Career

Mixed martial arts career

Evans became a 7-time Alaska State Freestyle and Greco-Roman champion in amateur wrestling competition.[2] Evans made his professional MMA debut in February 1999. He quickly established an impressive 6-1 record while fighting in his native Alaska and one fight in California. This drew the attention of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and he was signed with the company in 2007.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Evans made his UFC debut in June 2007, fighting Roger Huerta at The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale.[3] He lost the fight via TKO.

In his second UFC fight, Evans faced Mark Bocek at UFC 79.[4] He lost the fight via unanimous decision and was subsequently released from the promotion.

Lethwei

In June 2001, Evans was matched against Lethwei World Champion Wan Chai at the "International Myanmar traditional boxing challenge & Myanmar-Australia talent testing boxing competition" in Yangon, Myanmar. In he first round, Evans was dropped to the floor with a knee strike to the lower abdomen while clinching[5] and lost by referee stoppage (TKO).[1][6] Evans later claimed he was kneed in the groin by Wan Chai, however the official did not see the strike and TKO remained.[7]
