Following his title win over Shogun Rua on Saturday night at UFC 128, Jon Jones stood face to face in the octagon with friend and former training partner, Rashad Evans. Over the last year of training and spending free time together the two fighters had grown close. In mixed martial arts however, especially when it comes to world titles, friends can quickly become enemies and brothers can become bitter foes. With Jones’ win, Evans stands in front of the new champion as his next opponents. Here’s what Rashad had to say in regards to the falling out between he and Jones and why he feels he has no other choice but to beat up his “little brother”
