UFC light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans said Monday it appears that Lyoto Machida will be the one standing across from him at UFC 98 in Las Vegas on May 23.

"As I learned, 'Rampage' might need time off," Evans said on Sherdog's "Beatdown" radio show. "It'll probably be Lyoto Machida, but I haven't gotten a confirmation on that."

Coming into this past Saturday Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Machida were both in the running for the title shot and Evans' opponent at UFC 98 would be determined by the result of Jackson vs. Keith Jardine.

Jackson won the unanimous decision over Evans' teammate, but was expecting the title bout to happen at UFC 100 on July 11. Due to Frank Mir's injury, the UFC decided to push Evans' title defense earlier and move Brock Lesnar vs. Mir 2 to the summer, most likely at UFC 100.

"Damn," Jackson said at the post-fight conference, according to Yahoo! Sports. "I'll do anything for [UFC president] Dana [White]. I had plans to go on a vacation and find an Asian girl and fly first class, stay in a hut and tell her how I was going to win the light-heavyweight title. Now it looks like I have to get my ass back to England to train in two weeks."

A fight for Jackson in May would be his third in five months.

The UFC built the entire UFC 96 pay-per-view telecast around the assumption that a Jackson victory would make official Evans vs. Jackson at UFC 98, but afterwards, UFC president Dana White acknowledged the possibility the fight may not happen.

"We still have to make sure Quinton is 100 percent," White said. "It's not a done deal. Quinton has to go get something checked out, make sure he's 100 percent healthy. If he is, that'll be the fight. If not, it'll be Lyoto Machida."
 
Hope not...I was looking forward to Rampage getting back his title
 
Either fight ill pay to see it!
 
Is anyone shocked at how popular the Light heavy class is? More great fighters, more athleticism, and more interest from the public.
 
I don't know about you guys, but I've been waiting to see someone kick rashad's ass. That someone is going to be machida. Machida is a machine... probably the most coordinated/skilled UFC fighter to come along in a long time.

Well i like RAMPAGE and Machida both pretty cool tho i do miss Rampage's ruthless pride style slamming and personality but ahhh well...id like to see either KO Rashad. BUT I will say tho i dont like him Evans is damn good and could do the same to either one of them as well!

Yeah rampage is cool, but I've been waiting to see machida get a shot at the title for a while. Rampage will get a shot at the belt soon, anyways, if machida and evans fight. And, I'd rather see evans get KOed by Machida just for my own viewing pleasure ;) Rashad's had it too easy... he was almost killed by chuck lidell, and only got a lucky shot in for the KO. I haven't liked rashad since.

I agree!

I am not a Rashad fan, but I just watched the fight with Liddell and I would not say he was getting killed. Chuck was the one banged up, while Rashad kept his cool, was never in any sort of trouble and then knocked Liddels head off.

Machida is the best fighter in the UFC. He looks even better than Silva, IMHO.

I agree, Machida is a step up. It will be hard to beat him.
