According to MMA Weekly:

Just days after reports surfaced that Thiago Silva was set to be pulled from his bout against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and former champion Rashad Evans was slated to take the spot, the fight has changed again.


MMAWeekly.com has confirmed with sources close to the negotiations that
former "Ultimate Fighter" competitor Matt Hamill has been contacted and
agreed to face Jackson at the UFC 130 card in May.

SHOCKER!

Aw WTF!

I hate it personally. I loved the Davis vs Hamill matchup and both Rampage vs Thiago/Evans. Bummer.

So what happens To Davis now

exactly. That fight was awesome. Rampage vs Thiago was awesome and Rampage vs Rashad 2 would have been awesome. This is a real downer.

Might not get to see too many more vintage Page KOs though which is what I'm fully expecting here. That's about the only positive

I agree bobbit, I really want to see rampage KO someone

Yeah I agree, I think Rampage will be able to keep it standing and score a brutal KO. Kind of feel sorry for Hamill.

Just read on BE that Rashad is going to wait until after Shogun-Jones to decide what he will do next. I guess you can't blame him, he waited this long for a title shot. The fight is next month anyways. Still, would have been cool to see Rampage vs Evans 2.

"Rashad Evans
had been mentioned as a replacement for Silva, but one source told
Heavy that Evans was never seriously considered for the fight and that
he’ll wait to see who wins between Jon Jones and Shogun Rua before deciding his next move."

He shouldn't even get a title shot anymore if Shogun wins. Tell him to get his ass back in the cage

Tell him the path to the title goes through Jones no matter who is champion.

Not necessarily. More in favor of pro fighters being professionals with the championship title being their endgame.

Why would he want to wait to see what happens between Shogun and Bones?? He already knows Bones "we smash him". So what does he have to wait for lol.

WTF IS THIS SHIT? SMELLS LIKE POOPY!

Why is thiago out exactly?


And is Page Hamill the main event?

Thiagos test results didnt come back yet, so they have to take him off the card

I think Frankie vs Gray 3 is the main event.

you are correct

Main Card
Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar (c) vs. Gray Maynard[1]
Heavyweight bout: Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson[1]
Middleweight bout: Wanderlei Silva vs. Brian Stann[1]
Welterweight bout: Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story[1]
[edit]Preliminary Card
Heavyweight bout: Stefan Struve vs. Travis Browne[1

still a good card
