Anthony Johnson’s stock’s never been higher, due to his jaw dropping, win over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC on FOX 14, but his teammate Rashad Evans believes “Rumble” is going to be champion.

As a result of Johnson’s quick, stoppage victory on Saturday night, the light-heavyweight will face reigning champion, Jon Jones next. Evans recently made a prediction about the upcoming title fight, and not surprisingly, the former champ is going with his friend.

I'm extremely proud of my brother @anthony_rumble for his complete annihilation of Alexander Gustafson! Rumble's journey to be where he is right now is story of inspiration. I'm blessed to have the privilege to watch my bro develop as a fighter and most importantly a person. Now let me be the first to tell you that Rumble is gonna knock Jones out with an uppercut!! #rumbleyoungmanrumble#blackzilians#gorillasquad#jaco
