UFC 145 Press Conference Video: Jones and Evans go face-to-face in Atlanta
Posted on February 16, 2012, 06:27 PM by Trent ReinsmithThe UFC will head to Atlanta on April 21, 2012 for UFC 145, which will be headlined by a bout that will see Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones defend his title against Rashad Evans, a fight that many, including the combatants, have been looking forward to for some time.
The two former friends had once said that they would never face each other inside the Octagon, but once UFC gold came into the equation that talk went out the window and the relationship between the two became quiet contentious.
Time has not healed those wounds and when the two headed to Atlanta today for the prefight press conference there were some moments when things became uncomfortable between the two with UFC President Dana White also getting in on the act at some points.
Check out the video to see the exchanges between the two Light Heavyweights.
Comments
As much as I wish otherwise, Evans is going down in 3.
No fighter is invincible...Rashad may have the key to solve the Jones puzzle. I'm not saying he's beat the champ, but I would never count him out...Jones has the edge, though.
The fan question calling the heavy set black guy Franklin McNeal was comical, and Evans personal hype boy in the fan section was funny as well.
I dont like when people say someone cant be beat but this kid imo is as close as it get to being unstopable...Jones by some crazy nasty shit round 2.
All it takes is one mistake and getting rocked. He needs to stay focused.
And Entity has the only logical comment in here. Any given sunday. The human body can be hurt @ any moment. I love one year mma rookie fans who say Jones is by farrrrrr the best ever?? Good fighter. But these are the same cats who crowned LESNAR....Duhh....
wait until loyoto gets his rematch well see how's unstoppable
Rashad is super confident heading into this mega match up.
He knows Jones so well and i think he will be well prepared to handle his unpredictability.
Rashad has a great chance of taking this fight.....We saw that Jones can get frustrated easily with Machida.
We also saw Jones lose rd 1, and was mentally strong enough to come back out, and impose his will, and dominate a high caliber fighter.
I was violently weaked on my comment but guys from what I see Jones destroyed Shogun, Machida and Rampage in a single year...beating those guys is crazy enought but destroying them like he did is not human.
JONES IS A HEAVYWEIGHT
