UFC 145 Video: Rashad Evans Analyzes Jon Jones Vs. Rampage Jackson

Fuel TV has released this very interesting video of Rashad Evans analyzing Jon Jones' UFC 135 title defense against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Evans, of course, will challenge Jones for the title at UFC 145 on April 21 in Atlanta Georgia. Evans famously beat Rampage by decision at UFC 114 after one of the bitterest feuds in UFC history.

Of course his feud with former teammate Jon Jones has, if anything, been even more bitter.

Some notes from Evans commentary:

• He's critical of Rampage for letting himself get pushed into the fence, fighting at the wrong range and standing right in front of Jones "watching him" instead of attacking.
• He's very complimentary of Jones' use of southpaw stance but also says he thinks that is the position from which Jones may be the most vulnerable.
• Pre-fight he's very emphatic that Jackson needs to be "right in Jones' chest" and fight up-close and inside.
• Rashad's tip for fighting Jones: "Put your head right on his chest, make him uncomfortable."
• Praises Jackson's ability to escape mount.

It will be very interesting to see if Evans can execute on any of these points when he gets his shot at Jones.
