It will have been four and a half years between visits for the UFC when this July 30 event takes place, and is just their third event ever in the venue. Their previous trips were both coincidentally headlined by Rashad Evans fights, as Evans knocked out Chuck Liddell in the main event of UFC 88 in 2008, and lost a decision to Jon Jones at UFC 145 in April of 2012.
