t's playing out to be one of the biggest grudge matches in UFC history. Jon Jones is slated to defend his UFC light heavyweight championship against former teammate Rashad Evans at UFC 145 on Saturday night in Atlanta. But prior to the fight, Jones, Evans, and the rest of the UFC 145 roster stepped on the scale at the weigh-ins on Friday afternoon.
Both having fought in their fair share of title fights, Jones and Evans both came in on point. Jones stepped on the scale at 205 pounds, while Evans tipped the scale at 204 pounds.
"It's been a bit different because of the media and everything, but at the same time, I enjoyed the process," Evans told UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan after an intense face-off with Jones. "It is a lot of emotion involved, but at the same time, I'm looking forward to stepping in the cage to fight Jones."
"It's a gigantic fight. I'm excited to be here, baby," stated Jones, before proclaiming, "I'm ready to tear some heart out."
With the spotlight white-hot on the main event, there are some solid feature fights sneaking in under the radar.
