The OFFICIAL Jon Jones is Ducking Rashad Evans because Suga has a key for that lame ass riddle Thread.

[Krimzon7]

If you hit me with everything you have, AND IT FUCKING DOES NOT PHASE ME, and I can proceed to work my offense and get the better of you in a round, why the fuck would I be wary of your striking? Rashad has gone on record saying as much about sparring with Jon jones, multiple rounds on multiple days. If he believes that, why would he cower?

Regardless, all of this is a moot point, Jones is content to face rampage or machida next, due to unfortunate booking issues. All this could've been squashed had the next GOAT had stepped up and said he wanted to fight glass jaw Evans... But he didn't now, did he? Even with the rash of injuries ruining cards, it's hard to believe Dana would deny a hyped champ requesting a match with such a rival....

Are you really this naive/gullible/impressionable/that willing to buy into every word that Rashad comes out with? I suppose that if Rashad told everybody he was quitting the UFC to take a shot at the NFL and he can outplay Peyton Manning with his eyes closed, you'd be starting a thread about him taking over as the Colts starting QB. If you honestly, truly believe that in a training session in some mythological far away land that Jon Jones hit Rashad full contact with everything he has, after everything we've seen him do to the likes of Shogun, Matt Hamill and Brandon Vera, AND IT FUCKING DID NOT PHASE HIM then you are out of your deluded mind and I've got some broken electronics I'd like to sell to you. I'm surprised you didn't attempt to sue Rashad when he claimed he was going to 'beat Lyoto Machida in the 3rd round' only to get knocked silly. He is hyping the fight, he is trying to make people believe what he is saying (maybe even himself) he is trying to wind up/agitate Jones and maybe throw him off of his game but mostly he is creating a buzz and trying to do what all fighters benefit from which is sell tickets. You surely cannot be this dense/blindly spooning Rashad's balls.

Don't change the subject...this isn't a thread about how much Peyton manning sucks. I'm through trying to even explain a simple fact that there are rounds of full on, 100% sparring. They just don't happen every day. as much as you deep throat jon jones' striking, is shogun, vera, or hamill the caliber of athlete with the speed of Evans? Regardless, my cupping his balls have nothing to do with the fact that Rashad believes what he is saying. And he is willing to step in the octagon with jones (try to deny this fact). And for the myriad of suppositions, jones isn't willing to fight jonesright now. If you've EVER competed in anything athletic, you know there's practice. And you DO NOT GET BETTER IN PRACTICE IF YOU ARE BUSY PROTECTING OTHER PEOPLE. The higher up you go in any sport, the harder you have to train and practice. I'm sure that this too sounds ludacris to you too.

You do realize that guys don't go all out in training, right? I don't care what Rashad says, if you think guys are legitimately trying to KO their sparring partners in training, you're crazy. The only place they really train close to that hard is Chute Box I believe. And that's fucking stupid when there guys end up missing fights because they're getting ribs broken in sparring.

In my limited experience training...there are Definitely times where you hold back, and you do spare your partners.... But you HAVE to have rounds where you go into deep waters and both partners understand that shit is gonna get thick. Do I believe any sparring rumors? No, I don't. But rashad has sparred with him, And rashad believes he can be that dude to expose Jon Jones.
