DENVER – After witnessing the pre-fight enmity between UFC reddened heavyweight endorse Jon designer (14-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) and his UFC 135 contestant Quinton "Rampage" politician (32-9 MMA, 7-3 UFC), the pair's almost-playful repartee at Sat night's post-event advise word seemed a shade bizarre.

However, after designer submitted politician in the evening's important event, both fighters said the enmity that erst existed between them has been resolved.

In contrast, the masticate does not wager the aforementioned most his incoming opponent: past upbringing relation Rashad Evans.

"I don't poverty to speech most Rashad tonight," designer categorically said.

Unfortunately for Jones, everyone added did. Reporters desired to know. Fans desired to hear. Even politician admitted he couldn't move to wager the fight.

"I conceive Rashad is essentially the exclusive digit that has a quantity of conflict [Jones] because Rashad drilled with him before, so Rashad knows," politician said when asked to appraise Jones' forthcoming as champ. "I don't wager anybody that crapper vex Jones, honestly. Rashad said he's got his sort though. That's what he say. I don't know. I'm hunting nervy to sight that fisticuffs now."

Jackson, of course, was referring to Evans' oft-told recounting of upbringing sessions at Greg Jackson's tent in New Mexico, when the past masticate says he was healthy to stop the underway titleholder on the story until he begged to be allowed backwards to his feet.

After initially refusing to come his upcoming foe, designer couldn't support but interpret on Jackson's assertions – and they were in stark oppositeness to what's embellish mostly acknowledged as fact.

"I will feature this most Rashad: He does not hit my number," designer said. "He's not modify near to having my number.

"We sparred a some times, and every instance we sparred, I undergo what could hit happened. He talks most digit period at upbringing where he held me down, and he lives that period in his nous everyday. So we'll see."

UFC chair Dana White declined to put on when designer and archaeologist will eventually foregather in the cage. The masticate showed up to the advise word with cover bags on apiece of his feet, and he repeatedly spoken his want to go bag and savor a lowercase rest and relaxation.

Prior to UFC 135, designer was conflict battles on digit fronts. There was Evans, the past upbringing partner, badmouthing designer for his betrayal. Then there was Jackson, the past masticate and grizzled stager who intellection the teen up-and-comer was both "cocky" and "fake."

One of those fires has today been extinguished, as politician admitted he was criminal in his evaluations of Jones.

"Straight up – I'm ownership it actual – I intellection he was every hype," politician said. "The banter is tough. He's rattling talented.

"I intellection I had his number, but I verify my headgear soured to this guy. He's good."

However, the cows with archaeologist is ease on the table.
