View Full Version : UFC 145: Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans
Rory MacDonald vs. Che Mills Slated for UFC 145 in Montreal
Welterweight prospect Rory MacDonald (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/rory/macdonald/1176/) will make his return to the UFC (http://www.mmafighting.com/ufc) in March against Che Mills (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/CheMills/), MMAFighting.com has confirmed with sources close to the fight.
The Canadian MacDonald, who pulled out of his UFC 140 fight against Brian Ebersole (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/brian/ebersole/1209/) last month due to an injury, will meet Mills at UFC 145 on March 24 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
The organization has yet to officially announce its return to "La Belle Province" or any fights on the card.
The 22-year-old MacDonald (12-1) is 3-1 in the UFC, recently defeating Mike Pyle (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/mike/pyle/870/) at UFC 133 (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/UFC+133/) in August via first-round TKO.
Mills (14-4, 1 NC), a British fighter who made his Octagon debut at UFC 138 (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/UFC+138/) last month, has won his last five fights in a row. The former Cage Rage British welterweight champion needed just 40 seconds to beat Chris Cope (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/chris/cope/1567/) in his UFC debut.
Chad Griggs vs. Travis Browne Slated for UFC 145 in March
Chad Griggs' UFC (http://www.mmafighting.com/ufc) debut will come against Travis Browne (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/travis/browne/1515/) at UFC 145, the organization announced (http://www.ufc.com/news/ufc-145-fight-card-updates) over the weekend.
The 33-year-old Griggs (11-1), who also works as a firefighter and paramedic in Arizona, went 3-0 in Strikeforce (http://www.mmafighting.com/strikeforce/) after he was plucked out of obscurity to be another opponent for Bobby Lashley (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/bobby/lashley/1471/) in Aug. 2010. He would go onto beat Lashley, then another prospect in Gian Villante in February, followed by Valentijn Overeem (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/valentijn/overeem/809/) in June.
Zuffa announced (http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/12/15/strikeforce-to-eliminate-heavyweight-division-in-2012/) two weeks ago that Strikeforce's heavyweight division would cease to exist, and just like that, "The Grave Digger," who fought just once between Nov. 2007 and Aug. 2010, was headed to the big show.
Griggs will seemingly have to prove himself all over again when he meets the undefeated Browne (12-0-1), one of the UFC's top heavyweight prospects, in March. "Hapa" is 2-0-1 in the UFC, defeating Stefan Struve (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/stefan/struve/649/) and Rob Broughton (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/rob/broughton/1603/) in his last two fights.
UFC 145 (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/UFC145/) is expected to take place March 24 at Montreal's Bell Centre. The UFC has yet to announce a main event for the card.

Brendan Schaub to Face Ben Rothwell at UFC 145
After suffering a knockout loss in his biggest career bout, Brendan Schaub (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/brendan/schaub/1161/) will attempt to bounce back when he faces Ben Rothwell (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/ben/rothwell/969/) at UFC (http://www.mmafighting.com/ufc) 145 in March 2012.
The UFC confirmed that both heavyweights have verbally agreed to the bout, which will take place during an event at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
Schaub recently saw his four-fight win streak snapped in a first-round knockout loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/antonio-rodrigo/nogueira/272/) at UFC 134 (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/UFC+134/) in Rio de Janeiro. The 6-foot-4 Coloradoan looked good in the early going before getting ciipped, and Nogueira finished him with ground strikes for only his third career KO in over 40 fights.
Prior to that, Schaub (8-2) had put together a nice run, capped by a third-round knockout of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/mirko/filipovic/219/) that vaulted him into contender status.
Rothwell too will be looking to rebound from a loss. Following a long layoff due to a knee injury and subsequent surgery, Rothwell (31-8) returned at September's UFC 135 (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/UFC+135/) and lost a decision to Mark Hunt (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/mark/hunt/735/).
The UFC has yet to officially announce a main event for UFC 145, but other bouts include Rory MacDonald (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/rory/macdonald/1176/) vs. Che Mills and Travis Browne (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/travis/browne/1515/) vs. Chad Griggs. The Bell Centre has been one of the most profitable venues for the promotion in recent years, with the arena briefly holding the North American attendance record, a mark that was later shattered by Toronto's cavernous Rogers Centre.
Hominick vs. Yagin, Bocek vs. Wiman Slated for UFC 145
Canadians Mark Hominick and Mark Bocek will play host to Eddie Yagin and Matt Wiman, respectively, at UFC 145 on March 24 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
The UFC announced Tuesday that verbal agreements are in place for the two bouts.
Featherweight Hominick (20-10) will look to end a two-fight losing streak that began with his unsuccessful title challenge against Jose Aldo in April 2011 and extended with a seven-second knockout loss to Chan-Sung Jung last month.
Yagin (15-5-1) is a Filipino-American out of Hawaii who fell short in his UFC debut last September against Junior Assuncao.
In 2011, Toronto's Bocek (9-4) fought to a decision loss against lightweight title contender Ben Henderson and then bounced back with a win over Nik Lentz.
Wiman (14-6) has won four of his last five fights and in his most recent fight in October, earned a decision over Mac Danzig.
UFC 145 will be the promotion's first event in Canada of 2012 and its first trip back to the Bell Centre since UFC 124: St-Pierre vs. Koscheck 2 in December 2010.
Mac Danzig vs. Efrain Escudero Set for UFC 145
Two former Ultimate Fighter winners are set to clash at UFC 124 in Montreal on March 24.
Mac Danzig, who won Season Six of The Ultimate Fighter, and Efrain Escudero, who won Season Eight of the UFC's reality show, are set to square off in a lightweight bout, the UFC announced on Thursday.
Danzig will be fighting for the first time since losing to Matt Wiman on Oct. 1. That loss was Danzig's fifth in his last seven fights, and there was some talk that Danzig would be released from the promotion. But he'll get at least one more shot to prove he belongs in the Octagon against Escudero, who's also on thin ice with the UFC: Escudero was released by the UFC in 2010 before getting another chance at UFC 141, where he lost to Jacob Volkmann. The loser of Danzig-Escudero is probably done in the UFC.
The Danzig vs. Escudero fight is one of several the UFC announced on Thursday.
-- UFC 145 will also feature Matt Wiman vs. Mark Bocek in a lightweight fight.

benieuwd wat hier de Main Event van wordt. In canada staan er altijd grote toppers in hun main event en aangezien jones in overleg en goedkeuring van dana rond april een gevecht weer mag verwachten kan dit misschien nog wel dit event worden aangezien er buiten UFC 146 geen andere optie is(kan me niet voorstellen dat Jones naar Zweden komt!)
EDIT: Alhoewel ik op een aantal verschillende sites heb gelezen dat er mogelijk Velasquez vs Antonio Silva komt op dit event(lijkt me wel main event waardig)
Dat laatste heb ik idd ook gelezen zal wel een prachtige aanvulling zijn.

wordt UFC 146 nu dan 145? of gaan ze gewoon een nieuwe locatie zoeken en blijven de gevechten die er nu staan gewoon staan?
UFC 145 Card Filling Fast, With Miguel Torres-Michael McDonald Added to Event
Atlanta's UFC 145 has rapidly taken shape over the last 24 hours, with most of the fights originally scheduled for Montreal shifted to the April 21 card.
But it also has some additions. Among the newest bouts signed is a bantamweight tilt with rising star Michael McDonald taking on former WEC champ Miguel Torres. The UFC confirmed the matchup on Friday afternoon.
Just 21 years, McDonald (14-1) is considered one of MMA's brightest lighter weight prospects, and he's won all three of his octagon bouts so far, most recently knocking out Alex Soto in just 56 seconds at UFC 139.
Torres (39-4) is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Nick Pace on the same card. Shortly thereafter, Torres was released from the UFC after making offensive comments on Twitter. Within three weeks, however, Torres had met with company president Dana White, who decided that Torres had shown remorse for his mistake and he was re-signed.
In addition to Torres-McDonald, eight bouts that were supposed to take place on the canceled Montreal show were moved over.
All told, 10 fights have been announced for the show, which is quite conspicuously missing a main event. With light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones recently telling UFC brass he's ready to step back into training, a Jones title defense is a distinct possibility, though the UFC has given no indication of that happening.
The full card as it currently stands is below.
Michael McDonald vs. Miguel Torres
Maximo Blanco vs. Marcus Brimage
Mark Hominick and Eddie Yagin
Rory McDonald vs. Che Mills
Brendan Schaub vs. Ben Rothwell
Mark Bocek vs. Matt Wiman
Travis Browne vs. Chad Griggs
John Makdessi vs. Anthony Njokuani
Mac Danzig vs. Efrain Escudero
Keith Wisniewski vs. Chris Clements
Jon Jones Says He'll Be Ready to Defend Belt by Upcoming Atlanta Event
After four dominant wins in a banner 2011 that saw him ascend to UFC light-heavyweight champion, Jon Jones said he was headed for a long vacation, but after about one month on the sidelines taking care of other business, Jones is ready to begin preparations to get back into the octagon.
During an interview on Friday night's UFC on FX post-fight show, Jones said that he's awaiting his next assignment, which is likely to come in the form of either Rashad Evans, Dan Henderson or Phil Davis.
Asked when he might return, Jones (15-1) said he was "hearing rumors" of a date in Atlanta for what would be UFC 145.
Given the current scheduling situation, Jones is a near lock to be slotted into the card, which will take place on April 21 at Philips Arena. The UFC has already announced 10 bouts for the event, but it is conspicuously missing a headliner.
Jones may know his fate as early as next weekend, when Evans and Davis battle in the main event of UFC on FOX 2. If Evans wins, he has been assured a chance to fight for the belt in a bout that would likely be the grudge match of the year. He would, however, have to come out of the fight injury-free, no sure thing against the grinding style of Davis. With less than three months between the January 28 FOX fight and the April date, Evans could miss out on another title opportunity should he suffer any injury setback.
If that were the case, Henderson would almost certainly be thrust into the spot ahead of Evans. Henderson is coming off his epic UFC 139 win against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in a bout that many are calling the best fight in UFC history. In the aftermath, Henderson turned down a fight with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in order to wait and see how Evans-Davis turns out. The calculated gamble may turn out to provide dividends.
A Davis win would muddle the picture greatly. Though UFC president Dana White has said he'd prefer the 41-year-old Henderson over a victorious Davis, a dominant performance by the young upstart might cause him to reconsider.
Either way, it seems likely that Jones will have one of the three queued up and ready to go within two weeks as the champion looks to follow up his brilliant 2011.
Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans Title Match Set for UFC 145 in Atlanta
UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones will defend his belt at UFC 145 in Atlanta, the UFC confirmed during Saturday night's UFC on FOX 2 event.
Barring any unforeseen issues, it will be against his former friend and current rival Rashad Evans.
By virtue of his unanimous decision win over Phil Davis on Saturday, Evans (17-1-1) held on to his No. 1 contender status, but after a fairly grueling five-rounder, he'd have only 12 weeks to heal up any injuries he suffered during the fight and prepare for a title bout. In the post-fight press conference, Evans didn't mention any physical issues stemming from the fight, saying that he was looking forward to the long-awaited grudge match and title bout with Jones.
"Yeah I'm ready to fight in April or whenever," he said. "There's a couple of things I need to work on. I look forward to going into camp and working on things, but I'm looking forward to fighting Jon and giving the fans the fight they want to see."
Evans admitted that it was difficult to prepare for Davis with the possibility of fighting Jones lurking in the background.
"This is the monkey on my back I had to get over," he said. "It was hard to get ready for this fight because everybody kept talking about that fight [with Jones]. It was hard to get excited for a fight like this, but Phil Davis definitely brought it, and now that I won, I get the opportunity to fight Jon, and I'm very excited about it."
Atlanta is the site of Evans' star-making win, as he knocked out Chuck Liddell at UFC 88 at the same arena that will host UFC 145.
Jones, who was in Chicago as a member of the FOX broadcast team, was beaming after Evans' win, saying that he was happy to finally face his former teammate in the cage.
"I can't wait to get past this chapter in my career," he said. "I've been calling him my antagonist because of all the hype and drama. So I'm a happy man. I'm looking forward to retaining my title on April 21st in the ATL."
It's not a lock yet though, as Evans will have to pass a post-fight physical and hope to avoid any lengthy medical suspensions.
If Evans can't make the quick turnaround, former Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Dan Henderson is likely to get the headlining slot opposite Jones.
The 41-year-old Henderson (29-8) is coming off his thrilling unanimous decision win over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 139, a scrap that many have called the greatest MMA fight of all time.
Jones originally won the belt at UFC 128, battering Rua en route to a fourth-round TKO. He then successfully defended it twice, beating Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Lyoto Machida to cap a banner 2011.
UFC 145 takes place on April 21 from Philips Arena.
Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans Title Match Set for UFC 145 in Atlanta
UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones will defend his belt at UFC 145 in Atlanta, the UFC confirmed during Saturday night's UFC on FOX 2 event.

Jon Jones Heavy Favorite Over Rashad Evans in Early Odds
Rashad Evans has only lost one match in his MMA career, but oddsmakers strongly believe that when he and Jon Jones face off in Atlanta on April 21, Jones will hand him his second defeat.
According to the earliest line released on the fight, Jones (15-1) is a massive 6-to-1 favorite to successfully defend his belt for the third straight time.
Evans will only have 12 weeks to recover and prepare following his five-round unanimous decision win over Phil Davis at last Saturday's UFC on FOX 2 event.
Evans (17-1-1) has been the No. 1 contender in waiting since beating Quinton Jackson back in May 2010, but a series of circumstances including injuries and timing have left him unable to cash that chip in until now.
The two were quite infamously training partners at Team Greg Jackson in New Mexico before a Jones interview in which he said he would fight Evans if ordered to by UFC president Dana White fractured the pairing.
Jones captured the belt last March with a TKO destruction of Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, and subsequently defended it with wins over Jackson and Lyoto Machida.
Evans admitted it was difficult to prepare for the Davis match with the title bout possibility hanging in the background. Now he finally gets it, but if odds are to be believed, he also faces a major uphill battle.
The fight takes place as the main event of UFC 145 at Philips Arena in Atlanta.

Jon Jones: Rashad Evans Hasn't Progressed, Phil Davis Looked 'Like a Sheep'
UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones had a comfortable seat as a FOX Sports analyst for Saturday night's main event in Chicago, but he wasn't particularly impressed with what he saw from either Rashad Evans or Phil Davis at the UFC on FOX 2 event, he told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.
Though Evans won the decision and the right to challenge for the belt, Jones said he "didn't really see much progression" from the former champion, and suggested that Evans hasn't benefited much from a change in training camps.
"I think his top control looked a little tighter," Jones said. "I think his guard passes looked pretty decent. With that being said, Phil, man, I don't know what got into him. He did not look like a lion. I think with fighters, no matter how tough you are, there's just lions and there's wolves and there's sheep. He just kind of looked like a sheep out there. He didn't come with much."
Though Jones admitted that his new role at the analysts' table caused him a little apprehension, he said the nerves might have likewise gotten to Davis, who was blanked on the scorecards by the more experienced Evans.
"I think he got a little intimidated by Rashad," said Jones. "And the pressure of being on FOX, how many millions of people were watching the fight, I just don't think he handled the situation well. That's why, when I was broadcasting, I said this is where we'll see where Phil's at, if he's going to be a top-level guy or a mid-tier fighter. Judging by the performance [Saturday] night, I don't know if I can consider himself a wolf."
Evans' victory cleared the way for him to face Jones for the UFC 205-pound title, most likely in Atlanta on April 21. While Jones said he plans to "do what I always do and tear him up," he suggested that Evans' lack of improvement in recent fights would cost him in the cage.
"I think that's going to be the biggest difference in the fight, is my youth, my ambition, my drive, my creativity. Rashad's been fighting for, I don't know, maybe eight years. Many of the years, he trained with the coaches that are coaching me to beat him. I definitely didn't see any progressions. I feel like he's coming down the other side of the hill. Even his body looked softer."
While Jones and Evans briefly trained side-by-side at Greg Jackson's gym in New Mexico, Jackson has said he wants no part of a fight between the former teammates. For that reason alone, Jones said, Jackson likely won't be in his corner when he defends his title against Evans.
"Rashad and Greg had some genuine moments and I wouldn't put him in that position. ...I could never imagine [Jackson] coaching against me, and I wouldn't put that pressure on him to coach against Rashad."
Thanks in part to Jones' own acrimonious history with Evans, the champ described the bout as one that he's much more interested in and motivated for than he was for his last title defense against former champ Lyoto Machida. And while he knows the trash-talk will be intense in the weeks leading up to the fight, Jones isn't going to shy away from it, he said.
"My plan is to let it get the best of me, and to train and bring out the best in me," he said. "...This is just a fight that I'm not going to lose. It's not happening."
Once it's all over, however, Jones said he hopes the two of them can put their differences aside and once again be cordial to one another, even if they may never be friends.
"I'd love to have a respectful relationship with him, because actually, deep down, I kind of just liked hanging with the guy," said Jones. "He was cool. We had good times. We did a lot of cool stuff together and it sucked that competition came between our friendship. After this fight, I just hope that the respect can be restored. Friendship is not necessary, but the respect should be restored."
UFC 145 Fight Card: Jones vs. Evans
The UFC 145 fight card is slated to be headlined by Jon Jones putting his light heavyweight title on the line against Rashad Evans in the UFC's return to Atlanta on April 21 at the Phillips Arena.
The two are former training partners and friends that grew apart when Jones stated his willingness to face Evans even though the two had a pact to not fight one another. Jones ended up beating Mauricio "Shogun" Rua for the title and Evans soon after left Greg Jackson's camp in order to distance himself from Jones.

Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson to Face Matt Brown at UFC 145
Undefeated striking phenom Stephen Thompson won't have a long wait on the sidelines to follow up his spectacular debut. The South Carolinian, who has now won 63 straight kickboxing and MMA fights, will take on Matt Brown at UFC 145.
The UFC confirmed the welterweight pairing on Saturday, following a report from Thompson's hometown paper, Greenville Online.
Thompson showed no first-time octagon jitters at UFC 143, knocking out Dan Stittgen with a headkick at 4:13 of the first round. That made him a perfect 6-0 in his pro MMA career since moving over from the kickboxing world.
Brown will certainly represent his biggest test thus far.
The Ultimate Fighter veteran also fought at UFC 143, earning a second-round TKO of Chris Cope. Brown (13-11) has won two of his last three overall. Brown brings with him a great deal of experience, having fought 11 times in the UFC dating back to his debut in 2008.
UFC 145 takes place at Philips Arena in Atlanta. The main event matches UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones against No. 1 contender Rashad Evans in a long-awaited grudge match.

Is er iemand die denkt dat Rashad een goede kans maakt?
Ben benieuwd naar meningen, ik ben namelijk meer Evans fan dan Jones, alleen schat zijn kansen heel laag in. Jones is te goed op dit gewicht.
Snapte ook dat laatste bericht niet, dat Jones naar heavyweight wilde gaan na twee succesvolle defenses nog. Dat de UFC dat te vroeg vond... In de heavyweight zie ik hoop leuke partijen voor hem, in LHW domineerd hij keihard, zie niemand een kans maken, de laatste was Machida en dit had een goede eerste ronde, tweede trouwens ook leuke momenten maar daarna was het snel weer over helaas.

Nee, het enige wat Evans in staat is tegen Jones is overleven. Wellicht houdt Evans het 4 rondes vol. En ik zie Evans geen schade aanrichten tegen Jones, daarvoor komt ie lengte te kort. Jones is net als Diaz, maakt goed gebruik van zijn reach! Jones is onverslaanbaar komende maanden, jaren!

Weet niet wat het is, kan niet enthousiast worden van zijn gevechten, misschien is het dat het er allemaal te gemakkelijk uit ziet. Hij is gewoon erg goed, maar ben er geen fan van.

Als Evans goed naar de partij Machida - Jones heeft gekeken weet ie iig waar Jones zijn minpunt ligt. Na een draaitrap of andere capriolen van hem meteen erin en afstraffen, of erin en een trip met wat ground en pound om zo de ronde te pakken. Of hij de partij er vroegtijdig mee kan winnen is wat anders, maar een saaie decision overwinning kan. Ben overigens voor Jones dmv scorpion kick eind tweede ronde
superstucie
12-02-2012, 14:37
rashad maakt toch wel een goede kans!
Kijk altijd uit naar Evans z'n fights en van Jones! maar in deze ga ik voor Evans. ik denk dat een wrestler het eerder van jones gaat winnen dan een stand up fighter.
die trappen naar de knie aan de voorkant> Ik wist niet eens dat dat mocht!

Jon Jones, Rashad Evans Reignite Rivalry as UFC 145 Buildup Begins
The first time Rashad Evans marched into Atlanta, he was a sizable underdog trying to make a legacy for himself. Next time he does, he'll again be a sizable underdog, this time trying to seal a legacy as a two-time UFC light-heavyweight champion.
Nearly a year after the long-simmering grudge between Evans and Jones began, there's finally an end game, UFC 145 (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/92541/ufc-145) in April. But until then, expect salvos to be fired and returned. A full two months before the two meet in the cage, they met at a spot overlooking downtown Atlanta, with Evans reasserting his belief that his previous work with Jones would give him the advantage in their matchup, and the champion admitting that the broken friendship and personal feelings would play a motivational role in his training.
"I think that my opponent will be in my head this fight," he said. "And I want him in my head because I realize when people are in my head, it brings out the best in me, and that’s what I’m prepared to show."
The 24-year-old has seen his star rise over the last year following a brilliant stretch that saw him win four times in 2011, including three finishes over former UFC champions.
But it was a question of whether Jones could finish Evans within one round that led to the most animated exchange between the two fighters. It started innocently enough from Jones.
"I’m going to be cliche and say I’m going to go out there with great intentions and train really hard and just have fun," he said. "I realize when I have fun great things happen. Magical things happen."
But as he finished his thought, Evans interjected, saying "What do you really think, though?"
"You remember what I told you," Jones said.
"I remember what you told me, but I remember you didn’t mean it," Evans said.
Some rowdy fans in the crowd yelled out, asking Evans what Jones said, and Evans mimicked Jones nervously saying, "Rashad, I’m going to be the first one to finish you in the first round…," stuttering his way throughout the less-than-flattering imitation.
That brought laughs from the audience, and even got a chuckle from UFC president Dana White. Jones portrayed the hint of a smile, but wasn't quite so amused.
"I remember being here and Rampage was doing the same thing, so …," Jones said, letting his words trail off and throwing his hands up, letting the memory of his fourth-round submission win over Jackson finish his thought.
The easy rapport the two shared mostly replaced by acrimony, the two did share a couple of lighter moments throughout. But most of the time, it was a case of one answering a question, and the other rebutting the answer as though they were debating.
Jones smiled throughout the 30-minute press conference, although the two didn't look each other in the eye during a post-event staredown photo opportunity or share a handshake at its conclusion. Evans was clearly the crowd favorite of the two, with one fan routinely yelling out support to the point where Evans adopted him as his "hype man."
That's been par for the course for Jones, who has watched his popularity rating increase right alongside his list of detractors, one of MMA's most beloved and hated at the same time. That's a typical symptom of the overnight superstar, and that's certainly what Jones has become, winning the title in what is traditionally MMA's most competitive division within three years of taking up the sport. But even with all the proclamations about Jones as MMA's present and future, Evans wouldn't give in, anointing himself a "spoiler" on April 21.
"There’s been so many people like him that’s been ‘the one,’" he said. "But that’s the secret: there is no ‘one.’ Anybody can lose any given day, and he’s going to find that out."
The back and forth about who knows more about the other from their days training together has been discussed ad nauseam, and will continue to be rehashed for another two months until they're finally standing across the cage from each other. Then we'll get our answer.
But for now, we're left with the same thing we've had for the last year, loaded words going back and forth, just setting the stage for what's to come. As for what might be afterward, well, the two opened a window on that when a fan innocently asked if the two would be able share a smile or handshake after going five hard rounds in April.
It was as if they didn't even hear the question.
"This fight won't go five rounds," Evans said.
"Mark his words," Jones said.
And so it goes, a blood feud in need of a conclusion, a money rivalry to end in the place where for Evans, it all really began.

Greg Jackson Will Corner Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans
Greg Jackson, the MMA coach who has long sought to foster a team-first environment at his gym and claimed he would never participate if two of his students planned to fight against each other, has made a difficult decision: He has decided to corner Jon Jones at UFC 145, when Jones will defend the light heavyweight title against Rashad Evans, a longtime member of Team Jackson.
Evans left the Jackson team only after it became clear that he and Jones were on a collision course at the top of the light heavyweight division, and there's some lingering bitterness between Evans and Jones. Jackson's decision will do nothing to lessen that bitterness, and it will undoubtedly lead to some hard feelings for Evans toward Jackson as well.
But it's the right decision: Jackson is Jones's coach, and Jackson needs to do his job as Jones's coach and be there for Jones at UFC 145.
It's easy to see why Evans is unhappy. He came up under Jackson's wing and always subscribed to Jackson's teachings about teammates not fighting each other. For a long time, the question Evans faced wasn't whether he would fight Jones, but whether he would fight his friend and training partner Keith Jardine. Evans and Jardine always insisted they would never fight each other, and Jackson always insisted that was the right course of action.
Things started to change a year ago, when Evans suffered an injury while training at Jackson's gym for his planned fight with Shogun Rua, and Jones stepped in to take Evans' place. Jones became the champion, Evans remained the No. 1 contender, and although it's taken a year to get the timing right, the Jones-Evans title fight is now going to happen. In the mean time, Evans left Jackson's gym in large part because he wasn't happy about the way things transpired between himself and Jones.
Jackson never wanted Jones and Evans to be in a position where they were fighting each other, but the reality of the business is that the UFC needs its best fighters to be willing to fight. They may be friends or teammates or training partners, but if one is the champion and the other is the No. 1 contender, they need to fight. Jackson has long supported an ideal in which teammates never fight teammates, but that ideal just isn't realistic at the highest levels of the UFC. Sometimes the two best fighters in a weight class just have to suck it up and fight each other.
And when those times come up, a coach who has a relationship with both fighters will face a difficult decision. Jackson was faced with a difficult decision as soon as Jones and Evans were identified as likely future opponents, and now Jackson can't delay that decision any longer. He's made his decision about where he'll be at UFC 145, and he made the right decision. He'll be in Jones's corner, doing everything he can to help Jones beat Evans.

Als Evans goed naar de partij Machida - Jones heeft gekeken weet ie iig waar Jones zijn minpunt ligt. Na een draaitrap of andere capriolen van hem meteen erin en afstraffen, of erin en een trip met wat ground en pound om zo de ronde te pakken. Of hij de partij er vroegtijdig mee kan winnen is wat anders, maar een saaie decision overwinning kan. Ben overigens voor Jones dmv scorpion kick eind tweede ronde
Het zijn trainings maten geweest dus denk dat ze beide elkaars zwaktes en sterke punten kennen.
Ik denk wel dat rashad een kans maakt, juist hier door.
Ben ook benieuwd naar Rory Macdonalds!! ben fan van deze jongen!!

WAR Rashad Evans
The Moment Everything Supposedly Changed for Jon Jones and Rashad Evans
Last February, I flew to Albuquerque, N.M., to interview then-No. 1 contender Jon Jones at Jackson-Winkeljohn Mixed Martial Arts for the UFC on Versus 3 pre-fight show, which would air on March 3.
Jones was days removed from his win over Ryan Bader at UFC 126 and was getting ready to fight Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128 for the UFC light heavyweight title. As you may recall, Jones got the title shot after his then-friend and training partner Rashad Evans had to pull out of the fight due to a knee injury.
At the time of the interview, which you can watch here, Jones and Evans were still friends, but it seemed more and more likely that they would someday have to fight each other. I asked Jones (8:50 mark) what he planned on doing if UFC president Dana White asked him to fight Evans.
"It's Dana's world when you're a UFC fighter and we live in it," Jones said. "So, I respect Dana a lot, and if that's what he absolutely wanted to happen, I guess that's what would have to happen. Me or Rashad would not want to get fired over the situation. It would just be majorly awkward for us. Rashad and I have a lot in common: we're both young, African-American men with families. We both like to sing, have fun. We're both elite MMA fighters. We have a lot in common, and we both really clicked really well. There's just so many other great fighters in the world that we could compete against. And you know, we're not animals. We're friends, we're human beings. I would hate to have to fight my own teammate. I would never want to."
So, why am I bringing this up now? Well, ever since the Jones-Evans fight became a reality, Evans has pointed to this response as the moment everything changed. In fact, the latest UFC 145 preview video, which can be seen below, credits this moment as the beginning of the end of their friendship.
Now, I'm not trying to rehash a year-old interview. I'm just a little surprised that this is the moment that created the rift heard around the MMA world.
So I'll turn to you, our loyal readers. Do you think Jones' answer was really that disrespectful? Should he have been a little more emphatic in expressing his desire to never fight Evans, or was he only being a good company man weeks before his first title shot? Was Jones being a bad friend or is Evans being too sensitive?

Miguel Torres on UFC 145 Opponent Michael McDonald: ‘I’m Going to Show Him What’s Up’
Stat sheets may list Miguel Torres as inactive for the past four months, but for a so-called break, the fighter's life has been awfully eventful.
Back in December, Torres' hammer dropped swiftly and without remorse. After posting a misguided Workaholics joke on Twitter, the 31-year-old bantamweight found himself drowning under a firestorm of outrage, and soon after, exiled from the UFC.
Torres eventually worked his way back into Dana White's good graces, expressing remorse and donating money to local rape centers on his own dime, however the experience of losing everything in a split-second left him a changed man.
"I learned to watch what I say and to appreciate what I have," Torres candidly admitted on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.
"I had no idea what was going to happen. The situation was all fun and games, and then it got real really quick. ... Now my mindset is this could be taken away from me at any time. I have to make the most of what I have, while I have it."
It's easy to lose sight of such things after twelve years of fighting for a living. But facing the stark reality of a life without the UFC, Torres quickly began to realize the implications of what he initially thought was a harmless joke.
"I just didn't take it into perspective like I do now," he said. "I was too busy taking care of everything else. Running my business, being with my family, traveling, fighting, training, training other people, just doing so many things that I didn't appreciate little things, like being hired in the UFC. So something like that makes a huge difference in your life, and I appreciate that now."
Ultimately, Torres' renewed self-awareness has become a blessing in disguise. After experiencing such an eye-opening downslide, his commitment to fighting is the strongest it has ever been, and as he prepares for a potential number-one contender match against upstart prospect Michael McDonald at UFC 145, everything from his diet to his training has transformed for the better.
"My whole career has been about proving people wrong," Torres asserted. "Ever since the beginning, people have never given me a benefit of the doubt and never given me a chance.
"For me, I look at this as a second chance to be able to show everybody what I'm about. I haven't had a clear mind in a long time. The fact that I get to solely focus on training is going to make me a 100-percent different person. I already know, the way I'm training now, I feel different. It's unexplainable. People that watch me train have noticed a huge difference. They ask if I've been eating different or doing something different. The biggest thing is that my mind is clear. I have no worries."
With three recent wins sandwiched between a loss to top contender Demetrious Johnson, Torres (40-4) appears poised to make another run at the belt that once rested on his mantle.
McDonald's stock may be skyrocketing, but at just 21 years old, having barely grazed the legal drinking age, the young Californian is still extremely untested, and he hasn't yet had to fight anybody like Torres. According to the former WEC champion, that chasm of inexperience is going to become very clear, very quickly. "I'm going to give him his introduction to the real world of MMA," Torres finished intensely.
"I'm not going to test him at all. I'm going to show him what's up. Big difference: when you give a test, you can pass and fail a test. When you show somebody what's up, that's what you show them. I'm going to show him what's up."
UFC 145 Pay-Per-View to Feature Six Live Fights
The Miguel Torres vs. Michael McDonald bantamweight fight was officially added to the UFC 145 pay-per-view lineup on Thursday, which means that the April 21st main card will feature six live fights.
UFC pay-per-views traditionally feature five live fights, however, the organization has recently started to deviate from the norm, as they aired seven fights at UFC 144.
"Fighting on Pay-Per-View is special to me," Torres stated on UFC.com. "I would watch the big boxing cards with my father as a kid, and my father would well up with pride and emotion when guys like Julio Cesar Chavez fought. I'd never seen my father show so much emotion and I am proud to become an extension of that great Mexican fighting legacy in the UFC."
Torres (40-4) is 3-1 in his last four fights, while the 21-year-old McDonald (14-1) has won his last seven fights in a row.
Below is a look at the full UFC 145 lineup, which will take place at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta.

Greg Jackson Explains Decision to Corner Jon Jones Against Rashad Evans
Greg Jackson's decision to corner Jon Jones against Rashad Evans was made in the 1860s. Not literally, of course. Instead, Jackson turned to Civil War history to help him through his personal struggle of how to handle a situation that saw him stuck between one of his most revered former students and his current standout.
Jackson originally planned to sit out the Jones-Evans fight, but after Jones and others in his fight team spoke to him about his decision, he reconsidered by reflecting on history. One day, he was reading about the Civil War, and was struck by the way many were forced to take action to a cause they believed in, even if it was an inconvenient battle to fight.
While he acknowledged his decision was nowhere near as profound as the one that ripped the country apart, he at least saw a small parallel that ultimately pushed him to take Jones' side when he opposes former Team Jackson member Evans at UFC 145.
"I felt I had kind of a duty to the team," Jackson said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "What I mean by that is Jon Jones is on the team, Rashad has left the team and has made it pretty clear he’s not coming back. My personal feeling, if I wanted to be a little selfish, I would say, 'I don’t want to deal with any of it. I don’t want to be there at all.' But it has to mean something to be on a team. It has to mean something, and I felt I had a duty to do that, because Jon’s on the team, so it’s my responsibility to corner him. Even though it’s a really hard decision, I decided to go with it."
Jackson has been working with Jones throughout the entire fight camp, but that doesn't mean it's been a comfortable feeling given everything he's gone through with Evans over the years. The two were together for most of Evans' career, through his championship victory, until the tension with Jones caused a rift that ultimately became a rip.
"It’s not fun," he said of the situation. "I wouldn’t call it weird, it’s just not fun. I love Jon to death, but I love Rashad, too. And so it’s not a position I enjoy at all. It’s not something I like, but it something I think I have to do."
Jackson took the blame for the situation's genesis, saying he didn't have protocols in place to prevent it. Instead, it was simply an unwritten rule that teammates wouldn't fight each other.
Now he admits that's no longer realistic, and that especially if a championship is on the line, teammates may have to square off. When that happens in the future, Jackson won't corner either fighter, but coaches from his camp will take each side. That's already happening to a degree, as campmates UFC welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre and interim champ Carlos Condit were once scheduled to fight, and will again face that situation when St. Pierre is healed.
Jackson hopes that now that there is a procedure in place, things won't blow up again.
"Our camaraderie has been great," he said. "I thought it might wreck morale, but it didn't. In fact, because everybody knows this is the reality of the situation, everybody's OK with it. It's like being surprised. If you're surprised, if you're caught off-guard, things can go really badly. But if you know this is the way it is, when it happens, you're like, 'Well, we knew this would happen. Let's just get through it and move on.'"
For now though, he's left with a difficult situation. When he arrives in Atlanta, he knows he may be contributing to the downfall of someone he still cares for. Ironically, the city was a key battleground in ending the Civil War, and Jackson hopes it is the place where this personal war reaches its end.
"In a perfect world, they have a great fight and everybody squashes it and moves on from there, but we’ll see," he said. "Life is not a perfect thing. Everyone makes mistakes. I make mistakes, everybody else does as well, so yeah, I hope it gets squashed and everything works out after that. That’s my hopeful scenario."

Ik heb het gevoel dat Jones gaat vechten op basis van zijn lange reach(84,5 tegen 75,0).
Inspringen, aanvallen en weer weg. Evans zal de agressieve rol op zich nemen door continue een manier te zoeken om de reach afstand te minimaliseren.
Ik persoonlijk denk dat Rashad gaat winnen..
Ik denk dat rashad gewinnen omdat ik denk dat wrestling the key is om jones te verslaan. staand gaat hij het sowieso niet redden.
John Alessio Gets His Wish, Meets Mark Bocek at UFC 145
John Alessio will finally get another run in the UFC.
The Canadian fighter, who has been campaigning for months for another shot in the UFC, has agreed to replace the injured Matt Wiman against fellow Canadian Mark Bocek at UFC 145, according to sources close to the fight. (Update: Bocek confirmed the news via Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/MarkBocek/status/187279057761730560).)
Following his most recent win over Ryan Healy earlier this month, Alessio expressed, one more time, on The MMA Hour his desire to return to the big show.
"I have zero quit," Alessio said. "I'm a fighter for life. I've been doing this going since 1998. You're not going to see me quit anytime soon. I need to get back to the UFC, to be able to lay my head down at night at the end of my career.
"I won't be denied."
The 14-year MMA veteran is 0-3 in the UFC, losing to Pat Miletich at UFC 26, Diego Sanchez at UFC 60 and Thiago Alves at Ortiz vs. Shamrock III in 2006.
Alessio last fought on March 16, and with UFC 145 just 18 days away, he won't have plenty of time to prepare for Bocek. The 10-4 Bocek got back on the winning track at UFC 140, defeating Nik Lentz via decision.
UFC 145, headlined by Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans for the UFC light heavyweight title, airs live on pay-per-view on April 21 from Atlanta's Phillips Arena. The Bocek-Alessio tilt is expected to air on the main card.

What Rashad al meerdere malen heeft gezegd,, he's cocky he's full of himself. Hij doet het niet om fans te pleasen maar voor zichzelf. Die gozer ziet zichzelf als een god, je kan dwars door zijn persoonlijkheid heen kijken. En die broer van em ook nog die de nieuwe heavyweight prospect zou worden is gewoon een vetklep lol ?
Mag hem echt niet hoop echt op Rashad. Als hij slim vecht kan hij hem hebben.

Moge de boosdoener verliezen... Jon Jones is zowieso meer technisch en onvoorspelbaarder... Rashad Evans is wat massiever dus ik denk dat hij op gebied van kracht de meerdere zal zijn. Jon Jones is conditioneel heel erg sterk (cardio) en Rashad Evans is dat ook, dus dat zal wel gelijk opgaan als je het mij vraagt. Jon Jones heeft korte metten gemaakt met grote vechters en het zal me niks verbazen als hij dit ook met Evans zal doen. Jon Jones was wel sterker in het debat dat ze onderling hebben gevoerd maar ik weet niet of dat ook in het gevecht zal zijn. Jon Jones is definitief samen met Anderson Silva de beste vechter in MMA op dit moment, deze twee zijn all round gewoon goed en zijn in alle onderdelen van MMA goed. Als ik zou wedden zou ik me knaken op Jon Jones zetten.
Rashad Evans Unbothered by UFC Sponsoring Jon Jones at UFC 145
Last week, a few eyebrows were raised when it was revealed that the UFC will be sponsoring its light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones for his upcoming title bout against Rashad Evans. As Jones explained during a recent conference call, the agreement came about when past primary sponsor Form Athletics shut down, and Jones sought out one main sponsor instead of entering the cage as a human billboard.He'll essentially be showcasing new UFC merchandise, and so, some might theorize, the promotion will have a rooting interest in his success in the match.
The flip side of that theory, of course, is that if they have a rooting interest in one fighter, the second man in the cage seems unwanted. At best, it seems unfair. At worst, it seems biased.
If you were Evans, that might not sit too well with you. After all, the veteran has been around longer than Jones. He's also been a company ambassador and never had any outside-of-the-cage problems that reflected badly on the UFC. In short, he's done everything right, yet the advertising dollars are headed the young champion's way.
Evans (17-1-1) doesn't perceive the situation any different than most who have heard about it, but neither is it something that he'll let affect him.
"I guess it is what it is," he said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "It seems they got their guy that they’re going to get behind, I guess. I can’t really say too much about that. I just got to go in there and do what I need to do. I can't really worry about that. I can't really worry about who they favor or who they may like. It doesn’t change anything."
Jones has come to be considered a massive favorite in the fight, nearly 6-to-1 in some places, even though Evans has only one career loss on his fight ledger.
It seems that the public isn't the only one betting on him. When asked if he believes the UFC is favoring Jones on fight night, Evans couldn't deny the possibility.
"If they’re sponsoring him, it may seem that way," he said. "But you know, honestly, it doesn't matter if they favor him or not. They have guys they want to get behind, so if they want to get behind him, that's on them. It doesn’t bother me though."
The fight will bring the long-awaited conclusion to their long-simmering feud. On Monday's show, Evans also seemed to indicate that his anger for Jones has waned since the two have "talked it out" through their public war of words and a few private meetings during appearances.
The same doesn't hold true for his former coach Greg Jackson, who he accused of protecting his own interests ahead of longtime camp members.
But Evans is ready to put all the bickering aside. He's tired of talking about it, and has been for a long time. It's finally about time to fight, and for him, that's what matters the most.
"When it comes down to it, I started to fight because I love to fight and I was good at it," he said. "I still want it to remain the same. Even though I don't like Jon, and all the whole back story, and the whole Greg situation, at the end of the day, this is what I really love to do, and I'm going to keep that mindset throughout this whole week and throughout this fight."

Pff wel een hele vieze actie om hem te sponseren...
veel duidelijker kunnen ze niet laten blijken voor wie te zijn... Arme rashad
Rashad all the way. Hoop dat hij dat jonkie een lesje kan leren. Jones is een mooie en sterke vechter, heeft grote namen verslagen.. Maar niet vergeten.. Rashad ook. In dit gevecht hoop ik dat Rashad hem ko slaat en dat kan hij echt wel. Rashad for LH champion :)

Tja, was een van de weinige manieren om door de dekking te komen, Jones speelde met Hamill als een ragdoll (ff ongenuanceerd gezegd)
Als ik de countdown footage zie van Evans dan zie ik een zielige gebroken man. Team weg, vrouw weg groot "crib" huurhuis zonder warmte. En als vechter vind ik hem 1 dimensionaal harde k.o punch in huis en wat take downs.
Hoop op een mooie pot.

Ok begrijp de quote nu (nog niet gezien) maar ter verdediging van Jones dit is Jackson's fout hoe hij jones nu heeft neergezet. Als je goed luistert was jones al op weg, maar idd het laten vallen van Machida (1 van mijn andere fav. vechters) was een no-no.
Vond Jones sympathiek overkomen toen hij meedeed mee de "plaatselijke" politie voor een t.v. prog.

For Better or Worse, Greg Jackson's Advice Led Rashad Evans Down Current Path
ATLANTA -- A trainer can't blame a fighter for following his advice, even if it works against him.Greg Jackson tells his fighters to adapt, to not rely on even their most reliable weapon. What happens when that backfires? At one time, Jackson was Rashad Evans' most reliable weapon, the guy whispering in his ear. The guy spotting the holes in his opponents' attacks. But no more. Now he's on the opposite side, the enemy.
Indulge me in a theory for a moment, one in which I play armchair sports psychologist. It goes like this: Evans wanted out, needed out of Team Greg Jackson, even if it was a subconscious thought in the deep recesses of his brain. It's not like he set out to lure Jon Jones into his camp and create a rivalry so he could escape. But on the other hand, when the tension became a flicker, he didn't try to blow it out. He doused more gasoline on it and set it ablaze.
In my opinion, Evans was willing to sacrifice that relationship for his own self-improvement, a trade both cold and fair. In other words, he adapted.
Why? The everyday grind of being a fighter is taxing. Everyone knows about the aches and pains. But that's just the start of it. Staying mentally sharp is even more difficult. One camp melds into the next. The drills get repetitive. The faces in front of you begin to represent safety and comfort rather than challenge. Before you know it, the drive you had has seeped away a little at a time, replaced by the routine.
That is not a championship formula. So what do you do when something is stale? You throw it out. You trash it, even if it was something once worth having.
This is a theory, and not one Evans addressed, but if you listen to him, if you hear his words, the clues are there. For example, when he was asked about what is different about him from the time he trained with Jones, this was his answer.
"It's really hard to say but for the most part I enjoy the fight a little bit more than I did before. Under Jackson, I felt like that part of me slipped away from enjoying the process of the whole fight and everything that has to do with it. Being in this new camp with my new training partners, learning new things helped me get the flame underneath me again."
Fighting the staleness of monotony is an ongoing challenge for veteran athletes. That's why coaches get fired so frequently in major team sports.
When you're young and everything is a new experience, that's not a problem. That's why Jones can sit in front of the media with a smile and say that he's enjoying every part of this process. He's 24 years old and he's only been fighting in the UFC for a little over three years. He's only been with Team Jackson for a little over two. He's only been champion a little over one. Everything is still new and exciting for him. The world is still his. It might not always be that way.
Ask Evans, who said that from the beginning, he's been a "paranoid thinker," with the feeling that everybody's always against him. He gave a deep look into his pysche while equating this Jones fight to his UFC 88 bout against Chuck Liddell, a fight that launched him into stardom and a title shot.
"There’s a lot of similarities to that," he said. "I went to that fight and doing interviews, people were interviewing me like, 'What have you done to even get a chance to fight Chuck? How can you even step into the cage with him?' That's the kind of questions I was getting. I was very invisible at the time. But it was something that I took with me. I said, 'You know what? I'm just going to go in there and just do me.' And it's the same way I feel right now. I'm going to go in there and do me. Nobody sees me winning this fight. Nobody sees me winning this fight, so I'm going to go in there and do me and see what happens."
See, that chip on his shoulder is something nearly every champions has. They all have something to prove. Even when they don't, they create a scenario that exists only to them, because they need to have that focused intensity that only comes with wanting to succeed when everybody says you can't.
Someday very soon -- probably on Saturday night at UFC 145 -- Evans and Jones will shake hands and admit they have more in common with each than they have let on for all these months. And probably not long after that, Evans will make peace with Jackson. He served his purpose when he trained Evans, and he served his purpose when he didn't. If each time resulted in bringing the best out of Evans, he did his job, even if it resulted in hurt feelings.
If Evans wins, he won't look back on this time with any regret. The lifespan of a pro athlete isn't much past the blink of an eye. In that time, difficult decisions must be made for the advancement of careers, ones that fray old friendships, ones that create conflict where there is none. Evans may not have intentionally set out to nuke his relationship with his old team, but deep down, he probably did what he felt necessary. He chose an uncharted course over familiarity. He chose movement over standing still. He followed the advice of his old coach, even if it meant going against him.

Denk ik gewoon dat Rashad de 1e ronde gewoon stand-up houd, dit verwacht Jones totaal niet.
Rashad heeft hulp gehad van Overeem en Spong, hun weten echt wel wat ze kunnen doen tegen die reach van Jones.....

Raschad heeft zichzelf overtuigt dat ie echt gaat winnen, ben echt benieuwd dan. Doet me een beetje denken an Sonnen, die zoo overtuigd van zichzelf was dat ie Silva kon verslaan, en bijna was het hem gelukt!
