The Sunday Junkie: May 30 edition

One of the biggest feuds in recent MMA history is in the books following Saturday’s UFC 114 event, but MMAjunkie.com readers are still reeling after Rashad Evans’ decision victory over Quinton Jackson in the night’s headliner.

The reactions have ranged from praise to disappointment to outrage. However, this week’s winner of The Sunday Junkie, our weekly reader-feedback feature, thinks the outcome can be boiled down to one factor: mental toughness.

Pittsburgh-based reader “juls” said that despite all the trash-talk, Evans vs. Jackson came down to one fighter’s ability to fight intelligently and strategically when it mattered most.
