In his first fight at 185 pounds, former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight king Rashad Evans will meet former Strikeforce title contender Tim Kennedy at UFC 205 on Nov. 12 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. The bout was confirmed by MMA Fighting earlier today (Fri. Sept. 9, 2016).
The middleweight collision was rumored last month, but it now seems like it will become a reality on the biggest stage in sports. As UFC makes its move to host the first ever event in MSG, a New York native like Evans is a key ingredient for UFC 205's success.
