Rashad Evans vill aldrig möta Anthony Johnson

Rashad Evans och Anthony Johnson är inte bara träningspartners, de ligger också väldigt nära i UFC:s ranking över lätt tungviktare. Dock så kommer det inte bli så att de möts inne i oktagonen, i varje fall om man lyssnar på Evans.

Här kan ni läsa vad Rashad hade att säga om att möta Anthony, via ”The MMA Hour”:

We fight all the time, man. We fight more than the UFC could pay us. We fight everyday, we are each others number one training partners. Would I fight him professionally? No, I wouldn’t fight him. I see no need to fight him, man.

We feed each other in a lot of different ways, I can’t. I know people will be like, Oh, my God, we’ve heard this before. It may be happening again.’ But I believe with the relationship Anthony and I have, that bridge is a bridge that if it ever needs crossing, we will find a different way to handle it, than it did the first time (with Jon Jones).

I övrigt spelar det inte så stor roll vem Evans får möta härnäst, då han siktar på att återvända in i oktagonen runt februari efter att knät har återhämtat sig ordentligt:

The knee is coming along pretty well. I just didn’t want to put myself in a situation where I’m trying to come back too soon and then injure it more. So I am really taking my time with therapy and taking some down time just to allow my mind not to push my body too far past its limits right now.

I want to return in February. That’s me giving myself enough time to make sure that I feel comfortable getting back in there. I know when I get back in there, it’s nothing but tough guys in my way, so I know I’m going to have a tough road ahead, so I am going to be ready for that.

I was thinking like that before, I was like, ’I would be fun to fight Glover or whoever, but honestly speaking, the way things are shaking up in the weight class, whoever I fight it’s going to be an interesting match up. I have a lot to prove coming back from the injury and trying to make that push for the title. Whoever they have up there, and whoever is ready for me. Whoever they put me up against, I’m ready for whatever.

Rashad har i dagsläget radat upp två raka segrar sedan han förlorade mot Jon Jones och Antonio ”Lil Nog” Nogueira, där den senaste vinsten var en TKO-seger över Chael Sonnen vid UFC 167.
