UFC on FOX 2 is already upon us, and, despite a last minute injury, the world’s premiere MMA organization has come through with a pretty solid main card.
First up, veteran Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace Demian Maia takes on rising prospect Chris Weidman, who was gutsy enough to take this bout on just 11 days notice.
Maia’s original opponent, Michael Bisping, will not be taking on Chael Sonnen in a middleweight title eliminator after Mark Munoz suffered a serious elbow injury less than two weeks before the event.
In the main event, “Mr. Wonderful” Phil Davis takes on perennial light heavyweight contender Rashad “Suga” Evans, to likely decide who is next for 205-pound champion Jon “Bones” Jones.
Bleacher Report MMA Featured Columnists Jordy McElroy, Dwight Wakabayashi, Jeffrey McKinney, Dale De Souza and myself, John Heinis, will be breaking the fights down this week.
Take a look inside for the in-depth predictions.
