The Ultimate Fighter Season 2 winner Rashad Evans was set to make his middleweight debut against Tim Kennedy at UFC 205, however a report came out on Tuesday that the fight was cancelled.
According to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, UFC President Dana White confirmed that due to medical reasons, the Evans and Kennedy bout has been scrapped from Saturday’s giant New York City fight card.
With Dana White right now, tells me Evans/Kennedy is off due to an issue with Evans's medicals. More info to come.
