The war of words between champion and challenger is likely about to heat up as Jon Jones broke what some may say is the cardinal rule of a team, what happens in practice stays in practice, talking to ESPN's Josh Gross about what has gone on in sparring session between himself and Rashad Evans:
“We fought each other in practice,” said Jones, who pushed his record to 13-1 with last month's triumph. “A finish has been possible several times and it has always been me finishing him. I never did it out of respect that he was the elder of the school. It's against protocol in a way. Some people would do it but I believe in tradition.
“He has a lot to study. I have a lot to study, but I get to study[ing] more in-depth. He gets to study[ing] and gets a headache.”
