| Gabriel Gonzaga Out; Dave Herman In Against Roy Nelson at UFC 146 Gabriel Gonzaga Out; Dave Herman In Against Roy Nelson at UFC 146 | MMAWeekly.com Quote:
Maybe the third time will be the charm for Roy Nelson at UFC 146.
Originally set to face Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva on the card in May, Nelson lost that opponent when main event fighter Alistair Overeem was pulled from the show and reshuffling had to take place.
In his place, Gabriel Gonzaga stepped in to face Nelson. Well now Gonzaga is also out due to injury so in steps former Sengoku fighter Dave Herman who faces Nelson at UFC 146.
UFC officials announced the switch on Tuesday night.
Dave Herman steps into the bout on just over 3 weeks notice and looks to get back on track after suffering a loss to Stefan Struve in his last bout in the Octagon.
Herman won in his initial fight in the UFC defeating Jon Olav Einemo, but came up short in his second bout.
Now Herman steps in to face former Ultimate Fighter Roy Nelson in a bout that could have ‘Fight of the Night’ or ‘Knockout of the Night’ written all over it.

Damn!!!!!
Why in the hell everytime there is a great card in the works something has to ruin it??
Originally it was one of the best UFC cards in months. Overroid completely changed it but it was still decent. Now Gonzaga, one of the fighters I was looking forward to watch fight is out and instead they put Dave Herman.
Where is Mitrione?? Where is Carwin????
What is next? Hunt will get injured too?

I was excited for Gonzaga vs. Big Roy and I am equally excited for Dave Herman vs. Big Roy.
Like Fedorlei said, "Boom goes the dynamite!"
