The deciding factor was where the student pulled out some new tricks that the teacher hadn’t taught. Rashad Evans is well know in the UFC for being a polished wrestler and his power in the ring, and Jon Jones knew this, so the way he counter and avoided wrestling punishment was simply use his 10-inch reach advantage over Evans. In the end Jones was the victor in this emotional battle.
