Rashad Evans on Jon Jones: “I know one thing… I can make him quit and he will quit”

Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Rashad Evans has been giving his thoughts on a potential fight against former friend and training partner, Jon Jones, explaining at the end of the day he knows he can make him quit… and he will make him quit.

Speaking via Fight Week, Evans said:

“It would be amazing to beat Jon Jones for that belt. I know if I get to fight Jon Jones for that belt, I know I’m going to beat Jon Jones. I already know it and Jon knows it. You know, for some reason, he has like a fear and maybe it’s because of what he knows I can do. But he tries to pretend like he’s cocky and pretend like he’s this, that and the other but he knows what time it is. It’s no accident that he figured out he didn’t have to have thumb surgery after I signed to fight Phil Davis.”

“After we were supposed to fight in September on the Denver card. That’s no accident. That’s not something that just happens. He knew what he was doing. He know what time it is. There’s a reason why he did that whole situation. There’s a reason why everytime he sees me, he tries to act all huffy and puffy and he wants to act like he’s tough or try to portray like he is. I see right through that kid. He knows I see him. I know all his weaknesses and I know how to capitalize on those weaknesses. I only need to know one thing about that dude — he will quit. My technique could be total sh*t, trash. But I know one thing… I can make him quit and he will quit.”

Evans could book himself a title shot against the winner of the Jon Jones vs. Quinton “Rampage” Jackson clash if he can get past another former champion in the form of Tito Ortiz at UFC 133 early next month in Philadelphia. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as we get it.
