Bones Jones has no interest in facing Rashad Evans

Neither wants to face the other. It'll be interesting if 1 is the champ and the other the #1 contender to see what they'd do.

Was interesting to hear Greg Jackson tell Jones I don't want you using my tactics against other team mates.

Good. Both can lose to Shogun then go their separate ways

Jon Jones will beat Rua in 2 years time.

Bones will get a title shot next year.

I think Shogun is going to have a tough time coming back in for a 5 round fight after his injury, the first time he came back he ended up getting worked by Forrest. I guess it just shows how much you want to be the greatest, to say you would sit back and let your teamate defend the belt, makes me wonder why you are in the game in the first place.

Shogun isn't gonna need 5 rounds to tag Glass Joe with a straight left and put him on queer street

That all really does worry me. Knee surgery is no joke. I hope he gained something from his past experiences, enough to mitigate any lingering effects. Skill needs an able vassal.

True. I really hope it doesn't take him a long time to get back in form like it did previously. If he was facing someone who wouldn't get rocked by bumping into someone's knee I might actually been worried

Yeah if he hits Rashad he is going down, but if he can't get it off cause he is laying on his back and does not have the explosiveness it will take to avoid the takedown, laynpray to the title.

Rashad can never hold people down once he gets them there though. Shogun will get off his back going for leg locks and shit. Unless he just looks miserable I don't think he'll have too many problems
