UFC 145: Jon Jones Won't Ask Greg Jackson To Corner Him Against Rashad Evans

Photo by Esther Lin for MMA Fighting.

UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones called in to the MMA Hour today. Jones spoke with host Ariel Helwani about his upcoming title defense against former teammate Rashad Evans. Evans beat Phil Davis this past Saturday at UFC on Fox 2 in a number one contender's match.

The two fighters have been engaged in a bitter feud ever since Jones stepped in for an injured Evans to take a title shot against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128. Jones won that fight handily and Evans has been trying to get a title shot ever since.

Helwani asked Jones if Greg Jackson would be cornering him against Evans.

"Rashad and Greg had some genuine moments and I wouldn't put him in that position. ...I could never imagine [Jackson] coaching against me, and I wouldn't put that pressure on him to coach against Rashad," Jones replied.

Despite the acrimony, Jones hopes that he and Evans can improve their relationship once they have fought.

"I'd love to have a respectful relationship with him, because actually, deep down, I kind of just liked hanging with the guy," said Jones. "He was cool. We had good times. We did a lot of cool stuff together and it sucked that competition came between our friendship. After this fight, I just hope that the respect can be restored. Friendship is not necessary, but the respect should be restored," Jones told Helwani.

Jones also told Helwani that he

Not a good idea.

I don’t think Jones should do anything to change his routine. Even so, I don’t think Rashad will beat him, but this will definitely improve Rashad’s odds.

That's quite a respectful thing for Jones to do.

I don’t know how much a difference it will make, but i’m sure deep down Jacson wouldn’t have felt comfortable going up against Rashad like that.

It is, but did Jones have a choice?

Not sure Jones could have muscled Jackson into cornering him anyways.

Respect? Rashad earned a title shot after you beat Shogun. Suddenly you needed surgery to fix something that didnt need fixing. Rashad gets booked to keep busy and then you say ‘You know what? I dont need surgery. Give me a challenger who isnt busy.’

Cant respect ducking of that magnitude

Rashad gettin merked bad. I think Shogun and Machida are way better than Rashad and they got handled. And yes that is MMA math but Rashad getting KO’ed

I don't have much personal like for Jones.

But it is silly to suggest that he ducked Rashad. Why? b/c you can’t duck people in the UFC—Zuffa protects its investments, and if need be, it will fly you to see a freaking doctor of their choosing just so that you are not trying to pull shenanigans on their event schedule which is, allegedly, what Todd Duffee tried to do and then found himself getting cut.

But hellbows will definitely play their part. I can see it now, Rashad crumpled against the cage bleeding while Jones sinks in a medieval guillotine. It’s brutal, but awesome, and I don’t even hate Rashad.

But an RNC seams plausible after Rashad takes like 5 of those bows and turns around to the fetal position as Jones knees the shit out of his body until he rolls over, gives Jones the choke, and taps immediately

You have the people to think that because jon jones calls himself a christian that he has to be perfect and so they try to use every example of him being un-christain like as evidence that hes fake and a hypocrite.

Then you have the people who think jon jones is just evil and everything hes does or says that’s seemingly good is just being used by jon jones to appeal to the masses.

The truth is that jon jones is just a human being. And no human being is purely good or evil but a mix of both. But given that fact that he cares for his kids, donates to charities, and stops muggers…I inclined to believe hes more good than evil.

I know it didn't make much sense

I’m just saying that it seems like about 75% of the BE community just searches for reasons to hate Jones. The guy can’t do anything with out catching shit. His first time announcing for Fox and he catches shit. He chokes out Lyoto and doesn’t gently tuck him in and he catches shit. He is a consistently nice polite guy but damn near every one on BE accuses him of being a cocky arrogant dick. It’s not a big deal, it just strikes me as a funny tendency of people on BE to do this. GSP seems to be a target of this as well, not saying the complaints about him not finishing aren’t justified though.
