Rashad is like the Matt Serra of the LHW division. He's just kind of a crappy fighter who shouldn't beat guys but does. But HEY that's the fighting chance that everyone has when they walk in the ring.
Everyone gets caught... even The Ice Man =(

it really wasn't necessary to make another thread, there are already like 3 of them discussing the same thing in this section of the forums. The reason people are "hating" on him is because of the way that he fought before the KO occurred. I'm not going to reiterate what I've said in the other threads, I'll just say that it's not all about the result of the fight, it's about how the entire fight goes down.
then don't read it whine bag.

you broke the rules, i'm telling. what a joke
I'm explaining to you that you're wasting people's time, forum space, and there's a reason people don't want 5 threads on the exact same topic in the same forum. Grow up, you're acting like an infant, I've seen 14 year olds who are more mature than you. The entire reason I quoted the rules to YOU is because I'm NOT telling on you. If I wanted to tell on you I'd have just pmed an admin, which I didn't do.
All my first post said was it isn't necessary to make another thread, and you started slinging insults. Grow up.

I am no fan of Rashad Evans, but that comment was wrong on so many levels. Fact is, if Rashad and Chuck fight again, Rashad will beat him again. Chuck is stubborn. He does not want to adapt. He does not put his hands up, he does not want to use his other skills. People say oh Rashad got lucky and caught Chuck. Chuck made a career out of back pedaling and catching people. Babalu anyone, who saw Chuck against Allistair Overeem in pride, how about Chuck's knockouts of Randy. Chuck is a legend, but he made a career of beating people the way Rashad beat him. We all gave Chuck his credit. Probably too much. Why would you not give Rashad the credit.

Rashad is a good fighter. But, IMO he is not ready to be a champ yet. This is my reasoning.
He won split decisions with Imes, Hoger, and Bisping. They are all good fighters, but not great fighters. So having split decisions with them is not that impressive.
He had a majority win over Bonnar. Bonnar is very tough, so no shame there.
Had a draw with Tito. Tito has not looked impressive in a long time.
KO'ed Lambert and Salmon. Shows he is evolving as a fighter. He looked good in these fights.
Finally, he KO'ed Liddell. Very impressive. This is his one big accomplishment.
I just dont think he can beat Rampage, Machida, Wanderlei, Rua, or Griffin.
Rampage - UD
Machida - UD
Wanderlei - TKO
Rua - TKO
Griffin - UD, Maybe sub.
If he beats 1 more of these guys, I can agree he is championship material.

running from chuck the first round did not impress me any. although the ko was nasty, i swear rashads eyes was closed when he threw that punch(i could be wrong) ad his shoulder suffle makes me want to vomit.
i would have thought that chuck would have learned a lesson after the dean of mean fight (im talking about looking past a fighter) but it look like rashad had to give him a reminder.

I know. What is with that? It's obvious he was trying to copy Jardine as much as possible. Even his awkward fast forward style shuffle.

He is definitely in my top 10, and if he defeats another high-caliber opponent in his next fight, I think he will definitely get his title shot. The only problem is, if he keeps winning, there is a roadblock by the name of Lyoto Machida I think will defeat anybody at 205.

I disagree. It's all about the result of the fight. By any means necessary.
Rashad patiently waited for his moment to strike. That makes him a wise fighter. If you want to see guys swing wildly and fight balls to the walls, go to a bar and watch bar brawls.
Rashad looked amazing during the entire fight. (And I picked Liddell to win.)

I think most people hate on Rashad because of his showboating more than his fighting ability. I mean a guy could be the greatest fighter in the world but if he showboats and lacks class, a lot of people won't like him.

Thats a rediculous statement when you said that Rashad is the Matt Serra of the LHW division. In case you hadn't noticed, Evans is undefeated and as he fights, his KO's get more and more devastating. He is a division 1 college wrestler and a good stand-up fighter(same as Liddell). On the contrary, he is the complete opposite of a scrappy fighter, and more on the technical side. One more good KO in his next fight, and he should be in title contention.

i think its great for rashad for KOing liddell, and i have a lot more respect for him as a fighter, but that doesnt mean that i like him. liking a fighter and thinking he's good are two different things
