UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It was the 9th UFC event of the year and took place on April 21, 2012, at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
The headline fight at UFC 145 was a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship contest between champion Jon Jones and challenger Rashad Evans. Jones and Evans are former teammates at Jackson's MMA, under the tutelage of coach Greg Jackson. Evans was one of Jackson's most successful fighters and was a core member of his training camp. Being in the same weight class, and a long-time member of Jackson's MMA, the UFC veteran Evans naturally took the young and inexperienced fighter Jones under his wing. In the months leading to UFC 145, the two engaged in a bitter and public feud.
At UFC 128 (March 19, 2011), Evans was expected to fight for the Light Heavyweight title against then-champion Mauricio Rua. However, a knee injury forced Evans off of the card. Needing an opponent for Rua at UFC 128, the UFC offered Jones the match. Jones accepted, with Evans' blessing. Shortly afterward, Jones stated in an interview with MMA reporter Ariel Helwani he would be willing to fight Evans if the UFC asked. Evans felt betrayed by his teammate and friend, starting a feud that forced Evans to leave Jackson's MMA. Evans then joined the Imperial Athletics camp in Florida.
Since UFC 128, Jones had defended his championship twice against former champions (Quinton Jackson and Lyoto Machida). Evans had defeated former champion Tito Ortiz, as well as Phil Davis, to set the stage for "the most anticipated Light Heavyweight bout since Chuck Liddell fought Tito Ortiz". This was the third scheduled contest between the two. The first match was scrapped due to a hand injury to Jones, and the second because of a thumb injury to Evans.
Jones won via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, and 50-45). - Zábava
I swear Jon was just proving a point in this fight. He just beat the shit out of him
Yeah, that was brutal. Jon did that many times. He could have finished fights with take downs and wrestling so many times, but he's so good that he wanted to win fights on his terms. Rashad was an amazing fighter at the time and Jon has dominated everyone. Rasahd talked crap before the fight and said years ago I got the better of you in training. Jon went in there and proved a point, he dominated him bad and beat the hell out of him. I really don't think Rashad was ever the same after this fight.
@@billj4525 no ones ever the same after fighting Jones maybe except DC... notice how everyone feels at the top of their game but when they fight Jones all of a sudden they discover a new level of skill and are instantly shook... kinda like super sayan being the limit until they discover super sayan 2 lol
@@user-zz6tb7vy9wshogun😔
@@user-zz6tb7vy9w Hell yeah man, very good point. It affects their ego too. A lot of guys thought they could beat him and then just got completely dominated, like Rampage Jackson, which was an earlier fight. DC was a beast, and pretty much got dominated everyone else he fought, but when he discovered Jones, he discovered a whole new level and got dominated himself pretty much. DC was one of the only ones that could still perform at a high level though and dominate other fighters though like you said. Rashad took a beating, and was never the same. Physically or mentally. When Gus got dominated the 2nd fight he was never the same after that either.
Rashad did really well until that first elbow
the problem with rashad is that he ate all those elbows but when he landed his only shot of the fight (that doesn´t even rocked jon) he taunts his opponent
He's a punkass
I'm just amazed Rashad wasn't cut from those 100 elbows he ate.
Jon’s boxing technique looked really good in this fight. I’m not sure why he didn’t train his boxing more.
Jones has the best Striking defense in the UFC...His SApH is only 2.22 in 28 fights.
Because he didn’t need too, he’s good at everything
Getting into a boxing fight is the only way jon could ever lose in the octagon. He needs to use everything
Your legs are the strongest bones on your body, he is 6’4, keeping your opponent at distance still being able to strike them without your hands is key 🔑
he prefers his hooks to be razor sharp elbows with those long ass arms
Rashad landed 2 significant strikes to Jon’s 50
6:03 was so sick. He gets so much extension on that lead elbow
of course Jones has the one of the highest reach in the UFC
He said in an interview it was so painful he thought someone from outside the ring hit him with something.
5:25 was pretty sick too. Made Rashad look like he was getting bullied
@@wossengetachew3056 Im thinking he was referring to the elbow at 2:00 since in the other one, they were hardly hand fighting.
He has a reach of a dude that’s 6 foot 9 his reach is .5 inches longer than Tyson fury and he’s 6’9
Jon Jones kicked so many asses he ran out of asses to kick in the light heavyweight division. Now that he's in the heavyweight division it looks like he's going to run out of asses to kick and retire pretty soon because he is the biggest Savage in the UFC I ever seen
Sure hope he has stopped using steroids
More like run out of asses he CAN kick. He's going to duck Sergei and Tom at 33, because he knows why he made the grueling cut to fight guys 6 foot and 210 his whole career. Reyes of all people ran him out of 205 and look what happened to him when other guys 6'4+ and cutting from 220+ started showing up...
@@williamsmith1803 no
@@eddievenuto1862 Go back to e-sports because mma is not for you.
He should have been a HW all along, look how big he is here compared to Evans
2:26 can we take a moment to look how strong Bones chin is he took Rashad signature punch and ate it like it’s nothing.
This was Jon being completely heartless. He could have ended this but he wanted to torture him.
I don't think so
That's him in almost every fight except the last one. He goes in there not just to win, but also to dismantle his opponents.
@@rohitchaoji It was a close match against Gustafson, Reyes and DC2
@@cyrisz4300 I might be in the minority who thinks both fights with DC were pretty competitive. Gustafson 1 was really close too, but I think Jones had him figured out for the second one. I'd have been interested in seeing an immediate Reyes vs Jones rematch though.
@rohitchaoji it's weird how Reyes did so well against Jon then fell apart after that.
I'll never forget when Rashad slept Chuck Liddell, I thought Chuck was dead for real.
Still one of the most brutal one punch knockouts in MMA history, the way Chuck fell down was scary
5:26 the way Rashad is trying to escape from Jones is not even like he’s in a fight but he’s a child running from a monster. I felt bad.
Rashad put up a good fight though. However his punches didn’t do much damage
They did almost nothing at all it seemed....the kick was nice but Jones just took it, I'd say Jones didn't dominate him persay but he controlled almost all the exchanges, and had Evans wobbling around through a lot of them, throwing him towards the cage etc etc
Did y'all watch the timing of leg kick with a counter, broo machida literally used that to find success against Jon. Mfer just absorbs his opponents
This was a dog fight though, I can't even imagine how Rashad must've continued fighting till the last bell, after eating all those brutal body kicks from Jones!
His reach and the way he used it just made it impossible against average size LHWs. Guys like Shogun, Rashad, Vitor etc. never had a chance.
Yeah, striking wise they were at a big disadvantage because Jon is such a master at using his reach. The Rasahd fight he basically used that the whole fight, and a lot of the Vitor fight as well.
To be fair, Jon fought a lot of middleweights. Machida, Chael, Vitor,
Everyone was at a total disadvantage against Jones because he's always been230lbs with a 7ft reach fighting in the wrong division. Like here, he's not skinnier than Rashad he's just 6inches taller with at least a 10in reach advantage at least 20lbs bigger amd this is one of his biggest accomplishments it's actually called cheating I don't see how anyone could be impressed with this guy A real goats highlight reel looks the opposite of Jones should be beating people bigger than him not always someone way smaller but that's all jj ever did
That's why you can't compare Jones to even mediocre heavyweights, just the fact they take on other heavyweights and didn't cheat to cut weight puts them all head and shoulders above Jones
@@Ajox191Jones would enter the women's bantamweighr division then show up to the fight woth a knife if he could, same thing basically
great highlights
They really put a lot of emphasis on that head kick by Rashad that seemed to have no impact on Jones whatsoever 😂
Jon literally went from having him against the cage to running backwards all the way to the other side of the cage with Rashad chasing him and then started to circle the cage off the back foot. It's called champion level composure, but don't act like it didn't hurt him or else he would've countered while Rashad was reaching on those wild swings chasing after him.
That head kick followed up by a cracking right hand was pretty damm good by Evans
1:41 😂😂
This was the fight that passed the torch for me. Im still Rashad Evans all day and Jon Jones is my dude
I think he’s reach with elbows is more than my total reach lol
That punch at 5:00 min mark and Jon like damn bro come on lmao
i think he had hurt his right hand. didnt see him use it anymore in the clip
that’s the combo Rashad used to knocked chuck liddel out n if u watch from another angle u can see Rashad reaction as he realizes n jones was just responding
È un fuoriclasse Jons Jons, non pensavo che picchiasse con quella classe , vorrei vedere subito il match contro adesanya.. sarebbe un bel match
Surviving 5 rounds against jon is a achievement as well. Not bad by rashad tbh.. also I wouldn’t call this Jones dominating, winning sure but not dominating..
Jones smashed ur daddy….he did w.e he wanted to in there
Nah Jones absolutely dominated this fight from start to finish
Common now…. Jon at a point was toying with him
You fight Jon Jones and tell me how it goes since you seem to be a professional analyst for UFC.
lmao 💀
S*** I'll give Rashad credit for going the whole damn five rounds he went the distance with Bones Jones who was just a killer at this point in prime, Rashad was a lot older than him at this point in his career I think that first head kick definitely had some kind of effect didn't Rock him but he felt a little love tap of Rashad s power
Jon didn’t even need to use his wrestling, just dominated Rashad on the feet
He didn't want to finish it fast. He wanted to beat the hell out of Rashad.
Damn I remember watching this fight in the bar. I was pulling for a shot but Jon was the better man that night. By the fifth round, you could see the Jon realized he was him. Bullied Rashad after that.
Excellent fight! Rashad made it competitive. Jones reach, diversity of striking combinations kept rashad guessing all 5 rounds. Those elbows were $$ for him the whole fight
I don't think there will ever be another jones. dude was so tall, lean, fast, and he can wrestle. my god
He's still all those things. Hasn't retired yet and just won the heavyweight title in dominating fashion. A guy Ngannou had problems with Jon defeated before the 1st round ended. There may not be anyone who's ever as amazing as Jon or as dominant. Not for a long time anyway. He's been dominating several generations of fighters for over 10 years, and still really doesn't have a loss. I mean you could argue Reyes beat him, but clearly he wasn't taking that fight seriously. Reyes is not even a good fighter. Jon has got complacent in some fights. He's so dominant and good that he wasn't always training, and he also was fighting guys at their own game instead of finishing them as quick as possible with the right game plan. I'm sure for this last couple fights he will be fully prepared and ready to do whatever he needs to to win. He's getting older now so we'll see what happens. Hopefully he doesn't start falling off. I want to see him finish his career undefeated.
All u can do is respect rashad bones jus to raw unorthodox
Remove the fade in and out from every clip
5:23 Dayum! 😂
Rashad Evans was upset that jones wanted to fight him lol
Jon stayed at light middle weight though he seems heavy eight he had this plan he is huge
Wish I had Jon Jones body and Matt brown mindset
Matt Browns a dawg
A Whiteman mind set and a Blackman Body 🤔
@@cheesycow6714 yhh bruh that's who Jon Jones is...
@@cheesycow6714 I like his mentality, he's good. You can switch it up on some ting and impress no one.
This one made me tear up Rashad is my favorite 😢
Além de muita técnica, Jones também tem a maior envergadura do UFC. E isso faz muita diferença.
Obviously they should be in different weight classes. I think Evans wrestled at 45 to 71.
Yeah, Rashad eventually dropped down to middleweight and it shows here why he did, dude looked like a middle schooler next to a full grown adult here, the size discrepancy is staggering
Rashad beat a 6’7 dude at heavyweight early in his MMA career. Not to mention he won the light heavyweight belt beating Forrest Griffin. 🙄
Jones is just a killer in the octagon, he dominates everyone.
@@kungpowking1606 Those heavyweights were scrubs relative to Rashad Evans, there's a reason why all of them never amounted to anything special in MMA and went on to have journeymen careers at best. Forrest Griffin, who I actually really love and respect as a person and as a fighter, was arguably one of the worst UFC Light Heavyweight champions in modern MMA history. Nobody is saying that Jon Jones isn't an absolute killer in the cage, they're just pointing out how drastic the size difference between him and Rashad are. Also as great as Jones is, to say he "dominated" everyone is a bit disingenuous when he arguably lost to Dominick Reyes, Thiago Santos, and Gustaffson in their first meeting. He's still the GOAT yes, but there's no need to exaggerate his track record when it's already impressive enough as is
I have to disagree on Forrest Griffin being one of the worst light heavyweight champions in UFC history, just like you said “don’t exaggerate Jone’s track record”, I’m gonna say don’t underappreciate Forrest’s MMA career. Forrest fought in UFCs most vicious era, where almost every fighter was on some kind of PED, and USADA wasn’t partnered with the UFC during those years. I personally think becoming champion during that era is even more impressive, but that’s just my opinion. I do think the size difference between Rashad and Jones is big, but that’s to be expected with Jone’s bigger body frame. I wouldn’t say Rashad didn’t belong at light heavyweight though, as he’s beaten guys just as big as Jones, and absolutely dominated Chael Sonnen who is a natural middleweight.
What do you mean coz they are same weight class coz it's not the height that determines weight
Crazy fight, Rashad took a beating
Like a cat playing with a mouse
Qué animal Jones
Good fight.
*JON JONES* 🇺🇸 = 1m93
*RASHAD EVANS* 🇺🇸 = 1m80
Como jon bones nunca habra otro su estilo de combate siempre pata perjudicar o masacrar al oponente nunca da un paso sin tener una intencion que mentalidad de asesino es el mejor
Jones is a smart scary fighter, God, the elbows, very good bit down
Rashad is still incredible! Giving up size, reach and weight but not heart .
Best psychopath to ever compete
Bro jon was just so sharp in this one, easy decision
Failed the drug test .
who? both failed drug tests later in their careers
Drugs don’t add skill to ur bring 😂
WE NEED A REMATCH, FUCK IT 🤷🏽♂️
this was so satisfying, never liked rashad, so this popping up in my recommended vids is gold!
Why hate on Rashad?
@@boss2654 He knocked out two long time fan favorites in Liddell and Griffin. He was also kinda cocky and arrogant, as evident by his behavior on TUF both as a contestant and a coach, and was also constantly trash talking his opponents both before and during fights, such as when he infamously mocked Machida for having "pillow hands" seconds before he ended up getting knocked out by Lyoto himself. He hasnt been as brash in the past half a decade or so though as I think age has kinda tamed him, so that along with him retiring helped a lot of fans finally appreciate him for the great fighter that he was during his prime as well as his contributions to the sport.
@NW iceman and Forrest were also my two favorite fighters and of course it crushed me watching him beat them both up. You still gotta give him credit for surviving jones. Yes he was cocky throughout his career but he still a good couch. He disciplined them very well making them great fighters.
just because someone sleeps your fav fighter, it does not mean that you should hate them for it, they are just doing their job iawa
Rashad is a stud
Bad mo fo right there!
How do you defeat someone with such a move list
Real g mr jj
U can see that jon was going easy on him
Whatever
@@yourenotthatguy6295 whatever my a**
I always felt rashad should have stayed at heavyweight. He was scary at heavyweight
Idk Rahshad. You know he has the reach and he's reaching to grab your hands and he's sneaking in elbows and lefts. I was gonna tell you to tear his chicken legs apart but he's kicking YOU from afar and coming in with flying knees.
Jones should have always been a HW. Look how much taller he is than Evans.
If only Anderson Silva were at lightheavyweight he would beat Jon jones
What? He was good in his day, but he couldn't even beat Weidman. I mean Chael Sonnen almost beat him and he was in his prime. Did you see what Jon did to Chael? Anderson wouldn't last 2 rounds vs Jon. I think everyone knows that, or most people.
Are you high??
Jones looked huge in this. 🤔
Pause
What all happened with Rashadz did he die? Or wait no.. he became Bob Marley or some shit right 😂
A younger Rashad or Daniel Cormier would beat Jon Jones. Considering the 8 year age gap, both Rashad and Daniel displayed amazing resilience and fighting ability. Jones is good, but not that good, age mattters, clean fighting matters. Take away the age difference and take away the dirty moves, and I don't think Jones would win as many fights as he has... Both these fighters are awesome, but their size was the biggest disadvantage. Its ridiculous to put a 5'9" fighter in with a 6'4" fighter and then be impressed when the bigger fighter wins. Size matters, they should be in different categories, period.
He smashed everyone regardless of ages his strikes and chokes were rated E for everyone bro
No no they wouldn’t
He’s the goat 🐐 suck it.
I don't like Jones either but to deny his fight IQ and talent is just silly, he beats Rashad and Cormier any time, any decade.
@@theringworm123he went 5 rounds and didnt TKO or KO rashad, “he took it easy on him” is a poor argument, i think we can concur a prime rashad can definitely hang with the JJ we see in this video.
I think Rashad Won that fight well he won the war but Jon Won the match
Rashad wasn’t even in his prime when they fought. Seems like a lot of younger fighters capitalize on this kind of matchup. Of course Dana sets these guys up uses the OG fighters names to catapult these new younger fighters that he likes. Not really fair to the OG’s. Some of them know when to quit before this happens. Those are the fortunate ones.
The light heavyweight division was stacked with those types of fighters back then. Jon got his shot after he beat Bader and beat Shogun at 23 so all he had left was to beat on those dudes who had a decade on him
He beat everyone's ass what else could he do lol 🤣
@@cjjams7930 the original comment already gave light to why that occurred, your comment is narcissistic
@@SaRaSin712 narcissist for stating Jones beat everyone's ass that would fight him 😆😂 okay 👍 just stating facts ....had like two fights that gave him a real challenge ......Rashad wasn't one
@@cjjams7930 comprehension will get you further, i stated that the earlier comment and your reply to it is narcissistic, not because of the fact that jones has beat people i think we all know that, your ego for JJ isnt allowing your brain to comprehend the dynamics.
Quero vê contra o francês.
Os Únicos que poderiam vence-lo seria o Spider, Werdum nos pesados, Comier que não conseguiu e agora o Poatam, minha opinião!
Cain velasquez talvez venceria
Poatan barely beat & got taken down by Adesanya. No way in hell he defeats Jones
@@afranc5348 é bem provável né o homem é foda mesmo, pensando bem! Será e o Francis Ngannou seria uma boa luta em?
Aquí Evans intento sin éxito lo que, si pudo lograr Alexa Grasso ante Valentina, después de una giratoria tirada sin ganas y sin intensión de nada.
Two great warriors but only 1 was properly "equipped" to win this fight: Jones😮
Jon Bone Jones 🦴
Prime jones the goat
That’s child abuse cuz ain’t no way
john jones is a 32 years old haitian with a fake passport hahahahaha noway hes just 19
JJ king yeah

@@janetoss don’t be mad that you were wrong and don’t know fighting.
Rashad is the size of a 4th grader compared to Jones. Jones should have finished him.
Well he could have. He wanted to beat the hell out of him instead. Wait, you couldn't see that? It was clear as day. You're not another weirdo complaining about height are you? That's part of the game. They don't have classes based on height. It's weight not height. Some of you guys have every excuse in the world when a guy gets beat down.
@@billj4525the only people who have given Jones trouble has been his size. I will say I’m more impressed with his heavyweight fight against Gane. Wish Jones never would have gotten injured bc there are a couple heavyweights I believe that would beat him. But yes your frame is everything hence why people starve themselves trying to be bigger in each weight class, they also pack more pounds on before the fight. He’s prob outweighing the 205ers by much more than average.
Sábado.
So satisfying to see Rashad getting his ass kicked. After all the ass whooping, he still manages to taunt his opponent. Soo cringe
Rashad evens will Whoop anybody his size jon Jones is just the best and the biggest but rashad is a bad mf 4sure
luta marmelada d um falso compeao!🐭porq n fez igual fez com shogum i belfort? peso medio contra pesado...falso campeao🐭
John Jones é muito bom . Mas como esspecialista em artes marciais . Afirmo que ele tem um ponto muito fraco. A trocacao . E so ter confiança e ir pra cima . E ele se entrega
Being a good martial art doesn’t determine how fast but skillful you’re. U no martial art expert train someone to beat him then 😂
We don’t like Jones as a human or a fighter. Terrible person
Cheating. Fingers out arms extended. Enough with the fingers out eye pokes. That fight should have been a disqual. Go back and look. That's literally how he wins.
Man I was such a big fan of Rashad, I thought he was going to end Jones run. I remember I got excited when he wobbled Jon a little bit with a headkick but it wasn't enough.
Was he really Dominated
Yes, bones wanted to send a message by destroying him for 5 rounds rather than putting him out of his misery.
@@JTikireference me to a interview of him saying that, i think it would be disingenuous to make a statement like that without credible evidence.
Just put the link in the comments thank you.
@@SaRaSin712 It was pretty obvious man. Why would he say that? It would make look bad. Use your head. If you can't tell that Jon could have finished way before round 5 then you have no clue what your watching.
@@billj4525 It was obvious to see they went rounds, its obvious you wouldnt risk a injury just to tap dance, its obvious you only get paid the full amount and maybe bonuses if you win, why risk all that? Rashad evans was not a walk in the park.
No match
This is bullshit evens got him too just showed jones highlight
Джонс проиграл
The king of the losers….jon jones
Deixa bater
Honestly, I used to kinda hate on Rashad… I didn’t remember how this fight went… He’s actually way tougher than I thought!!! Can’t believe he ate all them elbows and still kept fighting, hard too!!!
I lost all respect for evans after he smashed an opponent that was clearly already flat out on the canvas. I'm glad Jones beat his ass.
Trt jones picograms jones
You haven't done your research. A lot of people haven't I see though.
Much respect to Rashad for being in there with a fn Cyborg and surviving all five rounds...and to his credit... ending the fight on top of Jon Jones.🫢😵
Agreed ! Hindsight though being with Jones on the ground for very long doesn't end well for ppl haha
Jon jumped on him???? That’s no feat of rashads jones was trying to go in for a standing guilliotine
boring for someone way bigger and way longer reach
Huge cheater
Maybe top 5.

3. Fedor
4. Silva
... Jj?
Didn't aged well😂
@@dineshrout4229 Why not? He's about to duck all the good HW's and retire 2-0 at HW as the ONLY champion in MMA or Boxing history to win a world title, much less win and defend it, without beating a single guy coming off a win. Gane had just gotten grappled by a non grappler and got put against a guy who's been an elite wrestler for over a decade in mma, while Stipe's the "Heavyweight legend" who's literally fighting at LHW walkaround weight now at 237 lbs and is completely shot with grey hair, glasses, and a dad bod. Khabib could've easily grappled 2 guys to become double champ when that guy Jake Paul ko'd was champion and Masvidal was a contender, GSP was a double champ, Silva could've easily gone double champ when Forrest got the belt and fought several guys who were already ranks LHW's, and Fedor wasn't a double champ because he spent his enture career outsized at HW and went on a 33-1 streak there beating everyone of relevance instead of cutting from 230+ to fight middleweights like SOME PEOPLE, so Jon going double champ without beating an actual reigning champion or #1 guy in the division doesn't really do anything. Try again.
