UFC 114

UFC 114: Rampage vs. Evans[3] was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on May 29, 2010 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. The UFC Fan Expo took place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

Background

Spike TV once again broadcasted two live preliminary bouts one hour before the PPV broadcast began. In addition, the three-part UFC Primetime series returned to Spike TV in the build up for this event [4]

The full fight card featured five Ultimate Fighter season champions Rashad Evans, Michael Bisping, Diego Sanchez, Amir Sadollah and Efrain Escudero.[5] Forrest Griffin was also scheduled to be another Ultimate Fighter winner to compete, but had to pull out.

A bout between Forrest Griffin and Antônio Rogério Nogueira was scheduled, however Griffin withdrew due to a shoulder injury. Griffin was replaced by Jason Brilz.[6]

Melvin Guillard was scheduled to face Thiago Tavares, but Tavares was forced off the card with an elbow injury.[7] Waylon Lowe then stepped in as Tavares' replacement.

UFC President Dana White has confirmed that the winner between Jackson-Evans will fight the newly crowned UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Mauricio Rua, for the title. Rua's manager suggested he could see Rua's first title defense against Randy Couture though this bout is not likely going to come to fruition[8]

Jackson was originally supposed to fight Evans for the title after defeating Keith Jardine, but a jaw injury during that fight allowed Lyoto Machida to step in, in his place. At UFC 98 Evans was knocked out by Machida. Jackson was then expected to fight for the title against Machida, but instead became a coach on The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights against Evans.
