With Rashad Evans pulling out of the co-main event fight against Daniel Cormier citing a knee injury he was expecting to resume training within 4 weeks. Evans yesterday announced that in fact it will actually be much longer. He will require knee surgery which was the advice given by Dr. Robert Kvitne in Los Angeles and is expected to be out of action for 6 months.
“I am deeply disappointed to be missing the action at UFC 170. But I am, as always, incredibly grateful for the support of my family, friends, management, the UFC, and most of all my fans during this minor setback. Thank you for your continued messages of support. I’ll be back stronger than ever!”
