Belcher Out of UFC 81

Alan Belcher has been force to withdraw from his fight against Ricardo Almeida due to severe bronchitis.

Undefeated Alaska Fighting Championship veteran Rob Yundt will step in to take his place.

Almeida is making his return not only to the UFC, but mixed martial arts in general following a layoff of nearly four years. He had been on a six-fight winning streak and held the middleweight King of Pancrase title when he decided to walk away from the sport in mid-2004 to focus on his jiu-jitsu academy.

Again, fighters without much marketability. Hardly know their names.
