UFC on Fox: Evans vs. Davis (also known as UFC on Fox 2) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on January 28, 2012 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois
A bout between Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Wineland was originally slated for this event. However, Johnson was pulled from the bout to be a participant in the UFC’s Flyweight tournament set to begin in March. Wineland was then expected to face Johnny Bedford at this event. However, Wineland himself was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Mitch Gagnon. Then just days before the event, the bout was cancelled due to an alleged visa issue for Gagnon.
Paul Sass was expected to face Evan Dunham, but was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by Nik Lentz.
Cody McKenzie was expected to face Michael Johnson at the event, but was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by Shane Roller.
Mark Munoz was expected to face Chael Sonnen in a #1 contender’s bout for a middleweight title shot, but was forced out of the bout with an injury, and was replaced by Michael Bisping, who was pulled from a scheduled fight with Demian Maia. Maia’s new opponent will be Chris Weidman.
