This Saturday, Dana White and crew will make their way to the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario for UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida. When this event was first announced, Lyoto Machida and Phil Davis were rumored to be the main event but it was eventually revealed that Davis was still recovering from a knee injury and would not be fighting. Later, it was thought that Jon Jones would defend his title against Rashad Evans, but that, too, was shut down due to a thumb injury in the Evans camp. Let’s take a look at the current main card and break it down.

TUF 14 wasn’t bad for a wager or two, but if you’re looking for some serious Christmas money, this is the card. Between Jones defending his title and both Nogueira brothers on the same card, its money well spent on the PPV and money in pocket with smart wagers. So, let’s dig into my comparison betting odds and valid props for this event and get the bankroll growing. Now, onto the fights!

Earlier this week, Phil Davis injured his knee and was forced out of the main event at UFC 133 in Philadelphia, PA on August 8th.  Tito Ortiz stepped in and took that fight to save the main event.  Now, the co main event has been stricken as Antonio Rogerio Nogueira has been forced off the card with an undisclosed injury.

Phil Davis is out of UFC 133 with a knee injury, this according to MMA Fighting who broke the story.   At this point, it is unclear as to how this will affect Rashad Evans, but it won’t be easy to find a suitable replacement on some three weeks notice.  Tito Ortiz just fought and wasn’t injured, perhaps he’d like a shot to redeem himself against Evans.  Not to beat a dead horse, but this could also open the way for a fight between Champion Jon Jones and number one contender Rashad Evans at UFC 134.
