The Ultimate Fighting Championship debuted on Fox in November with a single fight, and after Junior dos Santos stopped Cain Velasquez for the UFC heavyweight title in less than a minute, many fans were left wanting more. The promotion comes back to the network with UFC on Fox 2, a heartier, three-fight main card offering from the United Center in Chicago.
Title implications abound on January 28, 2012 (January 29 in Manila), as Rashad Evans has been promised a long-awaited shot at light heavyweight champion Jon Jones with a victory over Phil Davis. There are no such guarantees for Davis, but a lot could change with an impressive victory. An injury to Mark Munoz brings Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping together, and the winner of the bout between the two outspoken middleweights is expected to secure a showdown with UFC middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva, although Sonnen remains skeptical. Also on the bill is a scrap between former title contender and decorated grappler Demian Maia and highly regarded prospect Chris Weidman.
It seems that the second UFC on Fox card will provide fight fans with much more meat as compared to the first televised Fox card which served its purpose as an appetizer.
