In a story confirmed by Sherdog.com late Wednesday evening, Rashad Evans will substitute the injured Mauricio “Shogun” Rua for June 7th’s UFC 85.

Coming off a split decision win against Michael Bisping at UFC 78, Evans will battle a Chuck Liddell who comes back after a grueling and memorable performance against Wanderlei Silva at UFC 79 last December.

Rumors surrounded a possible fight between Evans and Thiago Silva, who pummeled Houston Alexander last November at UFC 78. The match-up was supposedly set to take place on May 24th.
