With a battle coming up Feb. 2 at UFC 156 in Las Vegas, former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans, 33, has been doing some extra special training with his teammates at the Florida-based Blackzilians team.
All because of the respect Evans has for the seasoned Rogério “Minotouro” Nogueira (20-5), who he considers to be one of the most complete and experienced fighters in the UFC today.
Following a no-gi Jiu-Jitsu session, Evans had a chat with GRACIEMAG.com. Check out what he had to say:
