I'm thinking that Evans may have gone through that period he mentioned where suddenly no one can squeeze value from him anymore, before his comeback to Eagle FC.
I think part of it is, we only see these guys when they are training, cutting weight, and getting ready to do battle in a cage fight. I used to hate how cocky he was, especially since rampage was my favorite fighter. But it's easy to see he likes to be cocky in front of the cameras, but was always a good person.
@Mystic Editor what are you talking about? That claim you made is so wildly inaccurate. You have to be trolling, no? If not then please give some evidence to substantiate it.
@Mystic Editor You seem like you're trying to argue against a point that was never made. Nobody is saying that they are now perfectly "enlightened" individuals as a result of one acid trip. What has happened though, is these frequent psychedelic trips have altered these people's perspectives and methods of thinking about the world, themselves, relationship, etc., which absolutely changes who they are as a person. If you honestly don't believe that to be the case, then you are seriously misguided in your judgement of human beings.
I watched Rashad growing up on TUF you could tell he was always a good guy at heart. There are many ways this could have been spun off into controversy or a headline, he just gave his honest thoughts as a man. Wishing both Rashad and Jones the best.
@@gideonamare160 For real, that guy was a giant and Rashad had minimum training. I remember he couldn't even take a punch back them. Pure lay and pray fighter 😂 I love all my tuf guys those were some special times.
I was shopping at a Target in Fresno, CA a few years ago. I turn and look, there is Rashad Evans. I turned and said what the F#%% is Rashad Evans in Fresno?! He was there to support a local MMA fighter, shook my hand and then introduced me to , "meet the next big thing in MMA, Jon Jones". They were both very cordial and graciously spent a few minutes talking with me. Great memory.
Word ! The title “former ufc world champion” is something all fighters dream of having but most come short. Aint easy chasing it. Ppl gotta respect that.
I remember watching The Ultimate Fighter with Rashad and Rampage. Going into the season, I was a Rampage fan. After seeing Rashad’s demeanor and how he interacted with people around him, I became a Rashad fan.
I don't like saying it, but I think the reason he sounds concerned is because of brain damage. The wittyness that Rashsd used to have is gone and has been gone for quite some time. People forget that he used to be one of the funniest guys in MMA.
@@aerodynamicsalamander Robin Williams (RIP) did hard drugs, cocaine I think, and he said it changed his brain, his thinking, for the worse. He regretted doing it.
One of my medical customers was a childhood friend of Jon Jones. Small world. This clip speaks a lot to Rashad’s character. Well articulated and good to see. Rashad is a champ. Wishing him well.
Class from Sugar. He is extremely generous in his opinion on a guy who obviously has a lot of work to do. I started to type some really negative stuff about Jon but I remembered that I was once a lost soul who suffered incarceration and humiliation. I do genuinely hope this guy can find some peace and balance in his life.
@@_andre007 Even if they did, they did a low enough amount to not get caught, while JBJ did enough to get caught. That would help him additionally. No coincidence he popped after or around his best fights.

@@krb0123 the person you see in front of a camera almost will never be that person in real life.... When you hang out with someone on a social level, that will never be the same person you see on a world broadcast

But seeing as you don't even know how to spell "analyzes" I'm not surprised that it would go right over your head. Besides, I wasn't asking for a complex psychoanalysis, literally asked if he was a good dude since OP supposedly went to school/partied with him. Obviously I wouldn't give a shit to ask if it was some average fighter, but given Jones' criminal history I'm curious if there were drastic changes in his personality. Hopefully I wrote that wasn't too difficult for you to read...
The way Jon was landing those elbows in their fight was just lovely to watch. The precision of Jon's strikes are just something else. Surprised he didn't finish Evans🙄
@@WireMakesShorts yeah almost every Jon fought, the fighters were in their absolute prime to prepare for Jon and then after that they kind of went downhill...the only fighter that didnt go downhill afterward was DC imo
What an awesome dude Rashad Evans is. He is also a legendary fighter. He was awesome in his prime. Jones greatly benefited as a fighter from having Rashad as a mentor. Too bad Jon didn’t emulate Rashad’s behavior but nobody is perfect. I’m very impressed by how classy and supportive Rashad is.
If he was rotten, it would be alot worse. He's an active father. He helped with stopping the riots during covid. Stopped a mugger the night of his first title fight. He just needs to stop fighting.
Rotten? rotten (adj.) c. 1300, roten, of animal substances, "in a state of decomposition or putrefaction," from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse rotinn "decayed," past participle of verb related to rotna "to decay,"
John spoke to Rogan about this before he would party a week before every big fight so that way if he lost he can reason that the loss was from partying. I personally believe this sounds real.
I highly doubt he was partying a week before the fight so in case he lost he had an excuse...he was partying to party and have a good time. Highly flipping doubt it was for an excuse in case he lost.
@@coolfresh6218 i don't think an excuse to make to the public, bur mentally for himself. Jon Jones shows a lot of tendencies of a sociopath, so I can 100% believe this is what Jon had running through his mind.
“JON” partied because he could. Hard not to with money, fame, and everything that comes with being a UFC champ. I think alot of us would make that move
The way JBJ used to come in and ragdoll guys was crazy. Like, I never saw such a skinny dude visibly exert so much power, especially when he went up against guys like Bader and Hamill who were known to be super strong and just throw them around and completely neutralize their wrestling. Khimzat reminds me of that, his power is crazy
@@joakimkempe57 No body, including yourself knows 100% for sure if Khazmat is taking roids or p.e.ds or not. The fact that he is a professional athlete and in the fight game makes him a likely candidate for peds.
@@UltimateHibz Everyone knows Khamzat never failed a test while Jones got caught with cocaine, extremely low testosterone, Clomiphene, Letrozole and Turinabol, also hiding under the octagon for 8h to avoid a drug test
Note for the interviewer: STOP TALKING. THREE of your questions literally took more than 60 seconds to ask, you talked about yourself most of the time while asking them, and you cut him off while he was answering them.
Yo Rashad, I remember when you came to my school and hung out with my students. Best day of their lives. Thank you again! Hint: your daughter was at my school! You hung out with the wrestling team!!
What a class act. The way he was treated by Jackson and his camp when Jones came in. I think it's absolutely a stunner to me, and I rooted against Rashad twice. When he coached against Quintin on TUF and when he fought Chuck but I could never root against him as Person because he has redefined what it means to be a Class Act. God Bless you Rashad.
I love that Pat will not let someone run from the question or try to answer the question without answering the question, if y’all know what I mean. He will give examples and break down his question so you aren’t able to not give an honest answer. Smart man
Rashad is one of the most humble MMA fighters and human beings out there. I've followed him from the beginning and always felt like he was just a good solid dude. You can tell them apart from the fakes.
Dude likes to hear himself talk and dominate the conversation. The best interviewer so far is Brian Rose. The dude knows how to listen and ask follow up questions when necessary.
Rashad is a real one, true class.... grew up watching Rashad on The Ultimate Fighter and then becoming LHW Champion to losing the belt to Machida and then to becoming the 1st fighter to go a full 5 rounds with Bones Jones, truly an amazing martial artist and coach........
Great interview and thorough answers from Rashad. I have much more respect for Rashad after watching this, he is very self-aware and mindful of others.
I think cormier said it the best : jon needs to Lose to change as a human. I think if Jon loses he will Start to question Himself. Because when u do soooo much shit and still are able to win championships with ease and still not get beat. Then why change?
I love Rashad. I'm becoming a peer counselor and I think he should do the same type of thing. Not for money obviously. But it would be good for him to talk to young fighters and congratulations to him on the win at Eagle FC.
You say Jones has had so much hate like Jon's actions didn't have anything to do with it....you can only claim to be a good Christian man while your actions are consistently opposite of that before people start calling BS...I'd say Jones has earned every bit of hate thrown his way....
Fucking steroids!! They was all doping back then till usada came even your hero randy couture You think the only reason jones has cleaned out three generations of the light heavyweight division is cause of steroids?? Like ? Like if he was clean he would have lost?? Of the fact he got lit 4 weeks before every fight which was Def not helping at all But the exact opposite Reyes 😆 🤣 You gota beat the champ ! Take the belt can't leave it to the refs!! In any combat sport
Jon Jones is the greatest cage fighter of all time, I don’t understand why people are in any way suprised he’s got a wild side, I mean it comes with the territory
The part about Jon being a risk taker and he lives life that way, kind've reminds me of the way Michael Jordan is with the gambling. Like Jordan probably has a little of the same energy JBJ does, but he was able to focus it into an arguably healthier direction with the gambling
My friend Tommy(RIP) trained at Jacksons when Jon first came in to their camp. He sparred alot with Condit, GSP, Cerrone, the smaller pro fighters at Jacksons. He said Jon was incredibly naturally skilled. He was smart and his fighting instincts were crazy. He also said Jon was really smart and really confident, but the one vice Jon has that he noticed was that Jon was very impulsive. He said Jon was really impulsive and would do things with zero thought and alot of it depended on who was around him. But he also clarified that Jon's impulsiveness and wild side is what made him such a good fighter.
@@lb7368 I wish that were true but the people who are Rich for life are people who are endorsed and sponsored for life - Beckham, Brady, Floyd, Canelo, MMA fighters are paid nowhere near other top athletes unless they market themselves perfectly like McGregor. Hence why you see the Current MMA heavyweight champion not resigning with the UFC. Jon Jones’ behavior have made those sponsorship opportunities extinct one would think.
@@npd6225 you have to take into consideration that Jon Jones might have made some investments that keep bringing in money so yeah it's very possible that he can be rich for life without the endorsements but because of investments
Haha, Patrick is naturally inclined toward intellectual conversations. His style of communication always sounded the same even across different genres of discussions-building up a structured statement and then instantly breaking it down into segments that he can zoom in on and use to generate his follow up questions, opinions, facts, comparisons or whatever else. While his style suits his own field perfectly, in this particular interview, he sounded like a real businessman or rather an investigator on Rashad's story 😂. Joe Rogan's style is perfect in my opinion for this interview. That's just my observation as a subscriber on this Valuetainment podcast 🎉
I don’t mean to sound disconnected here. I want to say is what is this pressure that we keep putting on John Jones to be this lead example to society? He’s a great fighter and that’s why we cherish him but is there a requirement to also be a great human being? What is this narrative really about, is this our problem or his 🤔
Bro you got me laughing my ass off...like Rashad's calm demeanor speaking about Jones now vs how he spoke to and of Jones leading up to their fight...now he's a humbled little bitch, careful not to say anything bad about Jones ..
Where Patrick is dead wrong, is Jon was really the most gifted MMA fighter ever at that time. A teammate (Brian Stann) said that he was mauling everyone from day one. He became the champ at 23, once in a generation type of talent.
I agree Jon jones is the Greatest to ever do this please stop the hate, people opinions are horrible they tend to think they are Gods. Every person on this panel besides Rashad can’t even try to relate to who Jon Jones is. Bunch of pure Haters!!!!!
What a humble man this guy is. Never paid much attention. To ufc and Jon jones is so good that I started looking into it more and I came across this interview and what a genuine soul and seems like a good man Enjoyed this
You can tell Rashad Evans genuinely cares about Jon. He seems to have had an extreme self reflection. He seems very careful not to judge Jon.
I'm thinking that Evans may have gone through that period he mentioned where suddenly no one can squeeze value from him anymore, before his comeback to Eagle FC.

You think the only reason jones has cleaned out three generations of the light heavyweight division is cause of steroids?? Like ? Like if he was clean he would have lost??
Of the fact he got lit 4 weeks before every fight which was Def not helping at all
But the exact opposite
Reyes 😆 🤣
You gota beat the champ !
Take the belt can't leave it to the refs!!
In any combat sport
@@Hunter_s_morrison pictograms all the way yo
@@Hunter_s_morrison Reyes beat the champ.
I LOVE the way Rashad answers questions!!! You can tell why they wanted him as an analyst!
Jon Jones is the greatest cage fighter of all time, I don’t understand why people are in any way suprised he’s got a wild side, I mean it comes with the territory
All I'm surprised about is him being the greatest of all time, that's news to me haha
@@mmatrix3998 if he gets the heavyweight title it's solidified.
@@mmatrix3998 did you not watch the heavyweight title fight last week? He’d beat them both in the same night
@@JackG98 Bro get off Jon's nuts. Even Jon wouldn't want to fight them on the same night you sound like a groupie.
@@mmatrix3998 not even a Jones fan but hard to not come to that conclusion after watching the Gane Ngannou fight
Mane I didn’t expect that from Evan’s.. good talk champ
The part about Jon being a risk taker and he lives life that way, kind've reminds me of the way Michael Jordan is with the gambling. Like Jordan probably has a little of the same energy JBJ does, but he was able to focus it into an arguably healthier direction with the gambling
Always loved Rashad. Good guy.
0:29 Patrick almost said, "You were that Nigga"😅
My friend Tommy(RIP) trained at Jacksons when Jon first came in to their camp. He sparred alot with Condit, GSP, Cerrone, the smaller pro fighters at Jacksons.
He said Jon was incredibly naturally skilled. He was smart and his fighting instincts were crazy. He also said Jon was really smart and really confident, but the one vice Jon has that he noticed was that Jon was very impulsive. He said Jon was really impulsive and would do things with zero thought and alot of it depended on who was around him.
But he also clarified that Jon's impulsiveness and wild side is what made him such a good fighter.
Jon Jones will end up on the street/jail with nothing. Guys like him need to lose it all before it finally clicks. Sad, but true.
Maybe jail , but that dude rich for life no streets
@@lb7368 I wish that were true but the people who are Rich for life are people who are endorsed and sponsored for life - Beckham, Brady, Floyd, Canelo, MMA fighters are paid nowhere near other top athletes unless they market themselves perfectly like McGregor. Hence why you see the Current MMA heavyweight champion not resigning with the UFC. Jon Jones’ behavior have made those sponsorship opportunities extinct one would think.
Yeah I guess we could call him the modern day Mike Tyson with all this trouble making stuff.
I hope not, we may never see an invincible LHW or big man like him again, shame to see him have a bad end
@@npd6225 you have to take into consideration that Jon Jones might have made some investments that keep bringing in money so yeah it's very possible that he can be rich for life without the endorsements but because of investments
Haha, Patrick is naturally inclined toward intellectual conversations. His style of communication always sounded the same even across different genres of discussions-building up a structured statement and then instantly breaking it down into segments that he can zoom in on and use to generate his follow up questions, opinions, facts, comparisons or whatever else. While his style suits his own field perfectly, in this particular interview, he sounded like a real businessman or rather an investigator on Rashad's story 😂. Joe Rogan's style is perfect in my opinion for this interview. That's just my observation as a subscriber on this Valuetainment podcast 🎉
Dude asks the most long winded questions ever. Had to forward it whenever he spoke
Didn't it drive you nuts the way he was saying cormier's name
Me too!😂😂😂😂
Wise words from Rashad especially about change
Jones never quit. Never even rocked in cage . I don't think he can be defeated. It's like a curse . Or a blessing from his point of view
Gus won 3 rounds
Santos won 3 rounds
Reyes won 3 rounds
Jones has had 3 lucky split decisions
@@chewbaccasaw5232 the Reyes fight was the only one that was truly a robbery. The other 2 were pick ems
Rashad is one of THE nicest guys in all of MMA. LOVE AND RESPECT 🙏🏻 ❤️
Yes 💯❤️‼️🔥⚡️brother Rashad is a warrior of God! ❤️❤️❤️🙏‼️⚡️🦁🙌😊
I don’t mean to sound disconnected here. I want to say is what is this pressure that we keep putting on John Jones to be this lead example to society? He’s a great fighter and that’s why we cherish him but is there a requirement to also be a great human being? What is this narrative really about, is this our problem or his 🤔
Beautiful, no judgment or criticism.
The guy who beat the shit out of Rashad. That's who Jon Jones really is.
A steriod cheat that beats his fiancé. That's who Jon Jones really is.
Bro you got me laughing my ass off...like Rashad's calm demeanor speaking about Jones now vs how he spoke to and of Jones leading up to their fight...now he's a humbled little bitch, careful not to say anything bad about Jones ..
Great video!!
Where Patrick is dead wrong, is Jon was really the most gifted MMA fighter ever at that time. A teammate (Brian Stann) said that he was mauling everyone from day one. He became the champ at 23, once in a generation type of talent.
🤡🤡🤡
Bro this guy doesn’t let Rashad talk at all. Give Rashad his respect he also is, a UFC Champion.
Love your channel
All you JJ haters need to watch this.
Not one of you has a clue what it would be like to be that great at so young and for so long.
I agree Jon jones is the Greatest to ever do this please stop the hate, people opinions are horrible they tend to think they are Gods. Every person on this panel besides Rashad can’t even try to relate to who Jon Jones is. Bunch of pure Haters!!!!!
Talented? Yes.
Steroid cheat? Yes.
That kicks him out of the GOAT game.
@@sanatsrivastava2814 Wrong.
I remember Rashad on the original
TUFs when Matt Hughes was coach
What a humble man this guy is.
Never paid much attention. To ufc and Jon jones is so good that I started looking into it more and I came across this interview and what a genuine soul and seems like a good man
Enjoyed this
These are the types of interviewers we need more of. He asks good questions to good guests
Dude, it took him over a minute to get his first question out. Are you doing an interview or giving a damn speech?
Blow off steam is a funny way of saying “He does blow” 😮💨😂🤣
DMT has made this man turn into a master splinter!!💪
