Shad beat Davis with 3 broken ribs

“Going into that fight I wanted to make sure I negated Phil’s wrestling ability. He has a high level of wrestling and I thought I could out wrestle him so that’s what I was trying to do. That whole camp was a tough camp for me about a week before the fight I broke three ribs sparring. I broke three ribs so I was like you know what I’m just gonna go out there and see what happens.”

Genius!

damn, I was impressed with the way he wrestle fucked and crucified Davis over and over again, this just adds to the impressiveness, I have been thinking for a long time, Evans is going to be the big test for Jones.

He has a shot and I can't wait. I will roll with Evans, seriously. He is giving to put Jones against the fence and take him down. Rashad Evans is one of the best if not the best at implementing a winning game plan in fights. He does what he knows will win and I think he just may shock everyone

Does he want a medal or something ?

It explains why he wasn't able to finish Davis or put on a better performance. When Randy beat Gonzaga with a broken arm he's a legend. When Shad does something similar you ask if he wants a metal. I am far from a Evans fan, but he damn good and that is impressive to go 5 rounds like that.

I like Evan's but I prefer discretion and fighters who just get on with their job.

also tells me why he his body didn't look as ripped as it did against Tito, I liked in the vid when Shad wasn't shy about telling Jones what side it was as well, as far as wanting a metal we all saw how Anderson fought with 1 broken rib almost lost, Shad went out there and did his thing, he didn't finish him, didn't really try just schooled him from the opening bell to the last. Need to clean up his striking and keep the head movement and he will have a chance.
