Tim Kennedy will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon at UFC 205 on Nov. 12, 2016, when he faces Rashad Evans at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York (full details here). It’s a fight that will see Kennedy welcome his former Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA stablemate to the Middleweight division after spending the majority of his career at Light Heavyweight.
According to Kennedy, the fight came to be after "Suga" personally requested to fight him at 185 pounds, something that surprised Tim given their history. As he told "The MMA Hour," Kennedy doesn’t know why he did it, but if Evans thinks he’ll have an advantage over him based on a specific training camp they worked together, he’s got another thing coming.
