Cain Velasquez is out of UFC 196 due to a back injury and Stipe Miocic replaces him to fight Fabricio Werdum for the UFC heavyweight title. Stipe is ranked #2 at heavyweight, right behind Cain. He demanded a title shot after knocking out Arlovski on January 2nd. Werdum has been drug tested by USADA 3 times for his fight with Cain Velasquez on February 6th. UFC 196 also has: Johny Hendricks vs. Stephen Thompson Roy Nelson vs. Jared Rosholt Rafael Cavalcante vs. Ovince Saint Preux Joseph Benavidez vs. Zach Makovsky Josh Burkman vs. K.J. Noons (prelims) Miesha Tate on one time she got knocked out. Anthony Perosh retires at age 43. Conor McGregor was upset his belt was not on the UFC 197 poster and on the table at the press conference. Dana says it's because Conor's belt is not on the line. But when BJ Penn was going for a second belt against GSP, the UFC did include both belts in all posters and press conferences. Jeremy Stephens prediction for the fight is "RDA will own him." Steph
