UFC on FOX 2: Evans vs Davis was held Saturday, January 28, 2012, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The main card aired live on the FOX network, and the undercard aired live on FUEL TV.
In the 5-round main event, "Suga" Rashad Evans won a clean sweep unanimous decision over the previously undefeated Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis. With this victory, Evans has earned his long-awaited title shot against his former teammate and current archrival, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon "Bones" Jones. The two will throw down at UFC 145 in Atlanta.
In the co-main event, Chael Sonnen also won a decision to earn a championship fight with his most hated enemy. Sonnen outpointed fellow UFC villain Michael "The Count" Bisping to claim his rematch against UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva.
To kick off the FOX telecast, Matt Serra-Ray Longo student Chris "The All-American" Weidman won a unanimous decision over BJJ black belt Demian Maia in what amounted to a sloppy kickboxing bout.
