According to Matt Hughes’ official website, the new main event for UFC 85 will feature Matt Hughes vs Thiago Alves.

June 7th, in England, I fight Thiago Alves. The fight is confirmed, it will be the main event for the card. Dana just called me with the news. Chuck got hurt and couldn’t fight, so he needed a replacement and called me and I said yes. More news as I get it. No matter what happens in this fight, I’ve got Serra next. -matt

When Chuck Liddell pulled out of the main event earlier this week due to a leg injury, UFC 85 quickly took a turn for the worse. For a brief moment, the event was even rumored to be switching to SpikeTV.

Now with a Hughes-Alves matchup as the main event, it appears the card will remain on PPV (although this still is not a solid card in my mind).

  1. Move it to Spike TV…please…

    Knowing me I’ll break down and decide to buy it at the last moment, but I’ll be kicking myself afterwards.
