Shogun (8) was originally scheduled to fight Volkan (2)

Glover (3)was originally scheduled to fight Latifi (4)

That makes sense as Shogun while the lowest ranked of the 4 is the biggest name

Phase 1 - Volkan drops out to fight Gus and Latifi drops out for injury

Why didnt they have Glover move up to the main to fight Shogun

Instead they have an unranked former middle weight fighting Shogun

Then they have #9 gatekeeper fighting Teixera, who will basically try to pull a Phil Davis and wrestledecision him

Plus dont Shogun & Glover have history of a rivalry with Shogun ducking Glover at times

Smith could then fight Anderson as the comain
 
I would like this very much, yes
 
Seems like that would have been the obvious move. EDIT: Appears they had opponent switches at slightly different times.
 
He would dominate Shogun with grappling.

I think that Glover could look better at HW. He is slow as hell at LHW and some extra muscle will help him with his KO power
 
Because Shogun/Smith was made and finalized before Latifi dropped out of the Glover fight. Plain and simple.
 
Supposedly Shogun didn't wanted to fight Glover, read that somewhere but not sure about the credibility of his source. Hope that fight eventually happens anyway.
 
I prefer the Smith match-up

Glover would have tried to grapple
 
I would rather this also but at the same time it keeps more possible contenders open if they both win which is important because neither of these guys fight much/are injured often (moreso Shogun of course)
