Another UFC 85 Change: Eddie Sanchez replaces Neil Wain
Didn't see it posted and not really "huge" news IMO but it is news none the less...

Another UFC 85 change: Eddie Sanchez replaces Neil Wain
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on May 28, 2008 at 12:42 pm ET
The ever-changing UFC 85 fight card has been tagged with another late change: Eddie Sanchez (8-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) will step in to replace Neil Wain (4-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in a UFC 85 preliminary bout with Antoni Hardonk (6-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC).
The organization updated the event's fight card earlier today.
A broken nose has sidelined Wain, an undefeated English fighter who recently signed a four-fight deal with the UFC.
UFC 85 takes place June 7 at the O2 Arena in London, England. After injuries to multiple former headliners for the pay-per-view event, the UFC ultimately settled on a main event of Matt Hughes vs. Thiago Alves.
Sanchez last competed at UFC 79 and scored a third-round TKO of Soa Palelei. Other than a loss to Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic at UFC 67, he's perfect in professional competition. Other knockout victories have come over Mario Neto (UFC 63) and Colin Robinson (UFC 72). In fact, of his eight career victories, six have come via knockout and two via submission.
Hardonk, meanwhile, made his octagon debut at UFC 65 and scored a first-round knockout of Sherman Pendergarst. After losses to Justin McCully and Frank Mir, he got back in the win column with a 17-second TKO of Robinson at UFC 80 in January.

That's just great. I was looking forward to see Neil Wain. I've heard great things. Now we're stuck with Hardonk vs Sanchez. They should just move this card to tomorrow so they can get it done before someone else gets hurt.
