Lavar Johnson replaces Mark Hunt at UFC 146

UFC 146 is schuffling and mixing the card up yet again. This time UFC Heavyweight Mark Hunt suffered a Knee injury and was forced to withdraw from his bout with Stefan Skyscraper Struve at UFC 146. His replacement? Heavyweight up and coming powerhouse and former Strikeforce fighter Lavar Johnson. Johnson most recently destroyed Pat HD Barry only a few weeks ago at UFC on Fox 3 and is riding a momentum wave winning his first 2 UFC Fights back to back in devastating fashion.

Struve is on a winning streak of his own after winning back to back against both Pat Barry and Dave Herman. The 7 foot heavyweight will likely look to use his own momentum to defeat Johnson and keep climbing his way back up the division ladder.
