anecdotes are always fun. lol. I remember hearing that Rashad used to dominate Jones in practice too and ronda dropping top boxers with body shots.
Rashad said he had a mold to beat Jones. He came in fuckin clueless. All talk.
Rashad, like Cormier, are not kings. Cormier talks up Cain more than Cain does. Cain is a king. Rashad thought he was a king and Jones would step aside like cormier did. But a real man does not let another control his destiny. How dare Rashad Evans stunt Jon Jones's career? Fuck that. You never take a back seat to another man. Cormier did the opposite. Accepted he was inferior. Rashad expected Jones to do the same but nope.
I cannot stand that servile attitude. Accepting a lower place in the gym. The arrogance of that too. That your career should be put on hold for another. A loser's mindset.

lackeys.
Context is for kings.
Cormier is the biggest lacky I ever saw. I could tell Rashad would lose to Jones just by the look on his face. At the weigh ins. Rashad was already beaten.

Cormier limited himself cuz of Cain. He was so happy and willing to accept that limit from the start. That Cain will always be above him. Who fuckin thinks like that? A lackey. To settle is to die.
Like Warren Buffett. They asked him if he ever dreamed he would have the 3rd largest company in the world. He said nobody dreams about being third. He does not accept his place. He is always striving to do better.

Can you imagine Buffett or Bill Gates with these thoughts in their head?
"There will always be somebody who can beat us and we can never take on. Whom limits us and we must accept that." lol no. They dont accept that some larger force will beat them from the start.
