Quote :

"We fought each other in practice. A finish has been possible several times and it has always been me finishing him. I never did it out of respect that he was the elder of the school. It's against protocol in a way. Some people would do it but I believe in tradition. He has a lot to study. I have a lot to study, but I get to study[ing] more in-depth. He gets to study[ing] and gets a headache."

This is gonna get good lol.

Agreed. I think he posed the biggest threat to Jones because of his wrestling and speed.

I laughed. Well played.

It starts, Jonny Bones Jones is even methodical in his trash talk, it really isn't trash talk if it is true, and if it is Rashad knows that the same thing could happen again and this time Jones won't stop.

Jon Jones' true character is coming out more and more.

I hope Rashad ko's him like he did chuck.

No.1 contender Rashad Evans responds to UFC Light-Heavyweight champ and former training partner Jon Jones claims of constantly getting the better of Rashad in training at Greg Jackson's MMA. Jones told ESPN.com that he had several times to finish Evans during pratice but never did out of respect. Rashad Evan tweets:

@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!

@jonnybones is a Swagger Jacker!

@jonnybones it's been on!! Get off your own fan bus cuz nobody is driving!! U ain't as raw as u believe & I'm gonna show ya!!

@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.

Jon Jones replies:

@SugaRashadEvans #cmonson

MMA coach, Greg Jackson: "I think everybody has the tools to win. Rashad (Evans) certainly does. If "Rampage" (Jackson) catches you with a big punch he's got the tools. Everybody's got the tools to win."

Striking coach, Mike Winkeljohn: "I love Rashad (Evans) to death. I think he’s much better than people even know. He could be scary for Jon. He has the tools to beat Jon Jones."

Former Strikeforce champ, Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal: "Every man can be beaten. Without a doubt I can beat Jon Jones. I know I can beat Jon Jones. He's a good fighter, but all it takes is a good game plan, a good camp and I know I would win. My brother Rashad got the tools to beat him too. Rashad's going to beat him."

I cant wait for this fight.

what is "# cmonson"?

Come on son

I saw footage of themsparring once and rashad was getting inside with regularity. I think it was when jones first joined jackson's camp though, but it definitely looked like Evans could land.

i knew this was coming gotta love rashad lol.
