Dave Meltzer is reporting that Karo Parisyan, Lombard’s opponent on the card, will now face Ryo Chonan on the televised card. Thiago Alves, who was to face Chonan in a preliminary bout, will now face Chris Lytle.

Both of these match ups will be fantastic. I honestly can’t pick a winner in either, though I would like to see Lytle win.
I like Parisyan to win his bout but I think this fight is a better matchup than it was with Lombard. Lytle-Alves should be good as well. It seems Lytle isn’t going to the WEC yet but I would venture another loss would have him go to the organization at least temporarily.
i like karo and hope he can come back to ufc with a win.hes a tough fight for anyone.
It is unfortunate that there is no title fight for UFC 78, but a tleast the match ups have recently been upgraded and the shuffling of opponents will make this PPV better than it was prior to the shuffling.
Karo is so overdew for a title shot, he keeps wining and still no title shot. This is a lose lose for Karo though, he looses and drops down in ranking, and if he wins it will seem like anothe Pride guy that is no good in UFC. I hope he puts a hole through Chonan, that is the only way he might get a fight to get to the title shot
