Tonya Evinger injured, out of UFC Austin fight vs. Marion Reneau

There’s bad news concerning recent UFC title challenger Tonya Evinger. The former Invicta FC bantamweight champion is injured and out of her February showdown with Marion Reneau at UFC Fight Night: Austin. FanSided’s Amy Kaplan first reported the story on Tuesday. UFC officials have yet to announce anything with regards to this fight, but these two tweets pretty much give away that Evinger-Reneau is off.

Sucks! For both of us! Everybody in top 15 have bouts... except @Amanda_Leoa ! You down to scrap? https://t.co/WFCtYiJJxx

Evinger (19-6) challenged for the UFC women’s featherweight belt last year, losing to Cris Cyborg by third-round TKO at UFC 214.
