Rashad Evans picked up a much needed victory at UFC 161, rejoining the ranks of the elite light heavyweights.
It is unlikely that Evans earned a title shot with the win, but in the current state of the division, it is certainly an option. The rematch would be marketable.
Jon Jones is currently slated to defend the UFC strap against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165 in September. An immediate rematch between Evans and Jones would have to come by way of a Gustafsson injury or post-fight trash talk.
While the instant rematch is unlikely, it remains a possibility. Here is a look at how the fight would break down for the second go-around.
