The ongoing feud between UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones and current Light Heavyweight contender Rashad Evans has begun to trend online again.
As Jones wraps up final preparations for his upcoming title bout against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 135, the 24-year-old has posted a new picture on his Twitter account to reveal the progress.
“219lbs and battle ready,” Jones wrote.
Evans replied shortly after and would proceed to mock Jones and his photo.
“Hand on the hip! U go girl! Go “Battle”! U look fierce like Bruno!!,” Evans said.
The verbal sparring is nothing new between the former teammates, however their recent attempts have appeared to be entertaining.
Evans was last seen at UFC 133 where he put on a dominant performance against Tito Ortiz, en route to a second-round TKO stoppage. “Suga” will now await the winner of Jones and Jackson, with a future bout to commence early next year.
With all that has transpired between Jones and Evans, a matchup is likely to culminate sooner or later, in a bout fans have been anticipating for awhile.
