Irwin Rivera is filling in on short notice, to take on Giga Chikadaze. The reason he has yet to weigh in, is because his participation in the event is dependant on the results of his health screenings. As for Faber, he was brought in as a potential replacement for his teammate Song Yadong, due to some visa issues that could potentially force him out.
