Evans suffered one the toughest blows of his career in his most recent octagon outing, when a UFC 209 split-decision loss to Daniel Kelly added a third defeat to his skid. The scrap was also Evans’ middleweight debut after a more than decade-long UFC run that started at heavyweight and saw “Suga” taking the 205-pound title along the way. Looking back on the close call with Kelly, Evans (19-6-1 MMA, 14-6-1 UFC)  doesn’t think the cut was the problem. If anything, he felt like he was finally in a proper weight division. Which is why the key for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 114 middleweight encounter with Sam Alvey (30-9 MMA, 7-4 UFC) – and others that may follow – lies somewhere other than his body.
