| Rich Attonito Replaces Injured Pascal Krauss, Meets Gunnar Nelson at UFC on FUEL TV 5 Rich Attonito Replaces Injured Pascal Krauss, Meets Gunnar Nelson at UFC on FUEL TV 5 Quote:
“The Ultimate Fighter” Season 11 cast member Rich Attonito will replace injured German boxer Pascal Krauss as an opponent for Gunnar Nelson at UFC on Fuel TV 5. Dean Nelson, Gunnar Nelson’s father and head of ADCC Iceland, was first to announce the news on Twitter.
Krauss received a strong knee strike to the ribcage while sparring on Saturday morning and had to be rushed to the hospital after complaining of chest pain. Doctors at Freiburg University Hospital diagnosed severely bruised ribs, an inflamed chest muscle and a dislocated vertebra, rendering the 25-year-old “Panzer” unable to compete on Sept. 29 in Nottingham, England.
“I can’t laugh, can’t cough, can’t talk loudly or sleep without waking up at least 10 times at night,” Krauss told Sherdog.com. “I tried getting over the pain using medication, but it was just too strong. I am devastated as it’s already the second time I had to cancel a fight due to injury. I apologize to Gunnar and his camp, I would have loved nothing more than being able to compete with him. I was looking forward to this fight so much.”

I like Attonito but he's going to be Gunnar's first UFC victim.

Johnson is pretty cagey and seems like a risky fight for Gunnar to take on short notice..I hope this doesn't turn out to be another shitty octagon debut for a highly touted prospect/newcomer.
Wasn't it not very long ago that Johnson was KTFO by Swick? I figured he shouldn't be able to fight yet?

I keep thinking of Wonderboy vs Matt Brown for some reason with Johnson playing the role of Brown..

Johnson is, after Attonito didn't think he could make weight in time.
