A recent report from mixedmartialarts.com has pinned down some details on the whereabouts of former champion Rashad Evans next move in his endeavor to set up shop outside the Jackson Camp for the first time since winning The Ultimate Fighter reality show.
The Report reads as follows:
When a knee injury forced Rashad Evans out of a title shot against then champion, fellow Jackson's MMA teammate Jon Jones took his place. After Jones took the throne, a match with #1 contender Evans was inevitable. Evans felt betrayed and disrespected and publicly left Jackson's, vowing "I'm going to create my own camp from here on out."
"Jones can have whoever he wants. Take Mike Winkeljohn. Take Greg Jackson. He can have whoever he wants and take the entire team" said Evans. "Like I said it doesn't matter anymore and it is what it is ... I stay thirsty baby and I'm not going to let my little brother spank my ass that's for sure."
Fans immediately wondered where the new camp would be. The answer is Boca Raton, Florida, at Imperial Athletics.
Rashad Evans, Mike van Arsdale, Baltimore Raven Ray Lewis and the rest of the camp are already gathering for what promises to be an epic showdown.
