EDIT - Not sure why he's showing up with a white box. I've embbed the code and everything.

Evans was, essentially, saying Rampage was using the wrong strategy. Rampage needed to be in or out.

I don't know if Evans was saying that because that's his personal talent or if that's really the right strategy. What Rampage did was certainly wrong... so I guess we'll see if Evans' strength is what's needed to counter Jones.

Damn that was pretty accurate of him. "This is where Jones is gonna start getting tricky" ... Jones starts getting tricky. "Look for Jones to take Rampage down and finish him in this 4th round" ... Jones takes Rampage down and finishes him.

Seems like at the very least he knows Jones' game and analyzes it well. Whether analysis is enough to beat it though....

War Rashad!! :thumbsup:

Good breakdown, but here's the caveat:

Great analysis, he knows Jon well. He actually has to capitalize on Jones' mistakes and implement his game plan to solidify the victory.

Let's hope :)

Rashad will be a great commentator or even media guy for FOX when he decides to retire, its always entertaining listening him dissect a fight, and giving his opinion on it.

Can't wait for this fight, still picking JBJ, but I think Rashad will give him his toughest test.

...I'm not into posting links but check out Chuck Liddell's take on the Jones/Evans fight on MMAweekly.com. Interesting but I don't agree with his analysis. Rashad was with Greg Jackson for how long? Who's gonna be in JJ's corner come fight time? I'm sure Greg knows all of Rashad's weaknesses and will put together plan A & plan B gameplans for Bones. Jones is a 6 to 1 favorite for a multitude of reasons. I honestly think the biggest problem for Rashad is getting past that incredible reach that possesses serious strikes...

So we know he's going to pressure him and push him backwards and try to put him on his back....I'm sorry but no shit Shad!

I've got Rashad pushing forward too quick jamming his punches and getting throw on his head from the clinch.

But I'm interested to see how well Rashad can work his gameplan.
