by Paulo Silva on May 20, 2008

The UFC was forced to scrap the Rashad Evans-James Irvin bout from UFC 85 after Irvin broke his foot during training.

Evans, who was originally set to face Chuck Liddell at the event before Liddell was forced to drop due to injury, has been dropped from the card according to sources close to the UFC.
