Above is the audio of Friday's media call to promote UFC on Fox 2. Featured on the call are UFC light heavyweight contenders Rashad Evans and Phil Davis. Co-headlining middleweights Chael Sonnen, Michael Bisping, Demian Maia and Chris Weidman also joined the panel. UFC Director of Communications Dave Sholler moderated the discussion.
Sonnen wasted no time kicking off the call with a jab at Bisping, asking if the hold music -- which is mostly elevator-type classical music -- was from his personal collection. From there the action seemed to die down for the most part, as both middleweights were surprisingly respectful of each other. "I don't think Michael Bisping behaves like a coward," Sonnen aptly explained. "I don't think he behaves in a shameful way or wears pink t-shirts."
With the drama lacking, Rashad Evans seemingly out-of-nowhere decided to fill the void. The former champion erupted in the closing moments of the call, apparently indignant at Davis' confidence. "I'm gonna smash you dude. You ain't ready. You just a boy," Evans declared. "We gonna see what happens when those lights hit you. You ain't a fighter."
Not one to idly stand by, an enraged Davis repeatedly shot back, "When I'm on top of you, I'm gonna remind you with every shot what you said."
UFC on Fox 2 will be held on January 28, 2012 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. For a complete rundown of the card, visit MMA Nation's UFC on Fox 2 fight card StoryStream.
