Jon Jones: Evans ‘Too Close’ To Rumble To Train With Me

It’s no secret that returning pound-for-pound king and former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones doesn’t have the best relationship with reigning title holder Daniel “DC” Cormier. The two possess one of the deepest rivalries in the history of the sport which Jones temporary settled with a unanimous decision victory back at January 2015’s

The two possess one of the deepest rivalries in the history of the sport which Jones temporary settled with a unanimous decision victory back at January 2015’s UFC 182.

After running into trouble with the law last April, however, Jones was stripped of his title and Cormier secured the vacant strap at UFC 187.

Originally scheduled to rematch at this weekend’s (April 23, 2016) UFC 197, Jones will now meet No. 6-ranked Ovince St. Preux after Cormier was forced to withdraw with an injury.

Despite the delay, “Bones” and “DC” will most certainly meet in the near future, as their rivalry has only heightened in the previous weeks.

Looking back on Jones’ historic career, it’s also interesting to remember his rivalry with former training partner and former champion “Suga” Rashad Evans, a rivalry that came years before that of Jones and Cormier.

After a hectic build-up, Jones took a unanimous decision over Evans at UFC 145 in 2012. Years later, however, “Bones” is finally confident to say that bad blood is no more between he and “Suga”:

“I think it’s safe to say my beef with Rashad is gone,” Jones told FOX Sports on Thursday. “I won that fight when we fought so if anyone were to have hurt feelings, I’d imagine it would be him.

“Me and Rashad had really great moments before our drama started and those moments both me and him will remember. It was good times.”

As far as whether or not the two will ever train together again, Jones feels as if Evans is ‘too close’ to top 205 pound contender Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, a man “Bones” will likely meet in the future:

“As far Rashad coming down to Jackson’s, I think he’d be a tremendous training partner, but at the same time I think he’s a little too close to Anthony Johnson,” Jones explained.

Despite their rivalry being put to rest, it doesn’t appear as if the two light heavyweight legends will ever test each other in the training room again.

A torn ligament in Jones’ thumb has forced the UFC’s light heavyweight champion into surgery. Instead of waiting, Rashad Evans will take a fight against Phil Davis at UFC 133.

Interesting Evans has decided not to wait, as a fight with Phil Davis doesn’t do much for him, but understandably he is taking the fight since he hasn’t been in the Octagon for about a year now when he won his bout against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 114. But the most intriguing part is will the Jones/Evans friendship be repaired? Either way, no doubt we will hear from Rashad Evans soon.

Jon Jones and Rashad Evans Embarrassing Themselves

For a fight that has yet to be scheduled, it’s getting mighty difficult to care about either fighter in the ongoing Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans bitter feud. Both grown men seem as they are less likely hyping their fight and more likely to be so pumped on their own hype that they can’t see […]

For a fight that has yet to be scheduled, it’s getting mighty difficult to care about either fighter in the ongoing Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans bitter feud. Both grown men seem as they are less likely hyping their fight and more likely to be so pumped on their own hype that they can’t see straight.

In the latest exchange between the two fighters, Jon Jones commented to ESPN that he could have finished Evans in training “numerous times.” This obviously irked Evans who took to Twitter with this comeback:

“ @jonnybones must b high! Cuz remember him looking at me begging me 2 let him up cuz he couldn’t get back 2 his feet in training.”

and then also these two:

“@ jonnybones is a Swagger Jacker!”

@ jonnybones will b mma’s version of Milli Vinilli.. Wait until the curtain comes down cuz it will!! he is fake! The fighting is off the hook but as a person he is fake!”

*Editor’s Note: Milli Vanili? Really Rashad? Way to go dating yourself by using a reference to a 1980s pop duo. Probably not the best idea to make you look so much older than your spry young opponent. You couldn’t come back with a more recent fake black person? How about maybe this guy?

But I digress and show you Jon Jones’ clever response:

@ SugaRashadEvans #cmonson

Well, if that doesn’t say it all! Actually, it doesn’t. I had to refer to this definition from Urban Dictionary to understand the massive insulting weight of being called “son”: “to be called son is to be belittled, disrespected!! [Example:] I call you my son cuz ill beat you like your Father.”

The continuous exchange between the two fighters is getting tired. It’s pointless and embarrassing and makes both fighters look like they have their heads so far up their own asses, they can’t see what a little self-respect looks like. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to see this fight, but I like watching fights a whole lot more when I actually give a shit about the fighter. Hopefully both guys remember they are known and liked for their seemingly humbled personas and not this crap. But if they continue with these exchanges… at the very least… can they please be clever?
