Jon Jones tipped to rule UFC heavyweight division by former rival, ‘his IQ inside the Octagon can’t be surpassed’

UFC Hall of Famer Rashad Evans hasn’t fought in the UFC since 2018. Despite not competing since then, he’s stayed close to the action—working the desk for the UFC’s ESPN broadcasts. Evans also recently announced that he would return to competition, though not in MMA. The former UFC light heavyweight champ said he wants to try boxing and that he’s the ideal next opponent for Logan Paul.

Recently Evans spoke to TMZ. But he didn’t speak about the famous YouTuber. Instead he chatted about his former training partner turned foe—Jon Jones—who he fought for the UFC title at UFC 145 in 2012.
