Default Wanderlei has a new opponent and that man is.....

Rich 'Ace' Franklin

This sucks...I was looking forward to seeing him fight in Vegas against Le. I was afraid this might happen. But good for Rich for stepping up.

It seems so long since we've seen Rich. I'll be rooting for him!

Props to Rich for stepping up...the Brazil card was on par to be one of the best ever at one point, and now it's been destroyed.

I was wondering if they'd snag him on this. Their first fight was pretty close, this one should be fun!

Dana Tweeted the question a few days ago who should be his replacement. Most people from what I saw replied with Rich Franklin, including myself.

Would be pretty cool if that's how it was actually chosen.

Maybe it just wasn't meant to be...wait...I know what you're really thinking...it's Chael's fault!
