An emotional Tonya Evinger confirmed that she will not be fighting Marion Reneau at UFC Fight Night 126 later this year.
Evinger, a former Invicta FC champion who fought Cris Cyborg late in 2017 for the UFC featherweight title, first stated simply “Fml” on social media with two crying emoticons.
Fml ??

The loss of facing Evinger struck Reneau hard, but she also took the chance to make a call-out of current UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes with the news.
Again….!!!?

Reneau is coming off a third-round TKO victory this past September over Talita Bernardo. She is 2-0-1 over her last three fights, with the majority draw coming vs. Bethe Correia.
