Re: UFC 145 LINKS AND DISCUSSION (rashad evans vs jon jones)
Personally I had it down to this... Evans wasn't threatening enough and Jon Jones sensed that and fought accordingly. It's really no point in going all out and risking injury or getting caught with a surprise shot, if your opponent isn't posing a threat. Besides, they were training partners etc... and I'm pretty sure Jones (or both) was/were a tad bit reserved on some of his/their attacking. The "Round of the Elbows" was straight ridiculous... Jones caught Evans with so many front elbows that I thought he was gonna knock Evans out with one of them... he wobbled him a few times and then he went back to methodically hitting Evans with various body shots and counters.
Jones was literally picking and choosing what he wanted to do while realistically Evans just didn't stand a chance unless he would've tried to risk getting in close.. which he did a few times and he did catch Jones a few times real nice... but Evans isn't Quinton Rampage so those one off hits were not gonna knock Jones out. :jaynerd:

My nigga Jones did his ditty bop on Evans, shun!
