One of the unfortunate side effects of the UFC’s staggering growth has been the dilution of the talent pool. Dana White still puts on the
best MMA show on earth, but lately there has been an element of hype missing
from main events. Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans seems to remedy that perfectly.
This is a marquee matchup the UFC usually only boasts when the likes of
Anderson Silva or GSP are fighting. Evans presents the biggest challenge yet
for the seemingly indestructible Jones, possessing the speed, and intelligence
that could finally give the champ a run for his money. Jones on the other hand
has unprecedentedly ridiculous reach and striking ability, which will make it
tough for the smaller Evans to get inside and do damage. No matter what happens,
this is a much-needed clash of the Titans.
