Lyoto Machida was removed from UFC: Fight For The Troops 3 to KO Mark Munoz last night in Manchester, England. Replacing Machida is fellow Brazilian middleweight Rafael Natal, who faces U.S Army member Tim Kennedy in the main event of the evening. The three-hour broadcast also doubles as a fundraiser for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which supports the men and women serving our country in the United States Armed Forces.
Liz Carmouche battles Alexis Davis in the co-main event, while my personal favorite fight on the main card is between lightweights Jorge Masvidal and Rustam Khabilov. Keep an eye out for the preliminary card, as James Krause fights Bobby Green and Dennis Bermudez meets Steven Siler.
