With a dominatin win over Rampage Jackson, the long delayed showdown is set between ‘divorced’ former teammates Jon Jones and Rashad Evans. With Jones’ shins still sore from last night, it is too early to set a date, but thew talk has started..
“I don’t want to talk about Rashad tonight,” Jones flatly said post fight.
Unfortunately for Jones, everyone else did. Reporters wanted to know. Fans wanted to hear. Even Jackson admitted he couldn’t wait to see the fight.
“I think Rashad is basically the only one that has a chance of beating [Jones] because Rashad trained with him before, so Rashad knows,” Rampage said when asked to evaluate Jones’ future as champ. “I don’t see anybody that can beat Jones, honestly. Rashad said he’s got his number though. That’s what he say. I don’t know. I’m looking forward to seeing that fight now.”
After initially refusing to address his upcoming foe, Jones couldn’t help but comment on Jackson’s assertions.
“I will say this about Rashad: He does not have my number,” Jones retorted. “He’s not even close to having my number.
“We sparred a few times, and every time we sparred, I know what could have happened. He talks about one day at practice where he held me down, and he lives that day in his head everyday. So we’ll see.”
