“I’m not going to lie, I was happy for him,” Evans said. “I wanted to see him win. He hadn’t won a fight in five years.”
Evans then paused, perhaps thinking about how long a time that was, then he laughed.
“It was like, ‘There you go!'” he continued. “I just wanted to see him win a fight. I hadn’t seen him do it for so long. Sometimes, it’s good just to be happy for somebody.”

“The challenge kind of got extinguished a little bit,” he said. “He wasn’t staying consistently hot. It was something I thought about back then, but as time went on, I thought about guys who would be more of a challenge. Coming off this win, it’s looking like he’s got a little fire underneath him.

“If he wants to fight, I appreciate him taking the fight, but I’m going to smash him,” Evans continued. “I’ve been training so long, I just want to fight somebody.”
