The same medical issue that prevented Rashad Evans from competing at UFC 205 will also keep him from facing Tim Kennedy at UFC 206 next month.
The Las Vegas-based promotion recently released a statement announcing that the Ontario Athletic Commission has declined to approve Evans for a license to fight at UFC 206 in Toronto. As a result, his matchup with Kennedy has been removed from the card. Evans and Kennedy were initially slated to square off at the Las Vegas-based organization’s New York debut on Nov. 12, but the same medical issue led to the middleweight bout being scrapped then as well.
