Let the smack talking begin. Recent news from the UFC reveals that Mark Munoz will not be able to compete against Chael Sonnen due to injury. He will now face Michael Bisping on the Fox2 event slated for the 28th January. The winner of the bout will face reigning middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

Sonnen and Bisping, both notrious for their pre-fight trash talk, will no doubt live up to their reputations. Stylistically it should be an interesting matchup as a classic striker versus grappler contents. It remains to be seen if Bisping's takedown defence will be effective against Sonnen, who not so long ago dominated Anderson Silva for five rounds until getting submitted via triangle choke in the dying seconds of the fifth.

Other noteworthy fights will include Rashad Evans vs Phil Davis, Paul Sass vs Evan Dunham, and Dustin Jacoby vs Chris Camozzy.
