Lyoto Machida’s wife rules him out of UFC 133 clash with Rashad Evans due to short notice

In a sensational twist the wife of former UFC light heavyweight champion, Lyoto Machida has ruled her husband out of a rematch with Rashad Evans at UFC 133 on August 6^th, stating he simply doesn’t have adequate time to prepare for a big fight like that, leaving the Las Vegas based promotion high and dry without a main event.
Speaking to Nomundo Dos Lutas, Fabyola said:

“The fight is close and for the sake of professionalism we can not accept it. We always do our best, but there is only a few weeks [until the fight] and it wouldn’t be fair on the fans to put in a bad performance.”

Contrary reports have already surfaced with UFC President, Dana White texting Yahoo! Sports saying Machida has accepted the fight and will be squaring off with Evans on August 6^th in Philadelphia. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this as it unfolds.
