Phil Davis got hurt and the UFC offered Lyoto Machida the chance to replace him against Rashad Evans at the UFC 133 main event, but the rematch probably won’t happen.

On Tuesday night, TATAME spoke with Lyoto’s wife, who told us he received the offer, but didn’t decide yet to take it or not. On Wednesday morning, Machida’s manager Ed Soares told TATAME that the former light heavyweight champion decided not to take it.

“It won’t happen… I think he doesn’t have enough time to get ready,” Soares told TATAME. “I’m at Rio de Janeiro with Jose Aldo, Anderson (Silva) and (Rodrigo) Minotauro, do Joinha (Jorge Guimarães) is dealing with this negotiations, but, from what I know, it won’t happen”.

TATAME called Guiamarães and Lyoto, but could reach them at the moment. Stay tuned for more news.
