With yesterday’s news pitting UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones against Chael Sonnen, former division title holder Rashad Evans was on hand to give his opinion on the announcement during last nights ‘UFC Tonight’ program on Fuel TV. Evans is coming off of a loss to Jones last April at UFC 145.
“For the most part, I commend the UFC for making the fights happen that the people love to see. But as a fighter, I was like, ‘man, what’s it gonna take for me to get a chance to get back up in there?’ I wanted to fight Anderson, but it didn’t end up happening because they said I needed one more fight to be a contender at middleweight. But I guess it’s not the same for everybody.”
