Live on Saturday May 23, 2009 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. MMA fans will be treated to a Main Event with two warriors with a combined record of 32-0-1 go to war and one must leave with the first blemish on the record. “Sugar” Rashad Evans (18-0-1) and Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida (14-0) have been on a tear shutting down top UFC Light Heavyweight fighters in the Octagon. Machida has definitely earned his shot as the number one contender to the LHW belt. Evans took the belt from Forrest Griffin back at UFC 92 and will look to successfully defend his belt for the first time. Both fighters are very technical and fight cautious which makes for a great fight, one of them must step up and take the fight to the other. The winner of this fight will square off with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson later this year. Also on the card we have the long awaited feud to be settled between Matt Hughes (43-7) vs. Matt Serra (9-5). Both fighters dislike one another very much and will do everything possible to make sure this fight does not go the distance.
