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.
