Apr 22, 2012 - Just like that, a year worth of hype is behind us.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones defeated former friend and training partner Rashad Evans via unanimous decision at UFC 145 on Saturday night at the sold-out Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA, putting to bed a rivalry that had become one of the UFC's most prevalent storylines since the pair's notorious split.

While it may not have been as spectacular of a performance as we're used to seeing from the champ, it was an unquestionably dominant one that left many of Jones' contemporaries flooding to Twitter to sing his praises and wonder aloud if he would ever stumble. (Also, Dan Hardy apparently wasn't impressed. So there's that.)

Finally water under the bridge! Way too long and drawn out. Hope they can move forward after this @JonnyBones @SugaRashadEvans

Joe Lauzon

Those elbows are a game changer! #UFC145

Kenny Florian
@kennyflorian
Rashad has been fighting like a counter fighter. Not what u want to do against the tall, technical striker. Jones variety = on point.

@kennyflorian
Jones fought very well but Rashad had his opportunities to capitalize. Always easier watching from outside the cage tho. Two great fighters!

Brad Tavares
@BradTavares
I guess the only thing left to see is Jon bones vs Anderson silva

Gotta be honest, I'm getting sick & tired with Dan Hardy shamelessly slinging mud at any top name he possibly can just to keep himself relevant.

King Mo is a tool. Maybe the Drostanolone he takes helped him to find this "hole".
