Rashad Evans out of fight with Tim Kennedy again due to commission issue

The former UFC light heavyweight champion is out of his fight with Tim Kennedy at UFC 206 on Dec. 10 in Toronto, Kennedy told Ariel Helwani on Monday's episode of The MMA Hour. Evans' manager Ali Abdel-Aziz confirmed to Helwani in a subsequent interview that the fight was indeed off.

Kennedy said the Office of the Athletics Commission in Ontario stopped Evans from getting a license to compete in the province, much like the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) would not license him in its state for UFC 205 earlier this month.
