Changes in UFC 102 Prelims
There have been a few changes made to the preliminary card of UFC 102. Heavyweight prospect Junior Dos Santos, who was signed to take on UFC veteran Justin McCully, has been taken off the card for an unspecified reason. He has been replaced by Chicago area heavyweight Mike Russow, who will be making his UFC debut.
Russow was originally slated to face American Top Team’s Todd Duffee. Duffee, also making his octagon debut, will now take on Tim Hague. Hague is 1-0 in the UFC, with a submission victory over Pat Barry at UFC 98. Duffee was originally slated to take on Mostapha Al Turk at UFC 99, but was replaced by Mirko Cro Cop on that card.
UFC 102 takes place on August 29th in Portland, Oregon. All the changes are now reflected in the “Upcoming Events” section of the site.

I read a Dos Santos quote where he’s saying that he’ll be facing Mirko at UFC 103
As for UFC 102 I have Mino beating Randy. I think Nog just had a bad night against Mir. I think Age is finally catching up with Couture. This is a fight I wanted to see 5-6 yrs ago
You are correct about Dos Santos. A guy goes to the gym for awhile and a story breaks. Damn.
And you’re also right about Nog/Randy being a helluva fight 5 years ago. Now, it’s a fight to stay relevant in the UFC heavyweight division full of young guys like Cain Velasquez and Dos Santos. Not to mention guys like Carwin and Lesnar who aren’t young, but still at the top of the heap.
