Rashad Evans Says He'll Move Weight Classes If Jon Jones Wins Title

An injury has forced Rashad Evans out of his crack at Shogun Rua next month for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title and in his place, teammate Jon Jones, who trains with Evans at Greg Jackson's in Albuquerque, NM and if you're wondering what means for the two 205lb fighters, it means Evans will be moving weight classes if Jones wins:<br><Br>

"I'm happy for Jones, I think it's a great fight for him. I think Jones is gonna smash Rua. Training with Jones in practice, he's one of the best guys I've ever trained with. The level he's gotten to so fast is scary and alarming. He's one of those guys at the gym, he'll be the first one there and the last one to leave? He's hungry, he wants it, so I'm glad if it's going to be someone to step into my place, I'm glad it's him. I'm still not going to fight Jon. I will always find something to challenge myself. I will go up to heavyweight or down to middleweight, but I will not fight Jon."<br><Br>
