Chuck is at the same point that Hughes is. A couple of years ago, I'd pick Liddell, but in this last couple years a lot of fighters have upped their game tremendously. Chuck has been exposed a couple of times and doesn't have that confidence that he used to. And even though Evans has had a tendency to be a bit lazy, I still think his speed and power will be too much for chuck. I don't think Evans will knock him out. But I do think he'll outpoint him in a decision if he manages not to get caught. split decision to Evans.
Did you not see Chucks last fight??? Against Wanderlei who is an animal. Chuck still has that power, Wanderlei has an amazing chin and thats why he amazingly didn't go down. Now do you think Rashad can take the same amount of punishment that Wand did? No way
Chuck will show people he is still capable of Knockin some1 out.

I'd like to add here Rashad's biggest problem is his self confidence. Thats never been a secret. Even he knows it. You can hear and see it in all the interviews they do. Even on the show when talking to intimidating figures of the sport (Matt Hughes) he was quiet and reserved. The reason the Tito fight went to a draw is because Rashad was too hesitant to loosen up until the third round (which he won in dominant fashion). If Rashad and Tito fought again, Rashad would win all three rounds. If Rashad doesn't have his confidence up against Chuck, he'll probably lose. If he does, he'll definitely win.
stop dodging me and take the avatar bet. I dont think you have confidence in your boy.

rashad had trouble taking down a small bisping. if he cant take bisping down, he cant take liddell down. if he cant take liddell down, he's gonna get knocked out.
chuck wins this one pretty easily i think.

You're not smart. Rashad did take Bisping down. And he didn't have all that much trouble doing it. So there goes your little theory.

he was implying that if Rashad could barely take down a small Bisping with an only halfway decent sprawl that theres no way hes taking down chuck. He wasnt blatantly saying Rashad did not take Bisping down.

Couldn't agree more! If Rashad couldn't finish Tito how on earth could he finish Chuck! Not sure if I'm going with 1st or 2nd round KO for Chuckie!

watch the fight, rookie. rashad did struggle to take him down, and when he did take bispign down, bisping was able to stand back up. chuck is the best at getting back up when people get him down. randy couture had problems holding chuck down...and rashad will?
epic fail

I think this is going to be a really good fight, contrary to popular belief. Even though Chuck is rather up in age in contrast to most fighters, he still packs some thunder in his hands. On the other hand, Rashad has youth on his side and explosive enough power to put Chuck on his back. Also, Rashad's hands are damn good even though he is kind of trigger shy for some reason. I say if Chuck wins in emphatic fashion(ala 1st round KO), give the man a title shot just because he is near the end of his career and he is usually the fan favorite. My prediction is Evans, though, by 2nd round TKO.

Rashad's hands are damn good
at what point in his career has he shown damn good hands? If Tito Ortiz can keep up with you standing then you can claim to be a great striker.
