Just a few days ago, Chuck Liddell was opponent-less as Mauricio "Shogun" Rua had to withdraw from their scheduled bout at UFC's June event in London, England, due to an ACL tear. Friday morning, the former UFC Light Heavy Champ learned who his new cagemate would be.

Former The Ultimate Fighter winner Rashad Evans will now step in to face Liddell in front of the Englaish fans. Evans recently defeated fellow TUF'er Mike Bisping at UFC 78 and was scheduled to take on Thiago Silva at UFC 84 in May. The Iceman last defeated Wanderlei Silva at December's Nemesis event in a unanimous decision.
