Rashad Evans visits with Miami Dolphins
In advance of his fight this weekend, UFC on FOX 19 headliner Rashad Evans stopped by the Miami Dolphins training facility to get in some extra work in.
Evans - who fights out of the Blackzilian camp in nearby Boca Raton, Fla. - swapped workout tips with quarterback Ryan Tannehill, Pro Bowl defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, and head coach Adam Gase:

Now an analyst for FOX Sports in addition to his in-cage responsibilities, Evans couldn't help but assess Suh's chances of making a move to MMA.
"I think Ndamukong Suh would be a good transition athlete," Evans told ESPN. "He has that mental mindset where he can hit the switch, and that's what it takes to be a fighter. I think he would be good at it."
Given Suh's history of on-field altercations, maybe having him spend time with a UFC fighter isn't such a great idea:
Evans faces Glover Teixeira at UFC on FOX 19 on Saturday in Tampa, Fla.
