As UFC 205 fight week begins, one fight has been lost from the blockbuster card. UFC president Dana White confirmed to Brett Okamoto of ESPN that Rashad Evans has been pulled from his prelim bout with Tim Kennedy due to an issue with his medicals.

With Dana White right now, tells me Evans/Kennedy is off due to an issue with Evans's medicals. More info to come. — Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 8, 2016

Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com reports that an MRI taken of Evans on October 19th revealed "irregular findings" but that further tests were passed.

"I'm disappointed," Evans said to MMAFighting.com. "I'm healthy. I don't want anyone worrying about me. I'm fine, physically speaking. Never felt better. It's just the commission and their rules. I guess they have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to this."

Evans last fought in April when he suffered a KO defeat to Glover Teixeira at UFC on FOX 19.

The former UFC light heavyweight champion has lost his last two fights and holds an overall 19-5-1 MMA record.
