TORONTO — The heavyweight shuffle continues at UFC 146 with Roy (Big Country) Nelson now facing Gabriel (Napao) Gonzaga on May 26 in Las Vegas.
There has been a domino effect to the all-heavyweight main card since Alistair Overeem failed a drug test in March.
Former title-holder Frank Mir has since been elevated to the main event in Overeem’s place to face champion Junior Dos Santos.
The Mir move left former champion Cain Velasquez without an opponent. Former Strikeforce star Antonio (Bigfoot) Silva, originally scheduled to face Nelson, was subsequently shifted to take on Velasquez.
Shane del Rosario, Gonzaga’s original opponent, will now face Stipe Miocic.
The only fight that has gone unchanged on the main card is Mark Hunt versus Stefan Struve.
