UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida - Saturday, May 23, live on Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.. It’s a fight between the two undefeated champion Rashad “Sugar” Evans and Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida. With a combined record of 32-0-1, light heavyweight stars Evans and Machida have left a trail of destruction behind them that includes some of the greatest fighters in UFC history. Now in the main event of UFC 98, the two will meet in an epic showdown pitting champion Evans against challenger Machida to not only determine the best 205-pound fighter on the planet, but to see who leaves with a loss on their record for the first time.
UFC 98 was supposed to be a match between Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar, due to a knee injury, their fight was postponed and they were replaced with a fight between Quinton Jackson and Rashad Evans. Again, this fight wouldn’t be possible yet because Quinton Jackson too had to have some surgery on his damaged jaw.
