UFC 108: Evans vs. Silva
Date: January 2, 2010
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Venue: MGM Grand Garden Arena
Broadcast: Pay-per-view
Light heavyweight “Sugar” Rashad Evans (13-1-1) and Thiago Silva (15-1) has been upgraded to marquee status at UFC 108 in Las Vegas January 2, card at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Evans looks to rebound from the first loss of his five-plus-year career. The 30-year-old lost the UFC's light heavyweight title in May when Lyoto Machida dropped him in the second round of their UFC 98 main-event contest. The former UFC light heavyweight champion has notched wins over some big names in the division, including knockout victories over Chuck Liddell and then-champion Forrest Griffin. The former Michigan State University wrestler has won 18 of his 20 pro fights, including a draw against former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz.
Silva also recently suffered the lone loss of his career to Machida. After suffering a first-round knockout to "The Dragon" in January, Silva has since bounced back with a TKO win over Keith Jardine at UFC 102. Silva was 13-0 (4-0 in the UFC) prior to loss and he has won 14, with four coming via KO/TKO and one by submission. The 26-year-old has put away his opponents within two rounds in all of his UFC wins and he looks to throw his name in the UFC title contention hat with a win over former world titleholder Rashad Evans.
Joining Evans vs. Silva on the main card are Tyson Griffin (14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) vs. Jim Miller (15-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC), Paul Paley (22-8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Carlos Condit (24-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC), and Junior Dos Santos (9-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) vs. Gabriel Gonzaga (11-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC). A fifth main-card fight will likely be announced in the coming weeks.
