A replacement for DC or Jones?

So did DC get injured again or did Jones get into more trouble?

You might be onto something there...

Lets hope not.

I've seen Manuwa mentioned about being a replacement, sounds good to me.

I'd like to see OSP get this spot if he is healthy enough, but two straight short notice fights would be tough.

Also, Gustafson is going to miss an incredible opportunity to get back in the title hunt. He should fill in against Glover

Rumble seems like a cool guy and makes good decisions, I'm hopeful that this is for the better in the long run.
