IFL: Imes steps in for Nelson
Posted: Saturday May 10, 2008 02:36PM ET
The International Fight League on Friday announced some changes to its upcoming fight card scheduled for May 16 at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn. Heavyweight champion Roy Nelson had been scheduled to defend against UFC veteran Brandon Lee Hinkle. Due to an injury during training, however, Hinkle was forced to withdraw from the bout. Stepping in to take his place is another UFC veteran in Brad Imes. The bout will still be for Nelson's title. Fabricio Camoes, who had been scheduled to face Jim Miller, also had to back out of his bout due to injury. Following Camoes withdrawal, Miller also backed out of the fight.

Report Offensive CommentHinkle was originally the contender... just shows that IFL's quality in terms of fighters isn't up to UFC standards, at least yet
