In an effort to shake things up and break out of a career-worst three-fight skid, the former UFC light heavyweight champion recently moved his camp from sunny Boca Raton to New Jersey. If that wasn’t enough of a change for Evans, he also fights south of the border for the first time when he takes on Sam Alvey in a middleweight bout at UFC Fight Night 114 in Mexico City on Saturday.
This wasn’t all part of some grand plan for “Suga,” but he’s welcomed getting the chance for a fresh start even if the journey has had some bumps.
