UFC on Fox 2: Evans vs. Davis

[Andrew]

Oh wait, Jan 28th... that's 29th here and unfortuantely i'm busy that day..

 

[No More Sorrow]

That's alright, there's shows on the 20th and 14th of January as well and another one right at the beginning of February. UFC's Going into a busy few months.

 

[Troy]

I am pretty sure this will be shown live on Australian tv which will be good so I don't have to find a stream. I hope I am free that day because there are so many fights I am looking forward to on this card including all three main card fights.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah this is a pretty solid card, probably the best of all the free Fox shows that the UFC has lined up.

 

[Deuce]

Agreed, hopefully I am free on this day as well. It looks like it will be an amazing FREE show.

 

[Chase]

This show looks mediocre

Sonnen vs Munoz- Casuals won't care, especially first time viewers of this card going to be hard. Only thing to keep people interested is Sonnen running his mouth.

Maia vs Bisping- No casual will like this a BJJ expert facing a striker? Mismatch think so, will newcomers like this no.. will hardcore fans. Yeah!

Evans vs Davis- Only reason why people will tune in is because of two black guys insulting each other. Need I say more?

 

[The Cork]

Sonnen via UD (in a close fight)
Maia via Sub (not close at all)
Evans via UD (very boring grapplefest and grinding against the cage)

Evans is gonna finish Davis off. There will not be a UD in that fight. Evans has a more vicious style to his game now.

Bisping will beat Maia. Yeah Maia has real good bjj but strikers always hold that beginning advantage and that is usually all that is needed. Maia has to get the fight down to the ground for the advantage. Bisping needs it standing for his... it starts standing, advantage Bisping.

Sonnen... not even close. Well maybe due to the long layoff and all the stuff Chael put himself through. But Chael can squeak out a win here.

 

[The Cork]

Sonnen hasn't had a long layoff, he beat Stann on the undercard of 136.

Bisping did look good against Mayhem (but its Mayhem, so I dunno what to take from that) so unsure about that fight. Still taking Maia though.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Phil Davis is just a young pup in terms of the MMA game, but the former Penn State University wrestling standout and NCAA Div. I champion is not lacking in the self-confidence department. Davis, who will meet Rashad Evans in the main event of UFC on Fox 2 at the end of the month, let the UFC know that they might as well book Dan Henderson as the next challenger to current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

"Give it to 'Hendo'. I ain't losing. Give it to 'Hendo'," said Davis, in a recent interview with MMAMania.com. "I don't care either way. You can give it to 'Hendo' and there will still be a belt when I get there. I don't care who the person is that has the belt, but there will be a belt when I get to it, and that's all that I'm concerned about."

Talk of a possible Henderson-Jones match was squashed by UFC president Dana White recently, as the leader of the UFC confirmed that Evans would be the next opponent for Jones if he gets past Davis. It would seem "Mr. Wonderful" has different plans for "Suga" when the two meet in Chicago, Illinois on January 28.

Along with Davis-Evans, UFC on FOX 2 will also feature Chael Sonnen vs. Mark Munoz, and Michael Bisping against Demian Maia.

Haha unless this happens

I think Shad has this fight.

 

[Slim]

Yeah I completely forgot the Sonnon/Stann fight. Completely. SO yeah Sonnen is gonna win still.

 

[Slim]

Munoz is out... Bisping vs. Sonnen.

Dana reported it on twitter.

ohhhhh man.

 

[Dale]

As a Brit I naturally hope for Bisping to win but i'm so torn on this fight right now

I'd love to see Bisping face Anderson but I have to see a rematch of Chael / Anderson especially in Brazil so i'm kinda leaning towards Chael.

 

[The Cork]

Better fight now, and one that I wanted anyway.

Munoz is a good fighter, but theres a grudge match element to Bisping/Sonnen.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah i just heard about this, better fight for both guys. I'm still leaning towards Chael to take the fight though, the fight with Anderson has to happen.
