The two were scheduled to meet in the main event of UFC 133 in Philadelphia this August, but a knee injury suffered by Davis took him out of the event. Evans then met Tito Ortiz in a rematch of their July 2007 draw, and stopped him by TKO in the second round. The win was his third straight since losing the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship against Lyoto Machida in 2009.
Davis is a perfect 9-0 in his MMA career, including a 5-0 mark in the UFC. The former national champion wrestler out of Penn State most recently defeated Antonio Rogerio Nogueira by decision in March at UFC Fight Night 24.
No bouts for the UFC on Fox 2 card have been officially announced as of yet, but the UFC has confirmed the date and location for their second card on network television.
UPDATE: It should be noted that this fight is also reportedly going to be the headlining fight for this card. It was worthy of a pay-per-view slot, and it's still a good fight for this event as well.
