Jon Jones is against fighting team mate Rashad Evans… unless it’s for one million dollars
Exciting UFC light heavyweight, Jon “Bones” Jones has been speaking about the possibility of facing his team mate and former champion, Rashad Evans inside the octagon, explaining he’s against the idea in principle, unless the reward was worth it.
Speaking via MMA Scraps Radio, Jones said:
“I am a Jackson fighter. Before I got accepted to Greg Jackson’s team he had a meeting with Rashad Evans, and he had a meeting with Keith Jardine and they decided to accept me and opened me up to the best training camp in the world, strength coaches, nutritionists… all this stuff they have that I didn’t have. So I would not fight them. That would be like fighting my brother.”
When asked about fighting Evans specifically, the New York native said:
“I guess I would for a million dollars. We spar together every day so I mean for a million dollars I guess we could put the 4-ounces on. Friendship is way more valuable than the money… These guys have opened my eyes up how to train as a pro-athlete and so it would just be wrong to use all that against them.”
Jones has been running through the competition at 205 pounds recently, destroying Brandon Vera in less than a round last time out, fracturing his cheekbone in three places in the process. Stay tuned to MMABay for news on his latest opponent as we get it.
