So close.
UFC 205 -- which is set to pop off this weekend (Sat., Nov. 12, 2016) from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City — hadn’t been impacted too drastically by injuries, United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) or other unforeseen circumstances in the lead up to the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) event in recent memory.
But, with just four days until fight night, Rashad Evans was forced out of his scheduled fight against Tim Kennedy — which was set for the preliminary portion of the event on FOX Sports 1 -- due to issues with his medicals.
