****!...Well that means I'm not going to Philly. I was praying that it would be Jones v. Evans. The rest of the card is decent but not 200-300 dollar a ticket good.

That's too bad. I was looking forward to that fight.

Not a bad main card. It will be a good test to see what Phil Davis can do vs upper tier light heavy wieghts.

Just my .02 but if Evans doesn't defeat Davis...... that wouldn't be a good look.

Edit: after further review I guess UFC had no choice but to go with Davis as a replacement.

All the other LHW's are already scheduled for upcoming bouts, and you don't want to leave Evans on the shelf once again until Jones recovers.

Things might get really cloudy in that division

I guess there was no one else available because what has Davis done to earn a fight against Rashad?

ex carrabba fan · 04-25-2011, 04:31 PM

Not much.

There really wasn't anyone else out there for Rashad though. So I can't hate the move.

Rashad needs a fight for sure.

5-0 in the UFC. Wins against Nog, Gustafson, and Stann. Probably not anyone else to fight either though, unless Rampage gets through Hamill injury free and they want to go that route
