Multiple published reports from Brazilian news organizations suggest that UFC 133 headliner Rashad Evans is still without an opponent after Lyoto Machida declined the opportunity to fight at the Aug. 6 event on short notice. Both Esporte and Clic RBS quoted Machida's wife Fabyola, who said that the former UFC light-heavyweight champion had decided against facing Evans with less than four weeks to prepare. Unless Machida changes his mind, he'll be the second high-profile fighter to turn down the main event bout. Tito Ortiz also rejected a chance to step in for the injured Phil Davis. Either fight would have been a rematch of a previous bout. Ortiz and Evans fought at UFC 73 in July 2007, with the pair fighting to a draw. At the time, it was Evans' first step up to top-level competition. By the time he and Machida fought at UFC 98, he was the newly crowned champion. But Machida ended his reign before a successful title defense, knocking him out in the second round. Because of his previous win over Machida, it was thought that he would be more likely to accept the fight, but it turns out that time worked against the possibility. "He decided he would not be able to prepare in just three weeks," his wife Fabyola told Esporte. "It was very short notice and has a number of factors that need to be analyzed. So he decided he will not fight." With that, the hunt for a replacement continues.

173. That's the number of fight cards until a Twister made its way inside the UFC cage. Over 17 years after Royce Gracie first showcased Brazilian jiu-jitsu to a national audience, there are submission holds still being introduced to MMA. "The Korean Zombie" Chan-Sung Jung's Twister against Leonard Garcia at UFC Fight Night 24 is my selection for the top submission of the year so far. Chan's first meeting with Garcia at WEC 48 is considered to be one of the top five fights of 2010 and with highly questionable scores surrounding the popular fight, it was only a matter of time until the two would meet again. The rematch finally came into fruition this past March and although it wasn't a repeat of their ridiculously fun, reckless WEC slugfest, it managed to steal the show once again with the introduction of a submission never before seen in the UFC. The Twister (refereed to as a "guillotine" in wrestling) is a neck crank wrestling maneuver modified and popularized by jiu-jitsu instructor Eddie Bravo for submission grappling and MMA. Yes, the submission has been done before, but not on a major league show. Jason Chambers and Jason Day, followers of Bravo's rubber guard system, have done it before in 2005 and 2009, respectively. Nick "The Goat" Thompson might have been the first when he used it in August 2004 and on the women's MMA front, Shayna Baszler recorded a Twister at a local show in Shawnee, Okla. Between upper echelon competitors, Jake Shields attempted a Twister on Jason "Mayhem" Miller at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers, but couldn't finish it. So while there have been a handful of Twisters on the local level, Chan was the first to pull it off in the UFC and live in front of a television audience.
