after reports surfaced that the former light heavyweight champion had been forced out of his UFC 114 contest with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (18-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC), MMAjunkie.com(www.mmajunkie.com) has learned that Jason Brilz (18-2-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) has agreed to take the fight on a little less than four-weeks' notice.
Sources close to the promotion indicated that verbal agreements are in place and bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

wonder what's going to take co-main event status now.

All my hopes for Bisping fading into obscurity take another hit as his fight with Jim Miller somehow gets elevated to co-main event status…

LOL
probably true…and he’s coming off the loss to Wandy….they should move Guillard/Tavares to the UFC Prelims portion…move Amir Sadollah/Dong Hyun Kim to the main card….

Yeah, I think that’s what will end up happening. I agree, it’s a downgrade to the card, sad to say.
Not that it has much to do with goings-on here, but I notice on the Figure Four Online website that when they reported this story, they stated that Brilz was 1-1 in the UFC. Um, no! He’s 3-1.
Then again, it was probably Alvarez who posted that, rather than Meltzer. What a dumb mistake to make. What, you couldn’t take a close look at Sherdog or hell, Wikipedia, beforehand?

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but for me this card just went from “Must See” to “Meh”
Inhale deep, like the words of my breath—I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
Agreed. It’s quite a shame too seeing as how this card coincides with the second Fan Expo. I still can’t get over how awful a replacement Brilz is.

Hey, this is the second time I've seen that what is a Jawn?

that's totally different than what it means in my town
here, Jawning is when you have a light-hearted insult battle with someone
“Man, you trying to jawn on me?”

ok
my usage of the word revolves around the urban dictionary meaning….I actually say the word when I talk at times…lol…I type the exact way I talk…except when I’m in professional mode :)

@ R. Downey Sr
If you’re from the DC Metro Area, you’re thinking of “joaning.” Kelvin’s word is pronounced more like “John” with a Southern Drawl…lol
I’m from Georgia, but you’re probably right. At least someone knows what I’m talkin about, haha
Inhale deep, like the words of my breath—I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
Word?
I thought “joaning” was strictly a DC thing. I’ve NEVER heard it said anywhere else. Nice to know we’re not COMPLETELY crazy…;-p

No, you're still completely crazy...
:-P

Can’t argue with you there…although I guess it would seem that our brand of crazy is somewhat infectious.

I’ve been floating around SB Nation for awhile and finally decided to join up. I’ve mostly been posting ramdom “lol’s” across the different sites and, like you, my first name is Kelvin. I’ve REALLY been laying low tryna wait for all this inter-SB Nation-MMA Site beef to cool down. lol

What's beef?
Beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep. Beef is when your moms ain’t safe up in the streets!

I was talking about this with Breen last night
And we agreed that the only two guys available for this fight were Brilz,and Jared Hamman.Hamman just had a really tough fight with Rodney Wallace,so I’m not really suprised to see Brilz here.
FWIW,I still want to see the event.Any MMA fan that doesn’t want to still see it is just fooling themselves.Brilz is better than than 75% of the guys that Rogerio has fought in the last couple years.And it’s still a rock solid card,with one of the best main events in a lllonnnggg time.
