Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz are set to square off in the main event at UFC 133, in what is a very important fight for both competitors.
Evans needs to get past Ortiz to finally get his crack at the light heavyweight championship. He was supposed to fight for the belt back at UFC 128, but was injured and forced to pull out of the fight. Evans was then in line to face Jon Jones for the belt, but Jones withdrew due to a lingering hand injury. A win over Tito will all but guarantee Evans the next crack at the belt.
Ortiz has to prove that his victory over Ryan Bader at UFC 132 wasn't a fluke. Tito may have won his first fight in five years, but he was still very close to being fired and a loss now could put him right back in that position. Also, The Huntington Beach Bad Boy wants to make his way towards a title shot and a win over Rashad could put him right in the mix.
Let's see how these two stack up...
