Chad Ochocinco Wants To Fight Anderson Silva

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco already has plans if there is an NFL lockout:

Yep.

"I'll whip his [expletive]," Ochocinco said at ESPN the Weekend in Orlando, Fla. "I'm not going to the ground. I know if I'm going to fight Anderson, I have to fight him standing up. I'm quicker than him. I know he's good at what he does, but let's not be fooled. I'm one of the elite athletes in the NFL. I'm very fast."
Is Ochocinco serious?

He's 6 foot 1 and 192 pounds, while Silva is 6 feet 2 and 185 pounds. So they have similar builds.

But Ochocinco has never fought, while Silva is 28-4, including winning a UFC-record 13 in a row.

"I just can't go to the ground," he said. "Maybe I can just run around the ring the whole damn time."

And a nickname?
"Wildman," he said. "I just create my own style. I'm crazy enough to get in there."

Phil Davis reported to be replacing injured Jon Jones in Rashad Evans UFC 133 fight.

With UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones (13-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) injured, UFC officials have now booked a bout between the champ's original opponent, Rashad Evans (15-1-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC), and replacement Phil Davis (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC).

Sources today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the new matchup, which takes place at UFC 133. The Canadian Press' Neil Davidson first reported the opponent switch, which was later officially announced by the UFC.

A source told MMAjunkie.com that Jones is facing a lengthy recovery from a torn right-hand ligament suffered in his title win. A timetable for his return wasn't immediately available.

Although not officially announced, UFC 133 is expected to take place Aug. 6 in Philadelphia. The main card is expected to air on pay-per-view.

The change of plans means another speed bump in Evans' request to reclaim the UFC's light-heavyweight title.
