the american Rashad evans He still doesn't know when he'll return to the octagon. However, the former light heavyweight champion refused to face the Brazilian Glover Teixeira at UFC Rio 3, an event that takes place on October 13th, in the capital of Rio de Janeiro. The revelation was made by the fighter himself, who, having just a few weeks to prepare, preferred to say “no” to the organizers.
“I don’t know when I’ll fight again. I spoke to Dana (White) earlier this week and we talked about a possible return in December. But I'm thinking maybe it would be better in January or February. I will fight anyone. I want a light heavyweight fight. They offered me a fight, but it was against Glover Teixeira and I only had three weeks to fight and I wasn't trained. I said something like, “No way, I’m not going to fight him in Brazil,” Evans told UFC Tonight.
Rashad challenged for the light heavyweight belt against Jon Jones at UFC 144, in April, but after being surpassed by his former teammate, the North American even considered moving down to the middleweight division and facing the Brazilian Anderson Silva, owner of the category belt
