What is Rashad Evans’s career?
After winning five out of five professional mixed martial arts fights in 2004, Evans was picked to compete on “The Ultimate Fighter 2,” the second season of the Spike TV reality series “The Ultimate Fighter.” He fought as a heavyweight alongside Keith Jardine, Brad Imes, and Seth Petruzelli. Evans won the season after defeating Imes in a split decision in the final. His prize was a three-year, six-figure UFC deal and a new automobile.
Following “The Ultimate Fighter 2,” Evans moved down to the light heavyweight class. He went on to win his first UFC bout under his new deal in April 2006, defeating Sam Hoger via submission. Evans followed with an emphatic victory over Stephan Bonnar, Jason Lambert, and Sean Salmon.
At UFC 73, he met Tito Ortiz, who challenged him; the fight ended in a draw. Unable to earn a rematch soon after, Evans made his headliner debut at UFC 78, defeating “Ultimate Fighter 3” winner Michael Bisping by split decision.
A year later, he stunned everyone by defeating UFC superstar Chuck Liddell at UFC 88. This paved the way for Evans’ participation at UFC 92, where he challenged Forrest Griffin for the UFC Light Heavyweight title.
After laboring through the first two rounds, Evans rallied in the third to win the match and become the new Light Heavyweight Champion. However, he quickly lost the title against Lyoto Machida, marking his first loss of his career.
Evans faced Thiago Silva at UFC 108 in early 2010, and won the fight by unanimous decision. He then faced Quinton Jackson at UFC 114, and won by unanimous decision. After defeating Tito Ortiz in a rematch at UFC 133, Evans earned a championship chance against Jon Jones to reclaim the Light Heavyweight belt.
However, a chronic thumb injury prevented him from fighting, and he was replaced by Lyoto Machida. Jones eventually retained the title. Evans finally met Jones at UFC 145 in 2012, but he lost by unanimous decision. He improved in subsequent battles, defeating Dan Henderson and Chael Sonnen, before being sidelined for much of 2014 and 2015 due to injuries.
Evans made his comeback at UFC 192, but lost to Ryan Bader. For most of 2016, he was sidelined due to health and medical issues. Evans returned to the ring in 2017 and lost to fighters like Dan Kelly and Sam Alvey. In the opening round of UFC 225 in 2018, he was knocked out by Anthony Smith. Evans eventually confirmed his retirement from MMA.
In 2019, it was claimed that Evans had been freed by the UFC in order to return from retirement for another organization. A few years later, he revealed that he would be competing in Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Eagle Fighting Championship. Evans made his comeback fight at Eagle FC 44 in early 2022, defeating Gabriel Checco by unanimous decision.
