UFC President Dana White needs to swallow his pride

First, Shogun Rua had to pull out of his fight with Chuck Liddell with an injury. Dana White was able to get Rashad Evans to fill in for Rua. Now, Liddell has been forced to withdraw due to an injury as well. White got James Irvin to fill in for Liddell. Talk about going from the penthouse to the outhouse. White went from having one of the most anticipated fights in UFC history to a fight that even hardcore fans don't care much about. Even the rumored addition of Chris Leben versus Michael Bisping won't be able to salvage a mediocre pay-per-view.

James Irvin is most remembered for falling out of a Strikeforce cage in the first minute of his fight against Bobby Southworth....and he's replacing Chuck Liddell... I agree, Penthouse to Outhouse indeed.

i seriously think liddell may b a little scared 2 lose 2 rashad he has alrwady embarrssed himself in a loss toward jardine also he just ignored kimbos called out his exscuse was kimbo hasnt tasted a loss and doesnt have a clue honestly liddell may b 1 of the most overated figthers in the ufc rite now
