1. Rich Franklin is still without an opponent. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira pulled out with an injury yesterday, adding to an already-extensive list visiting the infirmary. The UFC is reportedly looking for a replacement, but that may prove impossible given the state of the light heavyweight division. The easiest move would be to bump Alexander Gustafsson or Matt Hamill into Nogueira's spot.
2. Five prelim fights are scheduled for Facebook. Including:
Dennis Hallman vs. Brian Ebersole
Ivan Menjivar vs. Nick Pace
Johny Hendricks vs. Mike Pierce
Mike Brown vs. Nam Phan
Rafael Natal vs. Constantinos Philippou
3. One fight is scheduled for Spike TV: Chad Mendes vs. Rani Yahya. The UFC will need to call up one of the fights from Facebook, unless they're content with showing 45 minutes of commercials (and, hey, knowing Spike TV, that may be the plan).
Dana White would be wise to lock all these guys in padded rooms once this card is finalized.
