James Irvin Out, Luiz Cane In At UFC 85

An arranged bout between James "The Sandman" Irvin and "Sugar" Rashad Evans has been scratched from UFC 85 due to injury.

Irvin has reportedly suffered a broken foot in training and has been forced off the card. This could come as a serious blow to Evans,who was originally slated to face Chuck Liddell, followed by James Irvin. Now, with less than three weeks to go, Evan's opponent has changed again.

Luiz Cane is now slated to fight Rashad Evans, although he was originally booked to fight Jason Lambert on the same card. Lambert has since been removed from the card altogether.

The UFC has been advertising this card as an event with 13 fights, the largest event in UFC history, but now has lost this by only listing 11 fights on their website. With less than three weeks to go, can the UFC find an extra two fights? This card, entitled Bedlam, has been plagued with issues, losing Chuck Liddell, Mauricio Rua, Jonathan Goulet, Paul Kelly and James Irvin to injury, and Chris Leben due to being arrested.
