I'm thinking that Evans may have gone through that period he mentioned where suddenly no one can squeeze value from him anymore, before his comeback to Eagle FC.
I think part of it is, we only see these guys when they are training, cutting weight, and getting ready to do battle in a cage fight. I used to hate how cocky he was, especially since rampage was my favorite fighter. But it's easy to see he likes to be cocky in front of the cameras, but was always a good person.
@Mystic Editor what are you talking about? That claim you made is so wildly inaccurate. You have to be trolling, no? If not then please give some evidence to substantiate it.
@Mystic Editor You seem like you're trying to argue against a point that was never made. Nobody is saying that they are now perfectly "enlightened" individuals as a result of one acid trip. What has happened though, is these frequent psychedelic trips have altered these people's perspectives and methods of thinking about the world, themselves, relationship, etc., which absolutely changes who they are as a person. If you honestly don't believe that to be the case, then you are seriously misguided in your judgement of human beings.
I watched Rashad growing up on TUF you could tell he was always a good guy at heart. There are many ways this could have been spun off into controversy or a headline, he just gave his honest thoughts as a man. Wishing both Rashad and Jones the best.
@@gideonamare160 For real, that guy was a giant and Rashad had minimum training. I remember he couldn't even take a punch back them. Pure lay and pray fighter 😂 I love all my tuf guys those were some special times.
I was shopping at a Target in Fresno, CA a few years ago. I turn and look, there is Rashad Evans. I turned and said what the F#%% is Rashad Evans in Fresno?! He was there to support a local MMA fighter, shook my hand and then introduced me to , "meet the next big thing in MMA, Jon Jones". They were both very cordial and graciously spent a few minutes talking with me. Great memory.
Word ! The title “former ufc world champion” is something all fighters dream of having but most come short. Aint easy chasing it. Ppl gotta respect that.
I don't like saying it, but I think the reason he sounds concerned is because of brain damage. The wittyness that Rashsd used to have is gone and has been gone for quite some time. People forget that he used to be one of the funniest guys in MMA.
@@aerodynamicsalamander Robin Williams (RIP) did hard drugs, cocaine I think, and he said it changed his brain, his thinking, for the worse. He regretted doing it.
I remember watching The Ultimate Fighter with Rashad and Rampage. Going into the season, I was a Rampage fan. After seeing Rashad’s demeanor and how he interacted with people around him, I became a Rashad fan.
One of my medical customers was a childhood friend of Jon Jones. Small world. This clip speaks a lot to Rashad’s character. Well articulated and good to see. Rashad is a champ. Wishing him well.
Class from Sugar. He is extremely generous in his opinion on a guy who obviously has a lot of work to do. I started to type some really negative stuff about Jon but I remembered that I was once a lost soul who suffered incarceration and humiliation. I do genuinely hope this guy can find some peace and balance in his life.
@@_andre007 Even if they did, they did a low enough amount to not get caught, while JBJ did enough to get caught. That would help him additionally. No coincidence he popped after or around his best fights.
What an awesome dude Rashad Evans is. He is also a legendary fighter. He was awesome in his prime. Jones greatly benefited as a fighter from having Rashad as a mentor. Too bad Jon didn’t emulate Rashad’s behavior but nobody is perfect. I’m very impressed by how classy and supportive Rashad is.
The way Jon was landing those elbows in their fight was just lovely to watch. The precision of Jon's strikes are just something else. Surprised he didn't finish Evans🙄
@@WireMakesShorts yeah almost every Jon fought, the fighters were in their absolute prime to prepare for Jon and then after that they kind of went downhill...the only fighter that didnt go downhill afterward was DC imo

Hopefully I wrote that wasn't too difficult for you to read...
John spoke to Rogan about this before he would party a week before every big fight so that way if he lost he can reason that the loss was from partying. I personally believe this sounds real.
I highly doubt he was partying a week before the fight so in case he lost he had an excuse...he was partying to party and have a good time. Highly flipping doubt it was for an excuse in case he lost.
@@coolfresh6218 i don't think an excuse to make to the public, bur mentally for himself. Jon Jones shows a lot of tendencies of a sociopath, so I can 100% believe this is what Jon had running through his mind.
“JON” partied because he could. Hard not to with money, fame, and everything that comes with being a UFC champ. I think alot of us would make that move
If he was rotten, it would be alot worse. He's an active father. He helped with stopping the riots during covid. Stopped a mugger the night of his first title fight. He just needs to stop fighting.
Rotten? rotten (adj.) c. 1300, roten, of animal substances, "in a state of decomposition or putrefaction," from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse rotinn "decayed," past participle of verb related to rotna "to decay,"

Rashad is one of the most humble MMA fighters and human beings out there. I've followed him from the beginning and always felt like he was just a good solid dude. You can tell them apart from the fakes.
Dude likes to hear himself talk and dominate the conversation. The best interviewer so far is Brian Rose. The dude knows how to listen and ask follow up questions when necessary.

Jon Jones is the greatest cage fighter of all time, I don’t understand why people are in any way suprised he’s got a wild side, I mean it comes with the territory
I love Rashad. I'm becoming a peer counselor and I think he should do the same type of thing. Not for money obviously. But it would be good for him to talk to young fighters and congratulations to him on the win at Eagle FC.
The part about Jon being a risk taker and he lives life that way, kind've reminds me of the way Michael Jordan is with the gambling. Like Jordan probably has a little of the same energy JBJ does, but he was able to focus it into an arguably healthier direction with the gambling
Rashad is a real one, true class.... grew up watching Rashad on The Ultimate Fighter and then becoming LHW Champion to losing the belt to Machida and then to becoming the 1st fighter to go a full 5 rounds with Bones Jones, truly an amazing martial artist and coach........
I think cormier said it the best : jon needs to Lose to change as a human. I think if Jon loses he will Start to question Himself. Because when u do soooo much shit and still are able to win championships with ease and still not get beat. Then why change?
My friend Tommy(RIP) trained at Jacksons when Jon first came in to their camp. He sparred alot with Condit, GSP, Cerrone, the smaller pro fighters at Jacksons. He said Jon was incredibly naturally skilled. He was smart and his fighting instincts were crazy. He also said Jon was really smart and really confident, but the one vice Jon has that he noticed was that Jon was very impulsive. He said Jon was really impulsive and would do things with zero thought and alot of it depended on who was around him. But he also clarified that Jon's impulsiveness and wild side is what made him such a good fighter.
You say Jones has had so much hate like Jon's actions didn't have anything to do with it....you can only claim to be a good Christian man while your actions are consistently opposite of that before people start calling BS...I'd say Jones has earned every bit of hate thrown his way....
Respect to Rashad for being genuine and great. Anyone, still a hater of Jon Jones after this is just that. A internet hater. Whenever he comes back and flips the world he will still have haters. It doesn't matter what happens to Jon he will always have that. Funny thing is me and everyone else would never have that many haters because we're nothing. To be great is something most comments don't understand. Respect to Rashad and Jon and best wishes, future, success, and prosperity to them and every hater they both have online and in the real world 💯. 🙏
I've always loved Rashad. I just noticed this dude speaking reminds me of montana of 300 on rap god. I think it's the soft spoken knowledge. Ufc is missing out without this dude he is still dangerous to their contenders
Fucking steroids!! They was all doping back then till usada came even your hero randy couture You think the only reason jones has cleaned out three generations of the light heavyweight division is cause of steroids?? Like ? Like if he was clean he would have lost?? Of the fact he got lit 4 weeks before every fight which was Def not helping at all But the exact opposite Reyes 😆 🤣 You gota beat the champ ! Take the belt can't leave it to the refs!! In any combat sport
Where Patrick is dead wrong, is Jon was really the most gifted MMA fighter ever at that time. A teammate (Brian Stann) said that he was mauling everyone from day one. He became the champ at 23, once in a generation type of talent.
I don’t mean to sound disconnected here. I want to say is what is this pressure that we keep putting on John Jones to be this lead example to society? He’s a great fighter and that’s why we cherish him but is there a requirement to also be a great human being? What is this narrative really about, is this our problem or his 🤔
Jon is one those guys you can hate what he does outside of fighting but when he does actually have a fight coming up you’ll get excited each time. When Jon comes back I think he’s fighting 2-3 times before he calls it good. I’d hate for him to stop fighting because of outside trouble again.
Bro you got me laughing my ass off...like Rashad's calm demeanor speaking about Jones now vs how he spoke to and of Jones leading up to their fight...now he's a humbled little bitch, careful not to say anything bad about Jones ..
I agree Jon jones is the Greatest to ever do this please stop the hate, people opinions are horrible they tend to think they are Gods. Every person on this panel besides Rashad can’t even try to relate to who Jon Jones is. Bunch of pure Haters!!!!!
Regardless of the circumstances, my introduction to MMA was Rashad Evans and Chuck Liddell, I was a Rashad and GSP fan before I knew who Jon was. Great fighter, great guy.
Haha, Patrick is naturally inclined toward intellectual conversations. His style of communication always sounded the same even across different genres of discussions-building up a structured statement and then instantly breaking it down into segments that he can zoom in on and use to generate his follow up questions, opinions, facts, comparisons or whatever else. While his style suits his own field perfectly, in this particular interview, he sounded like a real businessman or rather an investigator on Rashad's story 😂. Joe Rogan's style is perfect in my opinion for this interview. That's just my observation as a subscriber on this Valuetainment podcast 🎉
Rashad is such a genuine person.
He’s spitting pure bars! I appreciate is objectivity
So was Johhny Hendricks dosent change the fact that they are all steroid cheaters

You can tell Rashad Evans genuinely cares about Jon. He seems to have had an extreme self reflection. He seems very careful not to judge Jon.

Jon Jones is the greatest cage fighter of all time, I don’t understand why people are in any way suprised he’s got a wild side, I mean it comes with the territory
All I'm surprised about is him being the greatest of all time, that's news to me haha
@@mmatrix3998 if he gets the heavyweight title it's solidified.
@@mmatrix3998 did you not watch the heavyweight title fight last week? He’d beat them both in the same night
@@JackG98 Bro get off Jon's nuts. Even Jon wouldn't want to fight them on the same night you sound like a groupie.
@@mmatrix3998 not even a Jones fan but hard to not come to that conclusion after watching the Gane Ngannou fight
Rashad must have finally met Lucy ❤
This interviewer gives a random 2 minute backstory into his own life for every question he asks.
Rashad Evans is not just one of my favourite fighters but one of my favourite people in MMA, he always comes across as a humble and great person.
I love Rashad. I'm becoming a peer counselor and I think he should do the same type of thing. Not for money obviously. But it would be good for him to talk to young fighters and congratulations to him on the win at Eagle FC.
Bro this guy doesn’t let Rashad talk at all. Give Rashad his respect he also is, a UFC Champion.
The part about Jon being a risk taker and he lives life that way, kind've reminds me of the way Michael Jordan is with the gambling. Like Jordan probably has a little of the same energy JBJ does, but he was able to focus it into an arguably healthier direction with the gambling
Rashad is a real one, true class.... grew up watching Rashad on The Ultimate Fighter and then becoming LHW Champion to losing the belt to Machida and then to becoming the 1st fighter to go a full 5 rounds with Bones Jones, truly an amazing martial artist and coach........
I think cormier said it the best : jon needs to Lose to change as a human. I think if Jon loses he will Start to question Himself. Because when u do soooo much shit and still are able to win championships with ease and still not get beat. Then why change?
Rashad evans, man what a well spoken guy. Nothing but respect for him.
Rashad needs to take Jon with him and due the TOAD 🐸
He will change then 😂😂😂😂
My friend Tommy(RIP) trained at Jacksons when Jon first came in to their camp. He sparred alot with Condit, GSP, Cerrone, the smaller pro fighters at Jacksons.
He said Jon was incredibly naturally skilled. He was smart and his fighting instincts were crazy. He also said Jon was really smart and really confident, but the one vice Jon has that he noticed was that Jon was very impulsive. He said Jon was really impulsive and would do things with zero thought and alot of it depended on who was around him.
But he also clarified that Jon's impulsiveness and wild side is what made him such a good fighter.
Beautiful words from Rashard. Jones has had so much hate, it's good to see someone being supportive❤
You say Jones has had so much hate like Jon's actions didn't have anything to do with it....you can only claim to be a good Christian man while your actions are consistently opposite of that before people start calling BS...I'd say Jones has earned every bit of hate thrown his way....
I respect Rashad for how he defends Jon Jones yet he speaks the reality or truth he knows about Jon Jones.
The host loves to talk
Respect to Rashad for being genuine and great. Anyone, still a hater of Jon Jones after this is just that. A internet hater. Whenever he comes back and flips the world he will still have haters. It doesn't matter what happens to Jon he will always have that. Funny thing is me and everyone else would never have that many haters because we're nothing. To be great is something most comments don't understand. Respect to Rashad and Jon and best wishes, future, success, and prosperity to them and every hater they both have online and in the real world 💯. 🙏
hung with Rashad in LV - super chill humble dude - we got to be good friends
I'd bet Jones is an absolute animal on the powder. UFC champion and an elite skier. He knows how to hit the slopes.
Dude asks the most long winded questions ever. Had to forward it whenever he spoke
Didn't it drive you nuts the way he was saying cormier's name
Me too!😂😂😂😂
I've always loved Rashad. I just noticed this dude speaking reminds me of montana of 300 on rap god. I think it's the soft spoken knowledge. Ufc is missing out without this dude he is still dangerous to their contenders
The greatest off all time Jon Jones has never lost!!!
Steroids 🤔
Reyes
Fucking steroids!!
They was all doping back then till usada came even your hero randy couture
You think the only reason jones has cleaned out three generations of the light heavyweight division is cause of steroids?? Like ? Like if he was clean he would have lost??
Of the fact he got lit 4 weeks before every fight which was Def not helping at all
But the exact opposite
Reyes 😆 🤣
You gota beat the champ !
Take the belt can't leave it to the refs!!
In any combat sport
@@Hunter_s_morrison pictograms all the way yo
@@Hunter_s_morrison Reyes beat the champ.
I LOVE the way Rashad answers questions!!! You can tell why they wanted him as an analyst!
Jones never quit. Never even rocked in cage . I don't think he can be defeated. It's like a curse . Or a blessing from his point of view
Gus won 3 rounds
Santos won 3 rounds
Reyes won 3 rounds
Jones has had 3 lucky split decisions
@@chewbaccasaw5232 the Reyes fight was the only one that was truly a robbery. The other 2 were pick ems
Rashads head kick on Sean salmon is what hooked me into the ufc
Where Patrick is dead wrong, is Jon was really the most gifted MMA fighter ever at that time. A teammate (Brian Stann) said that he was mauling everyone from day one. He became the champ at 23, once in a generation type of talent.
🤡🤡🤡
I love rashad! He spoke true wisdom. I hope Jon can lean on rashad as a mentor and a brother
I don’t mean to sound disconnected here. I want to say is what is this pressure that we keep putting on John Jones to be this lead example to society? He’s a great fighter and that’s why we cherish him but is there a requirement to also be a great human being? What is this narrative really about, is this our problem or his 🤔
Jon is one those guys you can hate what he does outside of fighting but when he does actually have a fight coming up you’ll get excited each time. When Jon comes back I think he’s fighting 2-3 times before he calls it good. I’d hate for him to stop fighting because of outside trouble again.
The guy who beat the shit out of Rashad. That's who Jon Jones really is.
A steriod cheat that beats his fiancé. That's who Jon Jones really is.
Bro you got me laughing my ass off...like Rashad's calm demeanor speaking about Jones now vs how he spoke to and of Jones leading up to their fight...now he's a humbled little bitch, careful not to say anything bad about Jones ..
Just came across this video and the interviewers need to chill out, looks like they're indicting Rashad 🤔
0:29 Patrick almost said, "You were that Nigga"😅
Rashad Evan's is a really genuinely nice person, and great mentor in the game.
I hope he goes into coaching because he got a wealth of knowledge & wisdom to inpart.
@@adeosinowo3197 your are absolutely right.
Loved watching Rashads run!!!
All you JJ haters need to watch this.
Not one of you has a clue what it would be like to be that great at so young and for so long.
I agree Jon jones is the Greatest to ever do this please stop the hate, people opinions are horrible they tend to think they are Gods. Every person on this panel besides Rashad can’t even try to relate to who Jon Jones is. Bunch of pure Haters!!!!!
Talented? Yes.
Steroid cheat? Yes.
That kicks him out of the GOAT game.
@@sanatsrivastava2814 Wrong.
Always loved Rashad. Good guy.
These are the types of interviewers we need more of. He asks good questions to good guests
Dude, it took him over a minute to get his first question out. Are you doing an interview or giving a damn speech?
Regardless of the circumstances, my introduction to MMA was Rashad Evans and Chuck Liddell, I was a Rashad and GSP fan before I knew who Jon was. Great fighter, great guy.
DMT has made this man turn into a master splinter!!💪
Haha, Patrick is naturally inclined toward intellectual conversations. His style of communication always sounded the same even across different genres of discussions-building up a structured statement and then instantly breaking it down into segments that he can zoom in on and use to generate his follow up questions, opinions, facts, comparisons or whatever else. While his style suits his own field perfectly, in this particular interview, he sounded like a real businessman or rather an investigator on Rashad's story 😂. Joe Rogan's style is perfect in my opinion for this interview. That's just my observation as a subscriber on this Valuetainment podcast 🎉
Let's not forget Jones pissed hot multiple times. He's definitely not Jordan level
Just a hater with an opinion Jon jones is #1 p4p of all time
