Rashad Evans won a second round TKO over Tito Ortiz in the main event of UFC 133 Saturday night in Philadelphia.
The win earned Evans a chance to regain the UFC Light Heavyweight title. Evans won the title in December, 2007 and held it for five months before losing in his first title defense against Lyoto Machida.
He was scheduled to fight then-champion Mauricio Rua for the title earlier this year, but had to drop out of the fight due to injury. Jon “Bones” Jones, who was helping him train for the fight, stepped in and won the title. Evans was supposed to fight Jones for the title Saturday night, but a Jones injury forced him to drop out.
Evans will now face the winner of Jones and Rampage Jackson, who fight at UFC 135.
Evans left no doubt that he was the top contender, dominating Ortiz, also a former champion, for two rounds on Saturday.
Ortiz scored an early takedown, but Evans was able to work his way back to his feet.
The two fighters began exchanging punches at a rapid rate. Evans quickly got the edge and backed Ortiz against the cage. Soon, Ortiz stopped throwing and focused on covering his head. Evans was able to land several body shots against the cage.
Evans finished the first round with a lift and slam takedown and ground and pound. He had a lopsided 40-15 edge in strikes landed in the first round.
The second round striking was even more one-sided. Evans landed 41 shots in the round, while Ortiz was unable to land any.
Despite that, Ortiz nearly ended the fight. Evans landed a three-punch combination, then shot in for a takedown. Ortiz caught him in a guillotine choke, the same move that earned him an upset win over Ryan Bader in July.
Evans was able to work his way out of the choke and ended up on top of Ortiz. He got side control and battered Ortiz’s head with punches.
Ortiz tried fighting to his feet, but got as far as his knees. Evans stood in front of him, holding him in a clinch. He then landed a brutal knee to Ortiz’s ribs.
Ortiz crumpled to the canvas, and Evans landed several more shots before referee Dan Miragliotta stepped in to stop the fight at 4:48 of the second.
“The knee to the body hurt,” Ortiz said. “My mind was saying ‘get up’ but my body wasn’t doing it.”
Ortiz is now 1-5-1 in his last seven fights. The win over Bader saved his spot in the UFC, meaning that his future with the organization is now in jeopardy. Saturday was his 25th UFC fight, the most by any fighter in history.
The bout was Evans’ first since defeating Rampage Jackson in May of 2010, thanks to a series of injuries to himself and scheduled opponents. “If that was ring rust, I’d hate to see him when he doesn’t have any rust,” said UFC president Dana White.
Evans won his third straight since losing the title, improving to 16-1-1 with his seventh knockout. Ortiz fell to 16-9-1 and was knocked out for the first time since December, 2006.
In the co-featured fight, Vitor Belfort got back on the winning track with an impressive first-round knockout of Yoshihiro Akiyama.
Belfort was knocked out by UFC Middleweight champion Anderson Silva in his last fight. He swarmed Akiyama with punches Saturday night.
Belfort landed a straight left to the head that hurt Akiyama, then dropped him with two more left hands. He didn’t give Akiyama a chance to recover, raining punches on him until the referee stopped the fight at 1:52 of the first.
Belfort had a 18-3 edge on strikes landed, and 14 of those 18 shots landed were power shots.
It was Belfort’s fastest knockout in two and a half years and his 14th in his career. Twelve of those have come in the first round. Belfort improved to 20-9, while Akiyama, who was thought to need a win to keep his spot on the UFC roster, lost his third straight to fall to 13-4.
