As if the barrage of fight announcements last week wasn’t enough to keep every MMA fan busy in the coming months, even more fights have been revealed for upcoming cards.

The biggest reveal of the week came in regards to the UFC’s next event on network television.  Headlining the Jan. 28 in Chicago will be light heavyweight contenders “Suga” Rashad Evans and Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis.

In some disheartening news, former cast member of The Ultimate Fighter season one, Chris Leben, was suspended for an entire year by the UFC following a positive drug test at UFC 138 in November.

Finally, the promotion announced that an event will be coming to Fuel TV in February and will be headlined by a welterweight collision between red-hot Jake Ellenberger and TUF winner Diego Sanchez.
