UFC 133 was set to be the UFC’s big return to Philadelphia after the highly entertaining UFC 101 where Anderson Silva stopped Forrest Griffen in the first round. The card was set to be headlined by Rashad Evans coming back from a long layoff against rising Light Heavyweight star Phil Davis. Unfortunately, it looks like Davis is now out of the fight because of a knee injury.
Instead, I have learned from sources close to the situation that Rashad Evans will be facing the one man who defeated him, Lyoto Machida. The fight will be a rematch from their UFC Light Heavyweight Title fight over two years ago at UFC 98. The first fight was entertaining but it showed a real hole in Rashad’s game. He was unable to figure out Machida’s timing and suffered a knockout loss because of it.
