UFC on FOX 19 was probably one of the lowest points of Rashad Evan's career. The former light heavyweight champion, who captured promotional gold in 2008 at UFC 92, was knocked out by Glover Teixeira in the first two minutes of the opening round

It marked his second straight loss and the second KO loss of his career ("Suga" was knocked out and dethroned by Lyoto Machida at UFC 98).

The Blackzilian fighter admitted to feeling dejected in the post-fight press conference and said he wasn't sure where his career was headed.
