On Friday night in Las Vegas, Evans was giving his acceptance speech at the Palms Hotel as the former UFC light heavyweight champion joined the Hall of Fame class of 2019 when the entire room started moving.
It didn’t take Evans long to figure out that an earthquake was rolling through Las Vegas after originating near Ridgecrest, Calif., which is approximately 240 miles away from “Sin City”.
According to reports, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit near Ridgecrest just a day after a 6.4 magnitude quake rocked the same area. A second earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale occurred just after the initial earthquake in California.
