The two are former training partners and friends that grew apart when Jones stated his willingness to face Evans even though the two had a pact to not fight one another. Jones ended up beating Mauricio “Shogun” Rua for the title and Evans soon after left Greg Jackson’s camp in order to distance himself from Jones.
