Originally Rashad “Sugar” Evans was originally penned in to fight Quinton Jackson, but “Rampage” had to pull out prior to the fight as he was struggling with injurys to his knee ligaments as well as a injury to his jaw which won’t come as a surprise as he has been in demand in recent Months, and this would have been his third fight in 6 Months!

Although this fight will receive far less media coverage then the much anticipated Evans Vs Jackson fight would have serious fight fans will know this is definitely not going to be a walk over for Rashad. Lyoto holds a perfect record of 14-0 and has notched up wins against both Tito Ortiz and Thiago Silva.

Whats great about the fight between Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida is that both fighters are undefeated. Machida fought Thiago Silva in his last fight, which ended Silva’s undefeated streak, will he do the same to Rashad Evans at UFC 98?
