The UFC 133 fight card, headlined by Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis and marking the return of the UFC to Philadelphia after a two-year absence, takes place Aug. 6 at the Wells Fargo Center.
Former light heavyweight champion Evans (15-1-1) was supposed to challenge champion Jon Jones, but when Jones withdrew due to injury, Davis (9-0) stepped in. Evans will need to win in order to hold onto his No. 1 contender status. Meanwhile, although Davis won’t be guaranteed a title shot with a win, he’ll be “in the mix.”
