One former Jon Jones training partner believes “Bones” will continue his extended run of success when he moves to the heavyweight division.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, former Jackson-Wink MMA teammate Rashad Evans discussed Jones’ potential at heavyweight. After Evans spit from the Albuquerque, N.M.-based camp, he faced Jones for the 205-pound title at UFC 145, losing a five-round verdict on April 21, 2012. While there was once bad blood between the two rivals, Evans still has plenty of respect for Jones.
“Jon moving up, it’s going to be a continuation of the legacy of Jon Jones,” Evans said.
