The busy bee of the UFC will return this April.

Light heavyweight kingpin, Jon Jones, has made it clear to UFC President Dana White that he wants to be in constant rotation.

In 2011, the dynamo made four trips to the Octagon, three of which were contested in championship affairs against formidable opponents and former titleholders Mauricio Rua, Quinton Jackson and lastly Lyoto Machida.

Now, "Bones" Jones returns at UFC 145, where he meets arch rival Rashad Evans in the main event of the April 21 show, which takes place at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Evans and Jones go way back, as the 24-year-old Phenom first began to hone his skills with the Greg Jackson crew in 2009. Both men served as training partners out of the Albuquerque gym, where Jon was regarded as a touted up-and-comer and Evans, a former world champion, remained among the best in his class and was mantled as the No. 1 contender to the title. 

After Evans incurred an injury in the lead-up to his battle against "Shogun" at UFC 128, Jones stepped up to the plate to square off with the Brazilian last March, after submitting then undefeated collegiate wrestler Ryan Bader just a few weeks prior.

Jones emphatically finished the Pride vet, stopping him with strikes in the third round.

Soon after the victory, a rivalry began to brew between Jones and Evans—who opted to leave his familiar surroundings of Albuquerque, New Mexico in order to find less disarray in Boca Raton, Florida, where Imperial Athletics has welcomed him with open arms.

Bad feelings began when Jones said that he would have no issue facing Evans, so long as UFC President Dana White deemed that the fight will be cultivated. This didn't sit well with Evans, who accepted the challenge to face his former friend and teammate and the back-and-forth banter has heated up meticulously since then.

For a young guy like Jones, he has done and accomplished what nobody else has in arguably one of the most talent laden divisions in the sport. Coveted already as a pound-for-pound great, the New Yorker is in constant pursuit of motivation to hone his craft and become not just the best fighter, but the best martial artist he can be.

If there was any limitless source of motivation to enter the gym and put in the extra time to perfect his craft, it would be Evans—a man who has not pulled any punches with Jones, whom he feels has betrayed him on so many levels.

Come this April, two of the division's best will vie for much more than a belt, but for respect amongst one another, which is more than what either man can ask for.
