UFC on Fox 2: Evans vs. Davis

Saturday January 28th 2012

UFC's second show on Fox has seen major changes, when UFC President Dana White announced that Mark Munoz is out of his January 28th bout against Chael Sonnen due to injury. Stepping in for Munoz will be "The Count," Michael Bisping, with the winner squaring off against middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

Fans who expected a verbal war between these two notorious fighters didn't have to wait long before the smack-talk started.

"This isn't the new co-main, because I sold all the tickets. This is the new main event," said Sonnen. "I am going to knock the teeth out of this snot-nosed Brit who calls a Count. I am MMA royalty and America will tune into the Chael Sonnen show next Saturday on FOX."

Bisping offered some words of his own in return: "He's been kicked out of politics, he has been kicked out of the real estate business, and I am going to kick him out of the middleweight division."

Stepping in to face Bisping's original foe, Brazilian Demian Maia, will be Chris Weidman, who is coming off an impressive first round victory over Tom Lawlor at UFC 139 in November.
