Despite some fight card chaos, UFC 133 is set to go down Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. While this was supposed to be Jon Jones’ first title defense in the light heavyweight division against Rashad Evans, injuries have sidelined Jones. Tito Ortiz, fresh off of a convincing career-saving win at UFC 132, has stepped in to take on Evans.
