Duuuude, so wth happened with Evans being his next opponent? I think I'd prefer to see Bones fight Evans and the winner facing Lyoto.
I feel like Evans is trying to delay the fight as much as possible to be honest and Jones seems to think so as well. If you read into his body language and voice you can see Evans isn't very confident whenever he's answering a question about Jones, I mean both times he had to face off after Jones in the cage (after the Shogun & Rampage fights) he stiffened up. Compare that to the time he faced off with Rampage and he was much more livlier and confident. I feel like he's shook and I'm far from a Jones fan. This is his third "injury" so far when he was supposed to fight Jones.. I actually like Evans but the whole thing is very suspicious to me.
I would agree with you if it where not for the fact that Evans broke his hand smashing Tito Ortiz's face in. Link http://www.fightline.com/fl/news/2011/1006/545353/rashad-evans/ Its going to take 3 week to rehab his hand after the pins are removed. Evans had no idea who would be the winner of the rampage vs jones when he we was breaking his hand on purpose on Tito's over sized head.
This kid is already fighting the cream of the crop......and winning. His resume is already more stacked than most veteran mma'ers.
Very interesting matchup for jones. I really want to see how jones deals with machidas effasiveness and counter style. Machida also has solid take down deffence. I hope we finally get to see jones chin tested.
