Rashad Evans eyeing a potential fight with Maurcio 'Shogun' Rua

'Suga' Rashad Evans is trying to find his way back to the winning track in the UFC. The fighter, now 36 years of age, returned from a near two-year injury layoff in October to battle Ryan Bader at UFC 192, but was unable to do much and ultimately dropped a unanimous decision loss.

Now the UFC light heavyweight is out to find his next opponent and opportunity to fight.

According to Ariel Helwani on UFC Tonight, Evans would like a bout with Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua next. One of Evans' managers, Ali Abdel-Aziz, reportedly tells Helwani he and Evans have formally asked the UFC for the bout.
