Is there any source whatsoever for Phil Davis fighting Machida at this event?

Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem

I deleted the mention to this fight, despite another editor putting a notice "do not remove this unless you have credible information that the fight will not take place".

The reason for my deletion is that the only source for this "new" was the site mmabay. However, mmabay is notorious in the community for pubishing fake stories and fantasy fights^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]. I've been following mma for about 3 years, and I've lost count of how many bogus news I've seen there. It makes absolute no sense to publish information from a complete untrustworthy source and claim that it's true until a credible source dismiss it. The burden of proof is upon announcing the news, or everytime a tabloid published a far-fetched tale it would be a "scientific fact" until is was specifically proven false.
