As with every major show, Bloody Elbow will be here to bring you live results, play by play and commentary for UFC on Fox 2. Our live coverage will start with the Fuel TV prelim broadcast (5 p.m. ET) and through the Fox main card broadcast (8 p.m. ET) so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.

This post will cover live results and thoughts for the main card on Fox.

Three fights make up the UFC's second effort on its network home with the main event seeing light heavyweight contenders Rashad Evans and Phil Davis facing off in a five round fight. Two of the biggest trash talkers in the sport meet in the co-main event when Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping meet for a shot at UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. In the opening bout on the broadcast it will be former title contender Demian Maia meeting top prospect Chris Weidman.
