The Rashad Evans-Phil Davis bout that was supposed to take place four months earlier is rescheduled for Jan. 28, 2012 as the main event for UFC on Fox 2 in Chicago. If Evans wins the fight, he'll get the next shot at Jon Jones' title. If Davis (pictured, left) wins, that title shot would likely go to Dan Henderson.
