Evans ans Davis are at it again

It appears that a light heavyweight battle between former UFC champion Rashad Evans and rising contender Phil Davis has been re-scheduled for UFC on Fox 2 on Jan. 28 in Chicago. The fight was reported by ESPN.com late Tuesday evening, citing anonymous sources.

The two were originally slated to headline UFC 133 in August, but and knee injury sidelined Davis. Evans went on to defeat Tito Ortiz at UFC 133, but was then put on the shelf with a hand injury that kept him out of a title fight with Jon Jones.

Now it appears that Evans and Davis will likely headline the UFC’s sophomore effort on Fox.

Evans (16-1-1), coming off of the victory over Ortiz, has a lot on the line. He needs a victory to keep his No. 1 contender status in tact. Evans been chasing Jones ever since his former teammate won the belt at UFC 128 in March.

Davis (9-0) faces the biggest challenge of his career, fighting a former champion. A victory over Evans would prove Davis’ place in the division, propelling him straight into title contention.

UFC on Fox 2 is slated for Jan. 28 at the United Center in Chicago.

It's Official UFC on FOX 2: Chael Sonnen vs Mark Munoz set for Jan. 28 in Chicago

Anderson Silva's next fight may be against Chael Sonnen but Chael Sonnen's next fight won't be against Anderson Silva.

That's because the number one contender to the middleweight championship on the line when Sonnen battles Mark Munoz at UFC on Fox 2 on Jan. 28 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

The bout was recently confirmed by MMAmania.com, who was able speak with sources close to the contest.

Chael Sonnen recently demolished Brian Stann in what may or may not have been a title eliminator fight back at UFC 136 on Oct. 8 in Houston. If it wasn't, he made it one by boldly calling out Silva and challenging him to a rematch of their epic Aug. 7, 2010 encounter in Oakland.

UFC President Dana White said he would be "stupid" not to make the fight but a pesky shoulder injury is reportedly going to keep "The Spider" on the shelf until June, when the world's largest fight promotion heads back to Brazil.
If Sonnen can get by Munoz and make a good impression on network TV, he'll be joining his arch nemesis in his home country.

Standing in the way of this dream scenario is streaking middleweight masher Mark Munoz, who is coming off the biggest win of his career in the main event of UFC 138 across the pond, a second round stoppage victory over Chris Leben.

That win marked his fourth in a row and seventh in his last eight fights. If that's not good enough to earn a number one contender bout, I don't know what is.
But is "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" good enough to best the consensus number two 185-pound fighter in the world? We shall see.

UFC on FOX 2 is all set to pop off from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, and is the UFC's second outing on network television. It will be much different from the UFC on Fox 1 because four fights are expected for the main card, with the broadcast running for two hours.
