Mauricio "Shogun" Rua has pulled out of his highly anticipated bout against Chuck Liddell due to injury.
He recently ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament - the same knee which he had undergone surgery for prior to fighting Forrest Griffin. Taking his place will be the undefeated light heavyweight Rashad Evans, who has come off a draw against Tito Ortiz.
