Vi har alla hört gång på gång från Rashad Evans att Jon Jones duckar honom, och att han är rädd att möta honom i en titelmatch. Nu är dock steken vänd, och Jon Jones har börjat anklaga Rashad för att han duckar honom istället.
”Well, Dana White basically needed someone to save 140,” säger Jones till MMAFighting. ”I didn’t necessarily want to fight at 140, but because it was Rashad, I said, You know what? I would take the fight in nine weeks. I’m already in shape. I already know what I want to do. Rashad, predicting that I would say no, he kind of kicked himself in the butt because I said yes, he turns around and says, Oh, I didn’t expect Jon to say yes. I don’t want to fight him that soon. So in reality, he’s kind of the one who’s ducking the fight. I feel like he’s ducking the fight. …
He’s tried to call me out on nine weeks notice. Obviously, who wants to fight on nine weeks notice? I just got a new car, I want to drive that around. I want to hang out with my family and relax and sleep in my own bed for once. And now Rashad calls me out, predicting that I would say no, to make me look like I was ducking him again, and I say yes, and now he says, Oh, I didn’t know he would say yes. I don’t want to fight him. He called Dana White, asked for 140, Dana White called me and said Rashad wants this fight. I gave him the fight he wanted and then he pulled out.”
Men Evans kan möta Jones precis när som helst, var som helst. Utom just nu, och i oktagonen. Men annars går det bra att mötas precis överallt.
