UFC News: Rashad Evans Says Greg Jackson Only Cares About Greg Jackson

This just in: Don't expect top UFC light heavyweight title contender Rashad Evans and renowned MMA head coach Greg Jackson to exchange Christmas cards this year.

In a recent interview with MMA Weekly, Evans held nothing back when talking about what caused the riff between him and his now former coach.

"

Like I told Greg at the time, I told Greg I don’t think it would be a good idea, but Greg did what Greg wanted to do for Greg, Evans said, recalling when UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was recruited by Jackson.

"

Evans felt the move was selfish on Jackson's part and indicated that was not a unique instance either.

"

That’s the thing about him. Greg talks about "for the team, for the team." The team consists of "I" which is Greg Jackson. That’s what the team consists of, it’s about Greg Jackson getting the "Coach of the Year" awards. That’s what it consists of, Evans said.

"

Evans, who left Jackson's MMA after Jones won the title from Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128, seems to be the only fighter who has a negative opinion of how Jackson runs his gym.

Nevertheless, don't expect "Suga" to backtrack on his stance anytime soon.

"I wouldn’t bring myself with somebody that I knew would be a contender,” Evans stated. “I would never put myself in that position again.”

Since leaving Greg Jackson's camp, Evans has been training in the Boca Raton, Florida based "Blackzilians" team.

He formed with the school with the help of disgruntled former American Top Team fighters who left their camp due to undisclosed management issues.

Evans and Jones will finally settle their beef in the main event of this weekend's UFC 145 card after seeing the potential bout sidelined twice before (via MMA Junkie).
