Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today released the latest video trailer to promote its upcoming major pay-per-view (PPV) event, which is scheduled for the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pa., on Aug. 6, 2011. UFC 133: “Evans vs. Ortiz 2” will feature a re-worked main event between former light heavyweight champions Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz. “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” stepped up on short notice to replace an injured Phil Davis. UFC 133, which has been plagued with injuries, also lost its original co-featured fight of the night between Rich Franklin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira when “Lil Nog” had to bow out with an injury, too. The middleweight match up between Vitor Belfort and Yoshihiro Akiyama was promoted to the co main event in its place. Is the reshuffled fight card going to deliver or fizzle on fight night?
