Ex-UFC champ Rashad Evans (21-3-1 MMA, 14-3-1 UFC) will undergo surgery this week in Los Angeles to repair a knee injury suffered in training for his now-scrapped bout with Daniel Cormier at Saturday’s UFC 170. Evans’ medical team expects him to be out of action for six weeks, according to a statement released by his team , Blackzilians, but a rep today told MMAjunkie that timeline will be further solidified after the procedure is completed. At this point, the exact nature of Evans’ injury is being withheld, the rep said. “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,” Evans said in a prepared statement.
