It has been made official that the UFC and Dana White have put together Top Ten competitor in the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Contender, Chael Sonnen and Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Rashad Evans in as the Co-Main Event at UFC 167. This fight has been rumored and talked about for a little while and now it officially joins the UFC's 20th Anniversary Show in Vegas.
Both men are amazing wrestlers who can use their wrestling as an offensive attack as well as takedown defense. It will be interesting to see who will get the better of the wrestling if this match becomes a grappling war. I believe that Rashad Evans has the better striking between the two of the fighters. One thing that Chael has that could be a major factor in this fight is the ability to pressure his opponents during fights. It's too soon to try and even guess who will be the winner of this bout, but it has the potential to be an awesome fight.
This fight joins UFC 167 which is being headlined by Georges St. Pierre defending his title against top contender Johnny Hendricks. Fights also on the card are Robbie Lawlor vs. Rory MacDonald and Tyron Woodley vs. Josh Koscheck. This is shaping up to be yet another stacked card for the UFC. Let's pray that injuries do not ruin this amazing card.
