UFC on Fox 2: Evans vs. Davis
Jan 28, 2012
United Center
Chicago, IL



Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis
Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping
Jon Olav Einemo vs. Mike Russow
Demian Maia vs. Chris Weidman
Nik Lentz vs. Evan Dunham
Charles Oliveira vs. Eric Wisely
George Roop vs. Cub Swanson
Joey Beltran vs. Lavar Johnson
Shane Roller vs. Michael Johnson
Chris Camozzi vs. Dustin Jacoby
Johnny Bedford vs. Mitch Gagnon


Originally Sonnen was to face Mark Munoz to determine who fights for the middleweight title but Munoz had an elbow injury. 24 bone spurs were removed from Munoz's elbow, let's look at the pictures here! http://www.markmunozmma.com/surgery-day/ I wonder if you put those under your pillow if the elbow bone spur fairy would come give you money?

Winner of Chael Sonnen vs Michael Bisping determines who Anderson Silva beats up next. Winner of Evans vs. Davis determines who Jon Jones beats up next.

Picks?

Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis - I'm still predicting Rashad will be the one to beat Jones.

Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping - This will probably go the distance so its going to all depend on Bispings takedown defence. Sonnen is rightly favourite but I've just got a feeling Bisping is going to win.

Jon Olav Einemo vs. Mike Russow (vis submission.)
Demian Maia vs. Chris Weidman (again via sub)
Nik Lentz vs. Evan Dunham
Charles Oliveira vs. Eric Wisely
George Roop vs. Cub Swanson

I've got Davis over Rashad; the only place where I think Rashad is better is striking, Mr. Wonderful has much better wrestling credentials and could do some damage from the top or possibly catch Evans with a submission. Regardless, though, I don't think Evans takes out Bones even if he wins here--he might have been able to a year ago, but the speed with which Bones progresses (as shown by his last 3 wins... or his entire UFC career, really) has taken him beyond Evans grasp, I think.

I'm also rooting for Bisping for the first time. The guy is underrated; I underrated him as well. Hopefully he shows what he can do against Sonnen, though he doesn't have a snowball's chance against Anderson Silva.

So they are showing the three headliners not just the main event this time?

I am more excited by the line-up on this card than I am about the Diaz vs. Condit PPV.

Of course, I need to add the disclaimer that it is a fight which is by nature unpredictable. The excitement delivered (fight of the millenium, etc) and the fan's name recognition (and expectations) before the event of who is fighting are two different things.

It is free, with two title-eliminators. Predicting Evans, Sonnen and Maia as victors.
