Sapp out, Tank in

[Doublejab]

It says on the Sherdog website that Bob Sapp has pulled out of his fight with Gary Turner because of 'family' problems. Tank Abbot has 'got off his bar stool and agreed to fight' (Cage Rage's words, how apt!).

Am I alone in thinking its going to be a much shorter fight now?

[Apotheosis]

Much less anticipated fight, I think Tank will be picked apart rather quickly

Big blow to Cage Rage as they are already competing with the UFC on the same night

Yep, downer for the CR guys, but still a great chance for Gary Turner to debut in the cage, and I'm sure Tank will come out swinging for the fences

My first thought is DAMN that's a big card! I've always said that if you go to a Cage Rage show, you get your money's worth but I don't think I've been to one with thirteen fights on the card. My second thought is that the Rua/ Reid fight sounds weird as hell and I want to see what happened to cause a fight-ending cut on the shin in less than 30 seconds
