UFC 114 preview: Evans’ psychological campaign succeeds against “Rampage”

For the first time in his UFC career, Rashad Evans has put his
bachelor’s degree in psychology to good work as he and Quinton “Rampage”
Jackson this year went from respectful colleagues to heated rivals.

“Oh yeah,” Evans told MMAjunkie.com with a knowing grin as he shuttled to an interview
after staring Jackson down at Wednesday’s UFC 114
pre-fight press conference.

In the background, a title shot looms for the winner of Saturday’s
grudge match. But the road there has generated some of the best
outside-the-cage entertainment in UFC history.
