Quarry wins if he pulls out what he did against Pete Sell....Don't see that happening. Bisping by decision or TKO.

Well first of all, Nate Quarry has an elbow injury and declined to take Lebens place in the event Leben cannot fight.
And secondly, UFC is still advertising Bisping Vs Leben.
They cannot advertise a fight that isn't happening, therefore do not believe the rumors that state Leben is not fighting.
If he were not, the fight would have been removed immediately.
Remember that all though he was sentenced to 35 days, he may get out much earlier. Many jails are overcrowded, and offer time off for good behavior.
We can only hope Chris Leben will be released early.

Do you have the source to where Quarry said he won't fight Bisping?

It's in the original link that was posted in the News Forum that stated the fight was off in the first place.

UFC has now confirmed that, due to Chris Leben's jail sentence for violating probation, his fight with Michael Bisping at UFC 85 is now off. No known replacement for Leben yet.
Article
Read the entire article.
I'm with Ninja...until it's confirmed by a more credible source, I don't buy it.

They should throw Bisping in against Kampman instead of Rivera. That would be a great fight and Kampmann would smash Bisping in front of Bisping's own counrty men.

Bisping would be a tough tune up fight for the hitman, but I think he could take him. Would be a striking WAR for sure

Now that would be cool and pretty funny considering that Leben took Quarry's place in the show and now Quarry's taking Lebens place , Awesome for Quarry if he can capitalize on the moment, Bisping looks at home at 185 so we'll see what happens , Hope its Quarry though !

Kampmann is from Europe, so it's not as though Bisping would be defeated by a yank if he lost. The UFC wouldn't make a european vs european fighter after it's scheduled to be a european vs an american.
