This Week in MMA

At UFC 133 there have been alot of changes over the last week. Rashad Evans has had a number of different people that he has been lined up to fight this year.  But with numerous injuries the fight cards have been juggled quite a bit.  UFC 133 finally got slated to happen in August with Rashad fighting Phil Davis.  Everything seemed kosher until last week when it was announced that Davis was out due to a knee injury.  This put Joe Silva scrambling to find a new opponent.  Rumors swarmed that Lyoto Machida was offered the fight and turned it down as well as Tito Ortiz who was still celebrating his suprise victory over Ryan Bader at UFC 132.  But just as quickly as the news spread that Tito had said no to the fight, rumors started swirling that he had changed his mind.  Then the next day it became official.  Tito Ortiz would be headlining UFC 133 against Rashad Evans.  The two of them fought once before and it went to a draw.  Tito could have won but an illegal kick in the second round cost him a point and the fight ended up with the judges scoring it even.  So now is the time for one of them to prove who is the top athlete.  If Rashad wins Dana White has said he will get a title shot against the winner of UFC 135 Jones vs Rampage.  If Tito wins then the UFC will have to give him another fight as he works his was back into title shot contention.  Lets hope for all of us haters that Tito not only loses, but get himself knocked into retirement.
