"I think that if they start exchanging, which they will, because AJ brings a lot of pressure, he'll knock him out," Evans, himself a former UFC light heavyweight champion, said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.
Evans doesn't think it will take too long, either.
"I'll say within the first two rounds for sure," Evans said. "To say like that makes it sound like I don't have any respect for Jon Jones and what he's done as far as being a champion. But let's be honest here, what it comes down to is punching power, this kid can really hit."
I think if they do get to exchanging in the pocket, that Jones is going to get put away. I don't care how good his chin is perceived to be...nobody has been able to take a shot from Anthony Johnson. The question is, will Rumble be able to get inside of Jones' reach and will Jones make this a 5 round grind against the cage?
