Today on "MMA Nation" we're going to take a look back at the busy week that was MMA and what lies ahead. Spefically, we'll dig into the UFC 131 card shake-up that happened as a result of Brock Lesnar's illness. We'll explore potential impacts, assess whether he'll fight again and more.

We'll also do a preview of the UFC 130 fight card, especially now that the event lost its headlining fight between Frankie Edgar and Gary Maynard. What are the best fights on the card? Can Rampage step up in terms of fight promotion?

Speaking of UFC 130, we'll also be talking to UFC heavyweight Stefan Struve as he prepares for Travis Browne at that event. We'll talk his recent weight gain, building his skill set to fight wrestlers, how he feels about the UFC insurance program and what his take is on fighting teammates.

Lastly, we’ll look ahead at the upcoming MMA/combat sports schedule. Even with all of the cancellations it’s going to be a very, very busy summer.

And, of course, we’ll also be taking all of YOUR calls. It’s toll free anywhere in North America, so don’t be shy.
