The other piece of news out of this situation is that the new fight agreed upon between Harris and Vedepo will no longer make the televised portion of the Spike TV preliminary show, as confirmed by sources close to the negotiations.

I still have my doubts about the Toney fight.

lol everybody called this. The fight card was too good to be true, someone always gets injured and pulls out.

are you seriosly f'ing serious...what the f! i am going to this event..and let me tell you. i am dissapoint. Alessio Sakara is my favroite fighter and is off the card, Paul Harris vs Marquardt was one of the best matchups...off the card! Been a Baroni fan for a long ass time..hes off the card. Was hoping to see Etim win, and he is announced as off the card.. if James Toney doesnt fight, it will just be the icing on top of the cake for pissing me off.
