I guess you mean “tapped” as in WWE style? When I read the title I was thinking that you meant the UFC asked Stephens if he would be a replacement and he said no. Either way you got my attention and I came in here. Hello!

I’m excited for this fight. What a great replacement considering he trains with Franca.

Not for nothing but the under card is more interesting then the main card

It is rumored that Stephens is going to try to do both the Lauzon and Efrian fight if he is cleared by the athletic commission.

Editor’s Note: This is not a rumor. As we reported in our story, Stephens is indeed scheduled to fight both Lauzon and Efrain.

Well, Tibau/Clementi would definitely be fireworks, i’m amazed it’s not on the main..

but IMHO,
they should throw Rumble/Luigi on the main card..
I mean, you have a guy who thinks he can strike vs a guy who actually CAN strike… It’s a knockout waiting to happen

The undercard looks better than the main card. I would rather see Miller than Cantone. Miller is crazy on the ground.

the fact Anthony Johnson vs. Luigi Fioravanti isn’t on the main card blows my mind, same with Rich Clementi vs. Gleison Tibau. Honestly, I just dislike Jake Rosholt because I was forced to watch is last WEC fight instead of Razor Rob and Cerrone.

Great short notice replacement. Better match up too. Kudos to Lil Heathen.

nick catone better not be on the main card, id prefer any undercard fight over it. Miller, Tibau, or Johnson, even Pellegrino. … Wow, i just realize this card has pretty awesome undercard fights.

I have a way better idea tell Emerson he’s a loser and have Pellegrino fight Lauzon and then you don’t have to fight any replacement fighter or cancel Efrian’s fight
