Per mmaweekly.com they added Rashad Evans vs James Irvin as well as Michael Bisping vs Chris Leben. Kinda surprising that Bisping was added since he just fought 4 days ago, so he basically will have fought on April 19th and then on June 7th, not even a full 2 months apart. It shouldnt be much work for Bisping though since he is naturally at this weight anyways, obviously the UFC is probably going to pay him a bonus of some sort banking on him saving the card since its in London again.

EDIT- On a side note, there is no way they move the Tito fight, this is his last fight and rumor is he isnt coming back, the last time something like this happened, Arlovski was put on the undercard and never shown.
