If it wasn't for Michael Bisping wining the UFC middleweight title, Tim Kennedy may have never returned to MMA competition.
The 37-year-old fighter is resuming his MMA career to face Rashad Evans in a middleweight bout at UFC 205 in New York this November. Kennedy hasn't fought in two years, as the last time he set foot inside the octagon was against Yoel Romero at UFC 178, where he lost via technical knockout. Since then, Kennedy was discontent with the sport and stopped competing, but said he would be open for a comeback if the perfect opportunity presented itself.
