Tim Kennedy Says That Rashad Evans Has A Weak Chin

MMA

One of the fights flying under the radar for this November’s UFC 205 card is a middleweight division bout that pits pitting former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans against Tim Kennedy.

Evans will be making his middleweight division debut in this fight, while Kennedy will be fighting for the first time since a controversial loss to Yoel Romero at UFC 178.

Kennedy was recently speaking to the fine folks at The MMA Hour, where he spoke about his perceptions of Evan’s weak chin.

"No, his chin has diminished," Kennedy said. "You know, he can't take the shots he used to. His wrestling, you know, Ryan Bader exposed that he hasn't been putting the work in. He knows I'm going to be moving forward as a wrestler, he knows I'm going to come forward with big heavy hands, so if there is a moment where he makes a mistake, I'm going to capitalize on it and hurt him. And if I touch his chin or put him on his back, he has a fight, and we're going to be in both of those positions. So no, he's not the same fighter he was when he knocked out Chuck Liddell. And I'm the same fighter if not better then I was 5 years ago, so November 12 is going to be tough fight for him."

UFC 205 takes place November 12 from New York City.
