The UFC FIghter’s Summit is a time for fighters to learn the intricacies of social networking, visa issues,, tax paying, and a host of other critical issues. It is also a time to hit the Vegas nightclubs.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones and former champion ‘divorced’ training partner Rashad Evans, ran into each other at Surrender, a club in Encore in Las Vegas.
UFC standouts Jon Jones and Rashad Evans got into a heated squabble that turned physical at Surrender night at Encore late Wednesday night. Vegas Confidential learned the incident took place near the table of UFC champ George St. Pierre at Surrender. St. Pierre ordered Jones and Evans, former friends who trained together, to take it elsewhere before things got ugly. Jones and Evans, who have been having words of late, walked away to hash out their differences.
This is the latest chapter in their soured friendship. Evans and Jones trained together until Evans was injured before a planned title bout. Jones was given that bout, won the belt and then said he would fight Evans, going against what the two had previously agreed upon. Since then, they’ve had a war of words through the media that bubbled over at Surrender. Everyone was said to have left with a smile, so it must not have ruined their evenings.
