UFC 133: Evans vs. Ortiz 2 was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on August 6, 2011, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.[3][4]

Background

[edit]

Multiple fighters that were expected to fight at this event suffered injuries. This led to multiple fights, including championship bouts being called off as a result.[5]

This event was expected to feature Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones' first title defense against former Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans, but a pre-existing injury in his right hand prevented Jones from fighting, and was expected to keep him sidelined until late 2011.[6] Not willing to wait, Evans accepted a fight against Phil Davis at this event. However, Jones later found out that he would no longer require surgery and instead made his first title defense against Quinton Jackson on September 24, 2011, at UFC 135.[7]

On July 12, Phil Davis pulled out of his main event bout with Rashad Evans due to a knee injury suffered during training.[8] Tito Ortiz initially declined an offer to step in as Davis' replacement[9] and Evans was then rumored to face Lyoto Machida in a rematch of their title bout at UFC 98.[10][11] Machida's camp verbally accepted the fight, but when UFC President Dana White called Machida's camp again to confirm the fight, they said Machida would fight only if he received higher pay, which White declined.[12] The organization briefly turned their attention to matching Evans with Vladimir Matyushenko, who was already scheduled to compete on the card.[13] In the meanwhile, Ortiz had a change of heart and accepted the offer to replace Davis. The two previously met at UFC 73 where the bout ended in a Draw.[14] The Evans/Davis bout was later rescheduled for UFC on Fox 2 on January 28, 2012.

Nick Pace was originally slated to take on Michael McDonald at this event, before McDonald was pulled to replace Norifumi Yamamoto for a UFC 130 bout with Chris Cariaso.[15] Ivan Menjivar would later step in to face Pace at this event. At the official weigh ins on August 5, Menjivar could not make the 136 pound weight allowance cut off, and Pace subsequently agreed to fight Menjivar in a 138-pound catchweight bout.[16]

A bout between Featherweight Champion José Aldo and Chad Mendes was previously linked to this event.[17] However, Aldo was sidelined until October recovering from various injuries, while Mendes remained on the card and faced Rani Yahya.[18] The Aldo/Mendes title fight would later take place at UFC 142 on January 14, 2012.

Riki Fukuda was scheduled[19] to face Rafael Natal, but was forced out of the bout due to a knee injury suffered sustained in a car accident[20] and was replaced by Costas Philippou.[21] However, Philippou was later pulled from this bout to replace Alessio Sakara in a bout with Jorge Rivera on this same card, and he was replaced by Paul Bradley.

Vladimir Matyushenko was originally scheduled to face Alexander Gustafsson at this event.[22] Matyushenko, however, pulled out of the bout on July 13, 2011, due to an injury and was replaced by Matt Hamill.[23] The Matyushenko/Gustafsson bout was rescheduled for UFC 141 on December 30, 2011.

Antônio Rogério Nogueira was expected to face Rich Franklin at this event, but Nogueira pulled out of the bout on July 16, 2011, citing a shoulder injury.[24] Franklin was then pulled from the card as well.[25]

Jorge Rivera was originally scheduled to face Alessio Sakara. However, on July 25, Rivera announced that Sakara was no longer in the fight due to a torn ACL.[26] The UFC announced that Costas Philippou would be pulled from his bout with Rafael Natal and instead faced Rivera.[27]

UFC 133 featured two preliminary fights live on Spike TV.[28]

Background

Announcement and Scheduling

This marked the promotion's return to the city since on August 8, 2009. The August 6, 2011, date was chosen to slot into the UFC's summer schedule, capitalizing on Pennsylvania's established demand for live events following successful shows like . Early planning highlighted a potential light heavyweight main event featuring champion defending his title against former champion , a matchup anticipated as a high-profile clash between training partners turned rivals. However, Jones suffered a hand injury requiring surgery, leading to his withdrawal just days after the event's initial confirmation, as announced on April 25, 2011. This shift prompted subsequent revisions to the card, with Evans instead targeted against Phil Davis in what was briefly promoted as "UFC 133: Evans vs. Davis" in May 2011. The final main event billing as "UFC 133: Evans vs. Ortiz 2" was locked in on July 13, 2011, after Davis withdrew due to injury and former champion stepped in for the rematch of their 2007 encounter. Amid these developments, initial undercard fights were steadily revealed to build anticipation, including the welterweight matchup between Mike Pyle and Rory MacDonald, announced on May 24, 2011, pitting the veteran submission specialist against the rising Canadian prospect.

Injuries and Fight Card Changes

The UFC 133 fight card underwent extensive revisions due to a series of injuries and withdrawals, reshaping much of the event in the weeks leading up to August 6, 2011. Initially, following champion ' torn hand ligament sustained during his March 2011 title-winning performance against Mauricio Rua, was rescheduled to face Phil Davis in the main event, as Jones' recovery delayed his anticipated defense against Evans. This main event fell apart when Davis suffered a knee injury in training and was forced to withdraw just weeks before the event. In response, the UFC briefly considered other matchups, including offering the bout to to face Evans, before finalizing a different pairing. Ultimately, , riding momentum from his recent submission win over at UFC 132, agreed to step in on three weeks' notice for a rematch with Evans—their first encounter having ended in a draw at UFC 73 in 2007. The co-main event slot was similarly disrupted when Antonio Rogerio Nogueira withdrew from his bout against due to an undisclosed injury, prompting the UFC to remove Franklin from the card entirely after failing to secure a suitable replacement. This vacancy led to the promotion of a matchup between and to the main card. Franklin later voiced public frustration with the UFC's matchmaking decisions amid the instability, highlighting broader concerns about fighter preparation and opponent selection. Additional light heavyweight changes included Vladimir Matyushenko's withdrawal from his scheduled fight against Alexander Gustafsson due to an injury, with Matt Hamill stepping in as a replacement; no opponent was found to fill a potential bout involving Davis and Gustafsson, as Davis' earlier knee issue had already sidelined him from contention. In the middleweight division, Riki Fukuda was removed after sustaining a knee injury in a car accident, initially replaced by Costas Philippou against Rafael Natal. However, when Alessio Sakara pulled out of his bout with Jorge Rivera due to a torn ACL, Philippou was reassigned to face Rivera, and Paul Bradley was called in to replace the vacated spot against Natal. Norifumi Yamamoto's injury-related withdrawal from a preliminary bantamweight slot at indirectly influenced the card, as it prompted Michael McDonald's reassignment from a planned bout against Nick Pace at UFC 133, leading to further adjustments in the bantamweight lineup, with Pace facing instead. These cascading disruptions—totaling more than 10 significant alterations—cemented UFC 133's reputation in MMA media as a "cursed card," marked by unprecedented instability that tested the promotion's ability to salvage the event.
