Jon Jones reveals he used to get the upper hand over Rashad Evans every time in the gym

UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones has been taking a pop at his old training partner and former friend, Rashad Evans this week, explaining he used to get the upper hand over him in training every time they fought, with several opportunities to finish the man dubbed “Suga” presenting themselves.
Speaking via ESPN.co.uk Jones said:

“We fought each other in practice. A finish has been possible several times and it has always been me finishing him. I never did it out of respect that he was the elder of the school. It’s against protocol in a way. Some people would do it but I believe in tradition. He has a lot to study. I have a lot to study, but I get to study[ing] more in-depth. He gets to study[ing] and gets a headache.”

Jones will likely take on Evans during the months of September or October after recovering from  two fights within a six week gap to capture the title. Will he once again get the upper hand of Evans, this time on the public stage of the octagon, or will Evans reverse his fortunes?
