Jon Jones: It has been the most exhausting lead up against Evans – UFC News
While Rashad Evans cannot stop talking about Jon Jones, the latter thinks it is about time to stop. Jon Jones, in his recent interview, said that he would not say anything more since it has already been the most exhausting lead up to any fight.
Both the fighters will fight at UFC 145 to finally settle their grudges. During his interview, Jones was asked about what he has to say for Evans and he said, “I wouldn’t say it’s been the most exhausting lead up. It kinda reminds me of the ‘Rampage’ fight.
There was talking, there was drama. For the first time, I had people questioning my integrity. It was kinda troubling that people would think I would cheat. When somebody calls me fake or cocky that one thing. Somebody calling me a cheater, that got to me.
I’ve been in fights like this before. I just get tired of talking about the whole situation. I guess all the press we had to do. I just want to fight. I’ve talked about it long enough. We’ve said what we’ve got to say, but I’ve still got to do all these interviews.
I’ve been talking about it over a year.”
It should be noted here that Evans has nearly crossed the line this time by attacking Jones personally. Evans has repeatedly spoken of Jones unstable mental health and his fragile confidence, which according to Jones does not exist. Jones said that he is
a fighter who has no problems with anybody in the UFC and that whenever he is at an event he is all happy and hugging guys. He added that he is the type of person who would want to be at an event or in the locker with his opponent and not feel awkward about
it. In other words, Jones meant that he does not have any grudges against Evans. He then said that they both are adults and even he knows Evans personally but he will not say anything regarding it.
It should be noted here that both the fighters were once best friends. However, Rashad Evans has previously indicated that he will never again shake hands with Jones or be his friend.
