The previous mild heavyweight champion has been schooling for months to prepare for his debut at 185 kilos. Evans had no means faced any struggles being licensed for combat previous to the message he acquired before his scheduled bout with Tim Kennedy.

Evans later discovered it turned into an anomaly on an MRI that turned into taken ahead of his fight that triggered concern for the Commission in NY and While the Ontario Fee refused to license him for the equal problem some weeks later at UFC 206, he started to assume his profession can be over.
“I by no means felt a lot at the mercy of the other human beings in my complete life, and it’s a completely humbling component,” Evans informed FOX Sports in advance of UFC 209. “I skilled so difficultly, and I positioned the paintings in and that I did the whole lot I may want to do on my give up, but then I had to sit again and be advised that I can’t fight. Then I used to be told that I may in no way fight once more. It turned into hard to cope with. For the final 14 years or so, I’ve been a fighter for seeing you later. I forgot what it’s like to now not have this as my biggest shape of expression of who I’m.

“For a brief 2nd, I used to be like it may be over, and I was in denial for a long time. I couldn’t agree that it was, in reality, happening that I used to be now not going to fight. That it turned into now not clearing up. I was in denial for some time. Then I was given a chance to combat in Toronto, after which it passed off in Toronto, where they didn’t even supply me a second look. Even if they instructed me I couldn’t fight in NY, I was waiting for them to be like, ‘oh, we’re simply kidding.’ they have been like, ‘Ny stated no, so we’re pronouncing no.’ It becomes a helpless feeling.”
