During Wednesday’s Afternoon Press Box, Darren and the boys were joined by former UFC light heavyweight champion “Suga” Rashad Evans (15-1-1), who returns to action Saturday, Aug. 6, to face “Mr. Wonderful” Phil Davis (9-0) in a title eliminator UFC 133 main event.
In addition to discussing his thoughts concerning Davis and training for the fight, Evans talked at length about his on-going feud with former teammate and former friend, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones.
Evans also responded to statements made by another former UFC light heavyweight champ and former opponent, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, who was a guest on last week’s episode of Afternoon Press Box.
In addition to talking with Evans, the guys discussed Chael Sonnen‘s suspension and previewed this coming Saturday’s UFC 130 card, headlined by a light heavyweight match-up between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt “The Hammer” Hamill. All this and much more!
