Rashad Evans suffered one of the biggest setbacks of his career when he dropped a split decision to the unranked Dan Kelly at UFC 209 this past weekend.

Evans, a former UFC light heavyweight champion and top-ranked talent, went back-and-forth with Kelly for three rounds but couldn't find his rhythm.

The loss — Evan's third straight — has prompted many pundits to question his future in the sport, with many questions looming over 'Suga's' legitimacy as a top contender in MMA's premiere promotion.

Evans, though, says he has no plans to retire and is more hungry than ever to snap his losing streak.
