Sometimes, the toughest guys in the world act, you know, a little wimpy.
Rashad Evans is a little pouty these days.He’lll fight for Jones’ belt sometime later this year and Evans isn’t shy about letting the world knows he feels betrayed by Jones’ decision to consider the fight.
Though they’ve maintained for well over a year that they would never fight each other, each man had to know that, at some point, it was inevitable. But as recently as Oct. 23, Jones was insisting Fighting Rashad is the last thing I’d ever want to do.
Do you believe for a moment that these men didn’t think that at some point as they were training together at Jackson’s Submission Fighting in Albuquerque, N.M., that they’d be in the position where the UFC was demanding they’d have to fight?
Yet, Evans has been whining about Jones’ comments in a nationally televised interview on Versus in which he opened the door a crack regarding a fight with Evans. Jones said he wouldn’t say no if White insisted upon the match.
Evans called Jones’ comments in the Versus interview some backstabbing s— and said he felt so f—— utterly disrespected.
Evans’ feelings aside, the truth is that it’s a good thing for MMA.
They should see it as a business opportunity. The relationship between them is going to be a big part of the buildup of their fight, and it will help sell more tickets and more pay-per-views. The result is that the fighters will wind up making more money.
And that, after all, is why they do this.
