ESPN is reporting that Jon Jones has a torn ligament in his hand and has withdrawn form his match against Rashard Evans in UFC 133. This is another in what may be an alarming recent injury streak that has hurt the UFC cards. Recently Jon Fitch (UFC 132), BJ Penn (UFC 132), Court McGee (UFC 131), Brad Picket (UFC 130), Thiago Silva (UFC 130) have all pulled out of their matches citing injury.
Rashard Evans will be fighting replacement Phil Davis. Davis (9-0-0) defeated Antonio Rogerio Nogueira by unanimous decision during his most recent bout in March.
No answers yet to the time table of the freshly minted light heavyweight champion's return. However, Evans plans for a title shot may be derailed if not by a loss, by injury and scheduling.

Thats right baby, my boy Shogun busted up your hand without even laying one finger on you. On a serious note, Evans vs Davis? Great two guys dry humping each other for three rounds. Who the fuck would pay to see that. Wow,where did all these subscribers come from...LoL
