Ortiz - Evans Rematch?

UFC 73 was hardly over when "the Huntington Beach Bad Boy" and his opponent Rashad Evans managed to fight a fourth round in the post-fight press conference. Though this one was strictly of the verbal variety, Ortiz and Evans left no doubt that there should and will be a rematch following their three-round draw at Arco Arena.

After Ortiz and Evans traded pointed comments on the stage, a reporter asked UFC President Dana White if indeed, there would be a rematch.

"Hopefully not in the next three minutes," White said to laughter before confirming the two would fight again.

Carlos Arias, Orange County Register - Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz came within a finger of beating Rashad Evans, but he had to settle for a three-round draw in one of the featured fights at UFC 73 on Saturday night at ARCO Arena.
