Stipe out vs Rothwell.

[ECC170]

An undisclosed injury has scratched UFC heavyweight Stipe Miocic from next week’s UFC Fight Night 76 co-headliner, and a replacement search is underway.

Miocic’s manager, Greg Kalikas, told MMAjunkie via text that the fighter suffered an injury, though one that was “not serious, just bad timing.” He added Miocic, who canceled an interview on today’s episode of MMAjunkie Radio, should be able to compete before the end of the year.

Paging Andre Arlovski.... He's without a dance partner now, and the rematch factor sells.... Be the hero Andre, especially after that last showing

Nah man he needs to sit back and wait for that title shot for a bit.

Wonder what the injury is?

I just seen this also and seen that Tyrone Spong, Matt Mitrione, Derek Brunson and Derick Lewis have all now stated they all are free and ready to compete against Ben Rothwell on October 24th!!!

Let's see who we get. ....I'm hoping for Tyrone Spong .....pretty please

Hope Lewis gets it, personally. Someone WILL get violently slept.

 

[SongExotic2]

Sprong ftw

Brunson has brain damage if he said he wanted that mauling..

Did you see Lewis' last fight? Rothwell can sub him in 1 round easy. That fight is a squash match unless they both stand and trade.

Would they even sanction the Spong fight? Spong is only 2-0 in MMA with a lot of KB experience. He also hasn't fought since 2013

They sanction toney vs multiple champ couture

I think Ben would stand and bang with him, to prove a point.

Not sure why mitrione put his foot in the door for this one.. We all remember when big Ben almost popped his head off with that choke

Last fight on his contract

 

[SongExotic2]

Meathead don't give a fuck, good chance for some revenge

 

[Sweets]

It would be good to see him and Mitrione go at it again as long as Mat saves the brain farts.

 

[MMA.X]

The way Matt tapped let me know that choke was something serious . as soon as he shot in for that takedown he was like
If he doesn't do charge in like that he might be able to pull it off. I agree with @I Wild Each It said I'd like to see him face Derek lewis

True I forgot about that circus.

Don't know if this was included on mma's cringiest moments, but I seem to remember randy celebrating in a cringeworthy way

They would likely sanction it because of his kickboxing experience. He knows what he is getting into.

 

[MMA.X]

Isn't mitrione booked to fight Travis brown anyways?

It's just been announced Andre Arlovski is replacing Jessica Eye as the 'Guest Fighter' for the fan week event since she has just pulled out now Stipe is injured!
