Jones’ manager, Malki Kawa, insists that’s simply not true. In fact, he believes Jones’ opponent, Rashad Evans, likely could have earned the same deal should he have wanted.
“I don’t think that anybody is favoring anybody,” Kawa told MMAjunkie.com. “They’re not that type of guys, at all. It’s not like that. My experience with them has been that they’re as fair across the board.
“From what I understand, Alistair Overeem is going to be wearing UFC gear, as well. Overeem’s manager is Rashad’s manager. It’s not like Rashad’s manager didn’t have the opportunity to put Rashad in it. I’m sure if Rashad had wanted to wear UFC gear, they’d have been happy to put him in it, too. It was just our decision to do what we wanted to do.”
