EVANS IS CLEARLY BEING TREATED LIKE THE LESSER OPPONENT
On the horn: 
LEAD SR WRITER
"I told Rashad, 'Those guys at camp are your friends; you like hanging out with them,'" White said. "But camp is not your family. All athletes have a very small window of opportunity to make money and achieve great things in front of millions so they're remembered when it's over. You're going to put that on a shelf because of your 'friends' and your training camp 'family'? When s-- goes wrong, do you think they're going to help you pay your bills? No."

This seemed perfectly fine considering Jones fought four times in 2011, three of which were title fights, and deserved some rest after a legendary-esque year inside the cage. UFC 145, on April 21, officially will put an end to the Jones siesta now that Rashad Evans will fight Jones for the title in Atlanta, GA.
