UFC president Dana White announced late Friday night that Overeem has been pulled from the main event of UFC 146, and Frank Mir will now face Junior Dos Santos for the UFC heavyweight title.

Mir was originally expected to face Cain Velasquez. White did not immediately reveal if Velasquez will receive a new opponent.

Dana announced on twitter that Cain's new opponent will be Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva...leaving Roy Nelson without an opponent. And for what it's worth DW apparently said in the post fight presser that Mark Hunt will remain fighting Stefan Struve.

i like the big foot matchup, was hoping for werdum but this is nice. i think big foot stands a good chance. but kinda want to see cain win so he can rematch jr and then all the critics will be silenced when jr ko's him again. The last guy that beat big nog that jr fought we all know what happened. jr will defend his teachers honor again and dispatch mir with relative ease.

not sure how Mir always get these shots so quick, but it shouldnt be a problem for Jr

I am picking Big Foot Silva (the son of El Gigante) in the upset over Velasquez. El Gigante will go on to face Jr.
