Is Branch the original opponent here or is this one another last minute switcheroo?

Strikeforce used to make ton of mismatches and was very exciting with fights always ending with some form of finish. UFC doesn't do that cuz they're into money fights but when opportunity presents, I don't think it's a bad idea.
The fighter that shows up still gets paid and great opportunity to make a name for someone who's taking the fight on short notice.
Yeah, Pride used to book local pro wrestlers again real fighters too, and other curiosities. It's kind interesting that UFC seems to getting away with some of this stuff now too. And there's no denying the fans love a one sided beating.
