Jon Jones (left) and Rashad evans (dir) were teammates
The light heavyweights Rashad evans e Jon Jones they were teammates for years, but the athletes' good relationship ended in early 2011. After Jones won the UFC belt, knocking out the Brazilian Mauricio Shogun, in March, Evans was ready to face the champion even though both were trained by the great Greg Jackson. Shortly after the challenge, Rashad left the Jackson Mixed Martial Arts team and the provocations between the athletes were constant in their interviews.
Now after Evans beat Tito Ortiz at UFC 133, held last Saturday (6), the fighter sent his message to his former teammate.
“I would like to teach you a lesson,” he said. “If he goes through Rampage (Jones' next opponent), so I have the chance to do that, but like I said, he has a tough fight ahead of him”, added Rashad.
“Jon is a tough guy, he's the current champion, but I know where he's weak. He also knows where I have weaknesses, but let's see who exploits the flaws first,” said Evans, who did not fail to analyze the fight between Jones and Quinton.Rampage” Jackson, which takes place in September.
"Rampage he moves like Frankenstein, but I think if he manages to hit him, he can put Jones to sleep”, he said. "I think that Rampage I should come and train with my team for this fight”, added Evans, who currently trains at Imperial Athletics, the same gym as Brazilians Gesias Cavalcante, Jorge Santiago and the Villefort brothers.
