Evans calls for rematch against Lyoto Machida

According to an Oct. 17 report from MMAJunkie.com, Rashad Evans would love the chance to avenge his early-career UFC loss to Lyoto Machida.

Machida handed Evans his first loss in the UFC ranks, with a highlight-reel knockout at UFC 98.

"The guy who I really want to fight more than anything is a guy I lost to, my first loss, and it's Machida," Evans said. "I would love to get a chance to fight Machida again. He looked good against (Ryan) Bader and I want to get that one back. I want to get it back bad. That's the one I really want the most."

Evans hoped to get a fight in the UFC before the end of 2012, but now he says he may be sidelined until early-2013.

"I was hoping in December, by the end of the year, but it looks like it's not going to happen," Evans said. "Maybe in February or March. But who am I going to fight, that's the big question. I can't go down in weight class after a loss to Jones unless it's a special event, unless it's something that really beckons for my calling, and then I'll do it."
