Manager Says Rashad Evans Will Change Weight Classes If Jon Jones Wins The LHW Title
 

As most expected…

- Co-manager Malki Kawa recently stated that Rashad Evans will not fight Jon Jones if he wins the Light Heavyweight Title. Instead, Kawa says that Evans would change weight classes…

"[Evans] said he doesn't want to fight Jon, and I respect that. If he still feels that way after two or three fights, or after Jon wins or loses the belt, there's a lot of different options. Rashad wants to fight for a championship. He doesn't want some regular fights or whoever it might be. A fight that interests me a lot, and I thought would be a really big payday for him, is a fight against Anderson (Silva).

The thing is, him and Jon have become really tight. And I was never really for them not fighting. But after seeing them, and after seeing what Rashad did when his knee was hurt when he encouraged Jon to go get the title shot, I respect Rashad a lot more. If Rashad says, 'I don't want to do something,' I understand it. The guy's a class act. I personally like him better at middleweight better than I do at heavyweight."
