Who's fighting in place of Coleman?

Dana White always says he expects for bad stuff to happen each day when he wakes up. He didn't have to wait until this morning for his latest lousy break at UFC 106. Tito Ortiz twittered late last night that his opponent Mark Coleman is out of their Nov. 21 fight. Now what?

It's been difficult to find premium matchups at light heavyweight. UFC has champion Lyoto Machida facing Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 104 in October. It just announced Rashad Evans will battle Thiago Silva in January at UFC 108. And Randy Couture just came off the table against Brandon Vera at UFC 105 in November. So who's left? And what's the UFC's goal for Tito?

Clearly, the Coleman fight was a way to put name in against Ortiz, but it was a fight that he should win. Who else is a relatively easy mark with a good name? Luiz Cane and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira are on the same card but those are risky fights for Ortiz. Or would UFC dump Evans-Silva to push Evans in a Tito rematch? Could Evans even take the fight now on six weeks notice? It's too bad Wanderlei Silva is out the mix right now after his plastic surgery. Would a quick turn around for veteran Vladimir Matyushenko interest anyone? Don't even ask about Kimbo Slice. Maybe it's best to give Tito's surgically repaired back a little more time to heal and push the fight back?
