Rashad Evans eyes March UFC return against Thales Leites, blames radiologist for costing him UFC 205 fight

It’s been a rough couple of months for former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans, who was bounced from his middleweight debut at UFC 205 on Nov. 12, 2016, which was to be against Tim Kennedy inside Madison Square Garden in New York due to irregularities with an MRI scan of his brain.

Soon thereafter, the bout was re-booked to go down at UFC 206 a few weeks later, but Ontario Athletic Commission (OAC) refused to license him for the same reason.

Evans, however, adamantly claimed he was 100-percent healthy.
