UFC 133: Rashad Evans Talks Phil Davis, Feud with Jon Jones

Mike HodgesMay 11, 2011

While Rashad Evans prepares for his bout against Phil Davis, the former UFC light heavyweight champion took time out of his busy schedule to sit down with ESPN.com.

It's certain to say, he had a lot on his mind.

Evans, who appeared at the UFC Summit in Las Vegas, spoke of his ongoing feud with Jones and it seems as though his animosity has grown towards the 23-year-old in the past few months via Twitter.

"Yeah I was gettin' into it. I like to talk, and I was gettin' real excited about it. There were a lot of things that made me mad about the whole situation so...I definitely wanted to address a few things," Evans said. 

The former training partners have suddenly grown apart within the past few months, and their feud escalated further when it was learned that Evans would be facing Jones for the light heavyweight title. It is something Evans has been quite vocal of and as a result, he decided to cut off ties between himself and Greg Jackson's MMA.

Since departing from his former camp, Evans has traveled elsewhere to train.

"I'ma do a little bit in Florida, I'ma do some in Arizona, and I'ma try to get up to New York City and do some training."

In the meantime, Evans will have to turn his attention to Phil Davis, who has replaced Jones after a hand injury forced him to withdraw from UFC 133. Evans looked at the contrast between Davis and Jones and said Davis still has some maturing to do as a fighter.

"Jon is more confident. Jon will throw something, and just believe it's going to hit 100%. Phil is still at the point where he's unsure," he said. 

UFC 133 is scheduled for August 6 live from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
