Breaking News! Mark Coleman drops out of UFC 87 bout with Lesnar.?

The following is from sherdog.com:

Former UFC champion Mark Coleman has withdrawn from a heavyweight tilt with upstart Brock Lesnar scheduled for UFC 87: Seek and Destroy on August 9 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn., due to a knee injury, UFC.com announced on Thursday.
Coleman, 43, confirmed that he tore his MCL in training and will be sidelined for six weeks. The injury will not require surgery. The replacement bout will be George St. Pierre vs. John Fitch for the UFC Welterweight championship.

What are your thoughts on this?

The GSP vs Fitch will be a better main card event. They haven’t removed the Lesnar fight; they are just not sure who should fight Lesnar. I would like to see them put him up against Herring, Hardonk or Kongo. All three would be a great match-up with Lesnar. I am kind of glad Coleman is out. He is known a little more with those fans who have watched MMA for awhile. While he has had great success in Japan… the new/average fan knows nothing about him. I think they should give him a match-up to get him reacquainted with fans. Then, maybe a match-up with Lesnar would be best plus pull in more fans.
