Rashad was wrong to me. He was putting negative energy to him saying he’s nothing special when clearly he was. Jon stood out Rashad came across as some one who was envious
Interesting how they react to him. I remember when Machida won the belt he almost cried, he said, "people.. i have to say a couple of words for you.. if you have a dream in your life.. go ahead.. its possible." He has always been a very disciplined / respectful fighter. Absolutely, Machida would have won. JJ is the "bigger" fighter, not the "better" fighter. JJ cuts alot of weight and is about 10lbs shy of a being a HW. Put JJ against a small HW like Cain and see how well he matches up.
that's exactly what i've been telling ppl. If Machida had Jones' body, reach and frame, there's no telling how much more damage he could inflict on Jones. i would love to see him move up to HW - Dos Santos, Overeem, and Cain - really interesting match-ups.
I'm sick of these people hating on Jon Jones while deep down inside they know he's the best LHW fighter out there. The only excuse to all their hate is that he says he's the best... THEN PROVES IT!!!
It's sad how fame breaks up friendships. These guys use to be bros once. look at them now they're at each others throats. personally i'm a jon jones fan ive been watching his fights since fight night and hes a damn good fighter but Rashad himself is a good fighter and he has a very good chance of winning this fight.I have a feeling Rashad will win and Jones will learn his lesson and come back even stronger. right now jones is a bit full of himself but im still a fan due to his performance.
Yeah, I just seen the UFC primetime Jones vs Evans episode. When you see JJ go into that octagon in the beginning of the episode, man... he looks like a giant compared to Rashad. They say he walks around at 229lbs (Cain weighs in at 240). I wish the UFC did same day weight-ins, it would force fighters to fight at their natural weight classes. GSP is also guilty of this practice, he walks around a confirmed 194lbs and fights at 170lbs. Have GSP fight A. Silva or gain 10lbs & fight Hendo at 205.
Saw Jones in Chicago for the Fox 2 show and he was cocky as hell when the cameras were off in the Fox booth. He acted like he was God's gift to ever1 there!!
i'm not saying the fight wasn't fair, i'm saying Lyoto would be a lot tougher for Jones he had the same frame and reach. Struve is not Jones' Heavyweight equal.
hahaha this is fukin awesome. rashad has a habit of having a trash talking contest everytime he has a fight and so does jon jones. it makes for a perfect fight. and its the two best fighters fighting ontop of that. this is the fight the world wants to see.
@pgravity At the UFC 140 weigh-ins in Canada, i was stunned because the Canadians booed Jon Jones - booed him bad, and cheered for Machida. So i found some kind of comfort..in that maybe there are a lot of people out there, especially in Canada, that aren't easily fooled by people like Jones. I still think Machida could beat if they had a rematch. But yeah, Evans by KO or submission.
Rashad really acted like a big kid in this interview. He knows what Bones is capable of, that's why he didn't want Greg Jackson to accept him into his gym in the first place. Jones finished 2 fighters that Rashad couldn't and I think that gets to him too. There's nothing wrong with believing that you're living your destiny. All this talking Rashad is doing to win this argument won't win him the fight. Jon is improving in every fight.
Use to like jones and still think he is a great fighter but fucking hell he is full of himself. He's not even cocky with a ton of charisma. Saying that he will beat rashad.
if i beat 2 former champions and took the title from the current champion then i would be confident as well...not to mention he demolished the TUF winner in ryan bader
Evans has the exact same outlook on emotions as Jones. "If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good you fight good" All positivity which is great for a fighters mind. Evans CAN NOT STAND to see someone else that is more positive than him. Telling Jones that his positivity is a bad outlook was weak. Evans should win the fight if he gets the head movement back he didn't use last fight. But jesus that dude has a terrible personallity.
@neoAlchemist684 Totally agree with you. I would get flack from my friends when I would point out JJs personality when he first joined the UFC. Ive done clinical psychology for 10 yrs, countless counseling sessions w people. I know when people lack transparency. I would tell my friends,"dude, this guy is fake, hes not real, he is like a parrot - only repeating what hes heard". But, i was labeled a hater. I understood what Rashad was talking about. That proverb best explains JJ.
no,UFC is making Rashad look bad,look at him when he was comin to his Phil Davis fight,they were showin clips of him as a family man and how he couldnt be with them cause of training.BUT NOW,theyre not showing any of that.theyre only showing his bad side,so that its more of an epic fight.Honestly though,I think Jones is gonna get the win here
Man rashad is really mean. Wtf hes the older one and hes talking like a kid. Talk with ur hands rashad. Its like hes more worried about talking trash then the actual fight
@Staticseven1 Great job not explaining how Jones is fake. "things he does and the things he says are different" How ??? When did Jones say anything against dropping Rampage and Machida? You make no sense dude.
Most people can't relate to bones because most people are no like him. look Michael Jordan and many other great one have the mind set that bones does hate all you want but the fact is bone is the champion many mms fighters but One champion .
At least Jones didn't mail an opponent a snuggie with "so you can be warm when I knock you out" and then have a sucky fight with said opponent. Evans comes off like a douche in this interview, IMO!
@dudetyful rashad's personality has nothing to do with Jon Jones backstabbing him.. Rashad always talks trash before a fight thats how he preforms, thats how he sells fights. Some fans love certain fighters to do it but when Rashad does it most people see it as cocky and arrogant don't ask me why because i don't know its just how they are. if you look after any rashad weigh inn or fight he is always bood
@pgravity he claims to be christian but i guess he's never heard Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. i hope Rashad submits or KO's him. i hope that so bad.
evans called jones on his demise in 2012 wow prediction revealed to be true.... I think witth this new testosterone shit jones is going through its gonna be way worse then the Coke if they find out hes been doing test too.
Rashad is obviously bitter and envious, we all fall short, rashad is just tryna keep score on a moral stand point , which ironically is immoral lol just like a lot Jon’s haters, they’re praying on his downfall thinking that makes them morally better than him, bc of Jon’s crimes as if that’s an argument you can make to God when you are judged, “ well I wasn’t as bad as Jon jones at least” 😂
Is this a wwe fight or UFC fight? Who cares about how they feel I just wanna see them fight... Pretty positive jones will put a woopin on Evans just as bad as machida did if not worse... Can't wait to see that, I hate rashad. Every time he talks I picture him doing the stanky leg..
@Staticseven1 After all the shit Rampage was talking he deserved it. Plus what did u expect him to do after the Machida fight? Lay him down gently n put a pillow under his head? What about when Evans sent Rampage a snuggie saying "That way after u get knocked out u could be nice n warm" N all he did was lay on him unlike Jones who finished Rampage. Or how bout when Evans was talking shit to Machida saying "Is that all u got!" Right b4 Machida knocked his ass out lol
Here we are in late 2021 and Rashad's assessment of Jon just continues to ring true.
they are very cool now though
Mystic Suga... 2021 and jones proves him right yet again
3:00 or so ... Now we know what Rashad was talking about...
mannnnnnnnn rashad called it..watching this interview today and was like wow
@@edon8531 yup everybody who trained with him always knew
Boy do we ever
"it's a cold world out there, and this world will pass you by if you give anything over you're self". It is so true!
Damn, it's tough seeing Jones talking about him being the greatest after watching all his recent downfalls
still the goat
“He wanna smash me as bad as I wanna smash him”. Pause 💀🤣
Rashad was wrong to me. He was putting negative energy to him saying he’s nothing special when clearly he was. Jon stood out
Rashad came across as some one who was envious
Yeah cus Jones destroyed the guys Rashad had trouble with. But Rashad was right about everything else
Even though they're arguing, it still kind of seems like they're friends.
That Iverson reference, haha
Interesting how they react to him. I remember when Machida won the belt he almost cried, he said, "people.. i have to say a couple of words for you.. if you have a dream in your life.. go ahead.. its possible." He has always been a very disciplined / respectful fighter. Absolutely, Machida would have won. JJ is the "bigger" fighter, not the "better" fighter. JJ cuts alot of weight and is about 10lbs shy of a being a HW. Put JJ against a small HW like Cain and see how well he matches up.
jones continues to fuck up as always
All the hype is probably more exciting than the actual fight will be
hes not cocky he is confident u need to see the difference cocky would be rashad cocky is talking down to ppl like rashad did that hole interveiw
that's exactly what i've been telling ppl. If Machida had Jones' body, reach and frame, there's no telling how much more damage he could inflict on Jones. i would love to see him move up to HW - Dos Santos, Overeem, and Cain - really interesting match-ups.
I'm sick of these people hating on Jon Jones while deep down inside they know he's the best LHW fighter out there. The only excuse to all their hate is that he says he's the best...
THEN PROVES IT!!!
6:00
Jon Jones is an absolute SAVAGE. Owned Rashad at his own joke when Rashad thought he knew what Allen Iverson meant 😂😂😂
Jon wants to be an inspiration, he believes in him self. Different than being cocky.
That "fabric is fake" line...
It's sad how fame breaks up friendships. These guys use to be bros once. look at them now they're at each others throats. personally i'm a jon jones fan ive been watching his fights since fight night and hes a damn good fighter but Rashad himself is a good fighter and he has a very good chance of winning this fight.I have a feeling Rashad will win and Jones will learn his lesson and come back even stronger. right now jones is a bit full of himself but im still a fan due to his performance.
The story at 6:20 where Rashad tells about the day he held Jones down is a true story, because I was there when it happened.

rashad was right....jones fell
Saw Jones in Chicago for the Fox 2 show and he was cocky as hell when the cameras were off in the Fox booth. He acted like he was God's gift to ever1 there!!
Not sure Jon Jone's new attitude and "I'm not a drop in a bucket" comment warrants him wearing that Jeet Kune Do t-shirt anymore
i'm not saying the fight wasn't fair, i'm saying Lyoto would be a lot tougher for Jones he had the same frame and reach. Struve is not Jones' Heavyweight equal.
couldn't have said better myself.
"MY storyline is much more bigger than this fight". If that doesnt say Jon Jones lacks being humble, I dont know what will.
Just a drop in the bucket

I think my hatred for Jon Jones grows with every interview I see him do. I started off not minding him either.
I hope Rashad smashes him.
TheLastFraudster about that
Rashad = King of mind games.
Jones will lose, but not to Rashad. I'm calling it.
cant wait for this fight regardless.
hahaha this is fukin awesome. rashad has a habit of having a trash talking contest everytime he has a fight and so does jon jones. it makes for a perfect fight. and its the two best fighters fighting ontop of that. this is the fight the world wants to see.

Never have and never will understand y u all hate on Jon jones. He's a good guy
it may not be rashad but he will be humbled by someone
Please let there be a double KO. I'm actually choosing Rashad to win over Jones though, that's weird as I could never stand Rashad.
Rashad really acted like a big kid in this interview. He knows what Bones is capable of, that's why he didn't want Greg Jackson to accept him into his gym in the first place. Jones finished 2 fighters that Rashad couldn't and I think that gets to him too. There's nothing wrong with believing that you're living your destiny.

Use to like jones and still think he is a great fighter but fucking hell he is full of himself.
He's not even cocky with a ton of charisma.
Saying that he will beat rashad.
Jones compared himsellf to ali?
if i beat 2 former champions and took the title from the current champion then i would be confident as well...not to mention he demolished the TUF winner in ryan bader
Rashad is slightly jealous of Jones but he's still more funny and can tool him verbally.
'cause you will FALL
Evans has the exact same outlook on emotions as Jones. "If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good you fight good" All positivity which is great for a fighters mind. Evans CAN NOT STAND to see someone else that is more positive than him. Telling Jones that his positivity is a bad outlook was weak.
Evans should win the fight if he gets the head movement back he didn't use last fight. But jesus that dude has a terrible personallity.
Lol aged like milk
When you have to talk about how you are a role model and how people can learn from you, that's being arrogant.
if the the champ doesn't think hes the best then just hand over your title now
@neoAlchemist684 Totally agree with you. I would get flack from my friends when I would point out JJs personality when he first joined the UFC.

@Staticseven1 So do u have n e thing to base your OPINION on?
true that.
no,UFC is making Rashad look bad,look at him when he was comin to his Phil Davis fight,they were showin clips of him as a family man and how he couldnt be with them cause of training.BUT NOW,theyre not showing any of that.theyre only showing his bad side,so that its more of an epic fight.Honestly though,I think Jones is gonna get the win here
What did you watch?
JEET KUNE DO tee..!! nice
Jones whipped his punk ass shortly after...
every interview rashad has to try to make everyone laugh to feel like he's important.
Rashad is right about Bones arrogance, but Rashad is gonna lose this fight.
Like Mohammed Ali
Man rashad is really mean. Wtf hes the older one and hes talking like a kid. Talk with ur hands rashad. Its like hes more worried about talking trash then the actual fight
@Staticseven1 Great job not explaining how Jones is fake. "things he does and the things he says are different" How ??? When did Jones say anything against dropping Rampage and Machida? You make no sense dude.
Rashad Evans is going to get his ass handled 2 him.
seems legit
Most people can't relate to bones because most people are no like him. look Michael Jordan and many other great one have the mind set that bones does hate all you want but the fact is bone is the champion many mms fighters but One champion .

Not close range inside a house........ shotgun wins. stupid argument
@pgravity he claims to be christian but i guess he's never heard Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. i hope Rashad submits or KO's him. i hope that so bad.
Oh, the irony.
evans called jones on his demise in 2012 wow prediction revealed to be true.... I think witth this new testosterone shit jones is going through its gonna be way worse then the Coke if they find out hes been doing test too.

Rashad makes no sense in this video, he sounds like a hater from start to finish of this video.
jones is so lame lol he'd be a teachers pet if he was in your class
Rashad makes himself look bad. Used to be a fan of his. But, damn, his attitude is wack.
Lol he start laughing bout the, time rash ad held him down on practice
@krb0123 Ya I hate him to
jojones is really cocky i think that we all know that now.
jon is way too cocky
only thing fake about jon jones is his white accent. he must work on that in the mirror.
I can't stand listening to jon jones talk, you can tell he is fake, he always tries to say the right thing
This guy is a clown!
