The most loaded lineup in UFC history just became a little bit less so.
The UFC 205 middleweight matchup between former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans and Tim Kennedy is off due to an issue with Evans' medical work. MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani confirmed an initial Tuesday report by ESPN.com.
The 37-year-old Evans (19-5-1) was slated to make his light heavyweight debut after losing two straight fights. He hasn't won a fight since defeating Chael Sonnen at UFC 167. According to a source, an undisclosed medical issue came up in Evans' testing, and the New York State Athletic Commission chose to keep Evans out of the fight as a precautionary measure.
