For fans of mixed martial arts, this past week has been a slow crawl of steadily rising anticipation for tonight's "Evans vs. Davis" event, going down at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
UFC on FOX 2 will feature a light heavyweight title eliminator bout pitting "Suga" Rashad Evans against one of the division's brightest prospects in "Mr. Wonderful," Phil Davis.
In the co-main event of the evening, Chael Sonnen is back to go on the attack and this time his venom will be directed at British bad boy Michael Bisping. In the final network broadcasted fight, middleweights Demian Maia and Chris Weidman will hit the mats in a 185-pound showcase.
It's been a flurry of non-stop news, analysis, quotes, predictions and previews for the past week and it's certainly understandable if you missed out on a few stories.
But don't worry, Maniacs, we've got you covered.
