The UFC light heavyweight title isn’t the first belt that ‘Suga’ Rashad Evans has won in his career. Back in 2004, in the first year of Evans pro career, a much smaller looking ‘Suga’ Rashad took on Jaime Jara for the Gladiator Challenge light heavyweight crown in Colusa, California.
In this fight with Jara, the second of the evening, Evans shows off his cockiness throughout the fight while sporting a swollen right eye. For fans of the former UFC champ, who takes on Jon Jones for the title this month at UFC 145, this is an entertaining look at his early career.
Check out Evans first bout of the four man tournament versus Hector Ramirez after the jump.
