Jon Jones: Greg Jackson will be in my corner for Rashad Evans fight at UFC 145

Greg Jackson (left) with UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.

And the seesaw keeps going up and down, up and down, up and down.

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones will take on former friend and training partner Rashad Evans at the UFC 145 event scheduled for April 21, 2012, in Atlanta, Georgia. And just days after saying he didn't believe his coach, Greg Jackson, would be in his corner for the fight, Jones has made an announcement on Twitter to the contrary:

"Greg Jackson confirmed today he will be in my corner for UFC 145," Jones tweeted.

When the fight was first announced, Jackson initially washed his hands of it, claiming he was going to take a step back and let the two sort their differences out without his involvement.

He did this, of course, because he helped coach Evans to a title, no different than he did for Jones. Feeling as though it would be disloyal to both men to corner either of them in a fight against one another, Jackson simply stepped aside and said he would wait for the storm to pass.

Oh how quickly things change.

Apparently, Rashad has now made enough negative comments about his former gym to soothe Jackson's conscience, or enough at least that he'll be in Jones' corner on April 21 at the Philips Arena. Considering how well Jones and Evans know each other from their countless times training together, this could be what tips the fight in "Bones'" favor.

Then again, it could just add that little extra motivation to give "Suga" the push to take down the light heavyweight king. Which side are you on, Maniacs?

whoa we got a badass over here ^^

Rashad left Jackson’s MMA because Mr. Jackson betrayed the “FAMILY” in getting the title shot to Jones which isn’t wrong but then refusing to give Rashad any real training in fighting Jones while fighting under Jacksons MMA especially since Rashad had been at Jacksons considerably longer then Jones. Greg Jackson is a shady greedy business man. He goes where the money goes end of story. Greg Jackson would betray Jones just as fast as soon as the next generation of athletes arrives the “family” talk Is all horse shit lies

The UFC wanted a rematch because they want Diaz vs GSP. I’m guessing Condit was willing to rematch because it’s what the UFC wanted and from Diaz being sore, cry-baby loser.

Condit must be talented as hell. Apparently he ran away the whole time, yet was still able to outstrike Diaz. AMAZING!!!

And REAL mma fans are the ones that appreciate the sport of mma, including all the facets of it and smart gameplans. CASUAL mma fans are high maintenance and need to be catered with constant action/aggressive striking, even if their skills are inferior. Fans like you would be better off watching wwe, boxing, and fights at your local bar.

It's easy to outstrike someone when baby kicks count

In a pattycake contest, Condit wins every time.

Everybody knows Diaz wasn’t counting baby kicks. He was too busy snapping Condit’s head back when he wasn’t chasing the running man.

Number 1, that's subjective

Fightmetric claims Condit outstruck him in significant strikes as well.

Fightmetric sometimes helps, but not in this one

I watched the fight again to be sure. Condit lands a ton of ineffective shit in rounds 1-3. He finally gets off some combinations in 4 and 5, but by then it’s too late.

Diaz lands the more effective, harder strikes. Condit plays tippy toe and runs away. It’s kind of pathetic anyone could even give the guy a round, but when Diaz got bored in the fourth you gotta give it to somebody.

Yeah, you're right

Wasn’t even a mark on Diaz’s face! And most of the damage to him was to the body.

Diaz could’ve always turned up the aggression instead of just walking him down and throwing less-than-full-effort (i hope) shots. That’s why Diaz isn’t elite. He’s mostly a one-trick pony.

by UFChamp on Feb 18, 2012 11:42 PM EST up reply actions  

There were marks on Diaz's face because he generally walks through punches

But he wasn’t hurt and didn’t react to any of them. If you watch the first three rounds, Diaz gets off the bigger shots that snap Condit’s pinhead back on his skinny neck.

If Diaz cared more he could have definitely run down Condit. I think he was just surprised Condit fought like such a coward after promising to bring it.

Oh,

so you’re saying that Diaz is so aggressive that him hurling himself at his opponents’ limbs does more damage than the the strikes themselves? Gotcha

I seen plenty of nice strikes from both fighters. And you do know that a kick to the legs or body isn’t going to snap a head back, right? Maybe you should broaden the way you judge a fight.

Condit had nothing for Diaz

All Condit could do was run backwards and throw ineffective counter strikes. If that’s what you think marks a champion, then enjoy your champion. I think he proved he can’t fight or beat Diaz in any conventional sense of the term fighting.

Put aside any bias for a moment and think about it.

Diaz was the favorite because he has a great chin and amazing cardio. Also, Condit it lesser known. We hadn’t really seen Condit face someone who we perceived as being a top fighter. It was tough to imagine Condit finishing Diaz at all. That we doubted. We weren’t sure if Diaz could finish Condit or not. Diaz had more ways to win the match. Obviously it was on Condit to fight smart with a solid gameplan if he were to win this fight. I thought he’d try to take him down, but Diaz is probably better on the ground, so he decided against that. What else could he have done?

Exactly what he did do. Stick and move. Don’t turn it into a mindless brawl. Maybe try to frustrate Diaz into making a mistake. But you should know, Nick didn’t really go away from his plan, either, except for going for like 1 takedown. What Condit was doing was working for him, so he continued. Blame it on Diaz for stubbornly sticking with his ineffective plan and giving you a “boring” fight.

Condit fought with a great gameplan, can’t really blame hime for that. To be honest the first time I watched the fight live I though daiz won, but since watching it twice at home in quite enverment its ovious condit won.

Funny, that even if Diaz really won, a 2nd matchup with GSP would’ve scrapped because of him. Coincidence? Maybe Nick had 2nd thoughts about getting embarrassed. He did seem to do a 180 on his tone with GSP. We’ll find out. The UFC will do EVERYTHING they can to make that fight happen. If it doesn’t happen, it’s because Nick doesn’t want it to happen.

FACTS:

The NSAC bans the use of weed and tests for it.

Nick Diaz tested positive for weed and will be disciplined for it.

Do you disagree with either of these? Nick knows the rules from failing a test before. Why does he fail this test all of a sudden? Doesn’t he smoke weed all the time and brag about beating the tests with ease? Seems fishy to me. Did he think he could test positive and that he wouldn’t be punished at all?

Whether the NSAC is clean or not is irrelevant to these circumstances themselves. I think Dana’s issue had more to do with being too lenient with boxing.

While his wrestling is fantastic

He wasn’t able to dominate Rampage or Machida with it and I suspect for HWs 240+ it would be very similar. He wouldn’t have the leverage in greco that he does against short LHWs.

you really think Jones even has half a chance against the likes of the HW division?

If Alistair kneed him, he might actually break him in half.

Jones didn’t want to stand anywhere near Rampage and you think he’ll be a threat to HW’s?
Plus he relies on bullying smaller guys at LHW, that’s not going to happen at HW.

Jones is a remarkable specimen but he has a long way to go before he can dip his rod into the HW pool and make a wave.

Jones being the LHW champ would of course stand a chance at HW but there are a fair few guys that I’d take over him.

Jones doesnt cut that much weight.

He’s said it himself that he’s usually only about 15 pounds over the LHW limit. He did however say that his body will grow and he will be forced to move. This isnt like a forrest griffin type of case. You just assume that because he’s so tall that his weight should automatically be proportional. And call me delusional but no worries, most of these fights will take place and yes i will be right here trollin you when i am right. I am confident because in all the years i’ve been watching MMA – i’ve never seen a fighter with his thinking, learning and analytical skills. Most people are way too hung up on his physical attributes but there are plenty of athletic monsters in MMA.

How about i propose an idea?

Let’s make future sig bets for JBJ fights at HW until he wins that belt? I will take JBJ, you take whichever HW is on the otherside. You may choose to opt out if you dont think that one particular fighter will win. This would give me the best opportunity to troll you nonstop and see how hard you’ll laugh. Only way to resolve our differences lol

Lets just say hypothetically that jones does move up to hw.

Do you really think he could beat junior? Or reem for that matter? I believe he would spank several hws on the roster, but i dont think he could compete with the elite of the division…

by dragonassault on Feb 18, 2012 10:39 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

not only could he compete, he might dominate

Jones didn’t just out wrestle Rua, Rampage, machida. He beat the fuck out of them on the feet.

Not one thing. Meanwhile, Jones cut a vagina the size of Jenna Jameson on Machida’s forehead.

Machida landed nothing on Jones

You might be thinking of the stumble, which I suppose in the world of Jones haters equates to a 1-point knockdown and standing-8 count.

No. However, he did set up his choke with a standing strike that dropped Machida. It was the most significant standing action of the fight.

Machida certainly won the first

10-9. There was no “fuck” beaten out of anyone in that round, and the fact that you would even consider that “beating the fuck out of” Jon Jones is a testament to how dominant he is.

Got the knockdown in the second. Machida may have outpointed him by a bit in the first but it was Jones’ striking which set up his finish with the standing choke so I have a hard time with the idea that Machida “outstruck” Jones.

Why is this a problem??

Jackson originally said he would sit this one out……..maybe he would have stayed with this plan had Rashad not gone around crying like a little fuckin bitch. Apparently Rashad has talked quite a bit of shit, i don’t blame Jackson for lending a hand toward Rashad get knocked/choked out.

I never thought he wouldn’t corner him, i want to know why people have a problem with the fact that he is.

Go find your own links. I’m under the assumption (as is Geno) that Rashad has talked shit…hence the word “apparently.” ….and Rashad has been crying ever since he left Jackson’s. If you need a link to prove that, you’re beyond help. My question, in the subject line still stands, Why is this a problem? Rashad left his camp, and left on bad terms. Jones is still in his camp. Why does anyone have a problem with this?

I don’t have a problem with Jackson cornering Jones. Seems pretty obvious that the bridge between Evans and Jackson is burnt. I think Rashad knew Jackson would corner him anyway, so maybe that’s why he was willing to burn the bridge. Only crying I know about is that Rashad was surprised and disappointed that Jones said he’d fight him. The rest that I’ve heard about is just smack talk between Evans and Jones that has nothing to do with Jackson cornering him.

I don’t have a problem with Jackson cornering Jones

That’s kinda my point….i obvoiusly don’t have a problem with it, but it looks like many people are bagging on Jackson for choosing to corner Jones. Rashad left Jackson’s on his own, he wasn’t asked to leave. In fact, he had been there a lot longer than Jones had.

In reality, this is just another reason for a growing number of Jackson haters to pile on. The haters have been hating in overdrive since the Condit/Diaz fight. I’ve always been a fan of Jackson, despite everyone’s claim that he’s ruining MMA. The dude know how to win, as Rashad will soon be reminded.

I'm neutral on Jackson,

Don’t have an issue with his gameplans at all. And yes, Rashad was there longer. But I’m guessing Jones became Jackson’s top priority and then Jones said he’d fight Rashad. Wouldn’t it bother you if your coach and teammate tossed you aside to team up against you when you were under the impression that you were a loyal family? And again, what has Rashad “cried” about publicly about Jackson?

I'm not in their camp.....

but I highly doubt Jackson threw Rashad aside for Jones. He was coaching Jones when Rashad was on the sidelines with an injury……..also, when Jackson said he was sitting this out, it was specifcally because he wasn’t gonna choose one guy over the other. From Jackson’s perspective, both guys were still in his camp. Rashad didn’t have to leave, but he made the choice to leave. Rashad wasn’t tossed aside, yet I remember Rashad complaining about Jackson’s loyalty after he officially left his camp…..to me, that was crying….had Jackson asked him to leave it would be one thing, but that’s not what happened.

Can't really take Jackson's word at face value

He apparently claimed he wouldn’t corner Jones and that he wasn’t sure about cornering Jones long after Evans left. He was full of shit. C’mon, man…….add it up…..use some logic…….just because Jones himself said he’d fight Evans doesn’t have shit to do with why Evans would be upset with the camp. Rashad left because whatever happened, he felt he was disrespected. He shared his reasoning and that was it. I didn’t hear anymore crying about it, other than the build-up with Jones.
