straight from the mouth of Evan Tanner
« on: March 25, 2006, 02:51:07 PM »
he posted this in a bulletin on myspace:

Just spoke with Joe Silva UFC matchmaker. IT'S ON FOR UFC 59

Jeremy Horn is definitely out. I got the call from the UFC on Friday morning.

I just got off of the phone with Joe Silva, the UFC matchmaker. He said he was up until four in the morning, but he finally found someone to fight me at UFC 59. Awesome! That's great news to me. I have been training like a madman and I can't afford to sit out another show.

I was asked not to name any names yet. It is the weekend, and everyone is out of the UFC office. Contracts can't be signed until early next week. I will say this: It is not Ivan Salaverry.

Just wanted to let everyone know that everything is back on track.

Thanks everybody for the support.

See you in April.

Evan

It's former WEC 205lb champ Justin Levens who fights out of Ruas Vale Tudo in Cali.
Predictions
 40/61

would Levens be able to cut down to 185 in such a short notice and not loose any kind of performance, etc???

He's not a very big 205lb guy so im sure he could lose the water weight relatively easy.  The thing I am worried about is his cardio, none of his fights have ever gone past the first round, so I really don't know what he's got in his gas tank. Plus the short notice won't help that either, unless he was already training for a fight. 
Predictions
 40/61
