In an attempt to completely make all preview work done by WKR pointless (thanks a lot, definitely a personal attack) MMA Junkie is reporting that:
Multiple sources today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the change to Saturday's card, which takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
A source told MMAjunkie.com said Saunders specifically asked for the new bout when Fitch became available.
Ellenberger has been promised his "show" and "win" money to make up for the UFC's last-minute switch, we're told.
An official announcement is expected any time now from the UFC.
Kurt Pellegrino vs. Fabricio Camoes has been promoted to the main card. Revised card is after the jump.

Hopefully
he brought his rape whistle. Seriously though, I like Ellenberger because he’s a Nebraska boy and he throws the leather too. Has Fitch ever been in an exciting fight?
Hadoken!!
Dude, I dislike Fitch with a passion (think me as Kratos and Fitch as Zeus), I’m hoping he gets KTFO. Only then would I view Saunders as a legit #1 contender.
