UFC.com announced Mauricio "Shogun" Rua reinjured the same knee he had surgery on following his fight with Forrest Griffin in September 2007 and will have to withdraw from his bout with Chuck Liddell which was going to headline UFC 85 on 6/7/08 in London, England. Many fans were wondering why the UFC announced Chuck Liddell was fighting on the 6/7 card but never mentioned Shogun's name during last Saturday's UFC 82 event. Now we know why.



The question is which Light Heavyweight will replace Shogun to fight Chuck Liddell on 6/7?

- Keith Jardien vs. W Silva and, Tito Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida are official for UFC 84 on 5/24.

- Forrest Griffin's dance card has Rampage's name all over it for 7/5/08.

- Stephan Bonnar just had surgery on his knee.

-James Irving vs. Houston Alexander and, Matt Hamill vs. Tim Boetsch are signed for the 4/2/08 Fight Night event.

-Even though these two fights are not official, Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva and Kazuhiro Nakamura vs. Sokourdjou are heavily rumored to take place at UFC 84 on 5/24. Being that the UFC never officially announced either fight they could scrap one of the fights and have someone step in.

It will be interesting to see what the UFC dose for this fight.
