Rashad Evans’ 53-second loss at UFC 225 could turn out to be the final Octagon appearance of his legendary career.
Evans suffered a nasty first-round knockout loss to Anthony Smith on Saturday night at UFC 225, a setback which extended his current losing streak to five straight. Afterward, UFC president Dana White said that he spoke to Evans in the aftermath of the Smith fight, and he indicated that Evans could be at the end of his 13-year run with the promotion.
“When he lost, I had him come back to my room,” White said at Saturday’s UFC 225 post-fight press conference.
