Rashad Evans is on schedule to return from knee surgery this September, and the former UFC light heavyweight champion already has an opponent in mind.
According to a report on Wednesday’s edition of UFC Tonight, Evans is targeting a matchup with Ryan Bader when he reaches full health. Bader had been angling for a showdown with Daniel Cormier, but with the current 205-pound king booked for a bout against Alexander Gustafsson later this year, the Power MMA Team product’s title hopes have been put on hold.
