Rashad Evans has been named as the replacement for Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and will face Chuck Liddell in London, England, June 7th at UFC 85. Rua injured his left knee in practice and will need surgury and a lenthy rehab stint before getting back to form.
Evans is coming off of a decision victory at UFC 78 over Michael Bisping and is looking to climb the ladder to an eventual title shot. A win against Chuck Liddell will put him squarely in contention.
