UFC 133: Tito Ortiz Passes On Rashad Evans Rematch

As any fight fan knows, injuries can demolish a good card, but the UFC may catch a break this time. According to Yahoo Sports, the promotion confirmed that Davis is out of the main event at UFC 133 with an injury and now the search is on for replacement to face Rashad Evans.

There aren't many big names available, but the UFC did reach out to Tito Ortiz, a winner just 10 days ago at UFC 132, the Huntington Beach Bad Boy declined via Twitter,

I have a life and things to take care of. The fight game is about making the right choices of my career. If you knew what I have been going through you all would understand. Peaking for a fight is what makes a fighter unstoppable! Timing is everything in life. This is a rebuild year for me not do or die. The time will come again! #positive

So who's up? Some are saying Lyoto Machida is the most obvious candidate. Yet Machida already dismantled Evans at UFC 98. If not "The Dragon," then who? Rich Franklin or Antonio Rogerio Nogueira?
