Nakamura (Pictures) falling off Saturday's PRIDE card
because of a knee injury, the Japanese mixed martial arts promotion
has scrambled to find a replacement for its Feb. 24 event in Las
Vegas.
American James Lee will step in on short notice to fight Travis Wiuff (Pictures), pending the former Gladiator Challenge and King of the Cage champion's medicals are cleared by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Sherdog.com has learned. The NSAC has already approved the bout between light heavyweights.
