Rashad Evans Last fight

[BigSwol]

Anyone got a link to where I can watch his fight? I missed it and forgot to record the fights. I saw all the other so/so fights, but missed a goodin I guess.

Just a thought here everyone agrees that the Heath Hearing fight sucked, but does he really deserve a loss for that one, how bout a draw? I mean what did the other dude do to try and finnish the fight? He layed on Heath for 3 rounds. Heath could get some ground game, Im not arguing that aspect, and def some takedown dfense. But its like a boxing match if a guy throws more punches but doesn't land them effectively would he be given a win over a guy who throws fewer but lands more effectively? Plus wouldn't a boxer get credit for good defense, Heath escaped mount repeatedly, he should get some points for that, and he hurt his opponent at least twice with strikes. I dont know just my 2c, I know its mma, not boxing, or wrestling, but when a fight is that bad it should be a draw or a no contest.

You didnt miss much pertty much all the fights where boring has hell, Rashad gave a Chuck Liddell type of kick to finish of the fat Salmon LOL

[D-Bo Dre]

one of the best high kicks i've seen. Def. going to be on a highlight reel.. Be on a lookout for Rashad in the future!

[ThePump]

no doubt... rashad is going to be a force to be reckoned with for sure. it was a bad ass kick to a guy from where i live. lol... damnit, why couldn't he rep columbus, OH better then to recieve the most bad ass kick to the head i've seen. ha ha

but yeah the encore is on spike tonight. not sure what time it's on though

[BigSwol]

Yeah !! Got to see it tonight, hella uva kick to head , and a pretty good fight. Rashad seems to be evolving as he's moving along. His striking seems to be getting better each time. Interesting guy!

guess im the only one that noticed he got outwrestled and beat in standup in the first round, and if it wasnt for landing that kick, likely would have lost at the rate the fight was going

I beg to differ.. Sure fat boy gave it all he had the first round, it was his UFC debut! His conditioning was horrible though.. Didnt u notice how heavy he was breathing at the beginning of round 2?? Rashad is a real fighter, and like other true fighters, they know how to pace themselves throughout the later rounds and will seize an opportunity for a K.O. His timing was near perfect!

The evans/salmon fight was not anything special.....so he kicked a guy in the head that fought half the fight with his hands at his waist and the other half punching rashad in the face. Evans has a long way to go....trust me. Diego Sanchez would beat the crap out of him in no time.

I do agree on that though....he is a very good athelete and well conditioned to boot.

never been fan of rashad ever since tuf, he is conditioned and good fighter but ufc seems to be sheltering him too by giving him fights as they have. id like to see him get some real competition, tito/forrest/babalu etc.., i dont see it happening for a while though, they want to keep building him up

I agree. Any of those would be interesting matchups imo, especially would like to see a Tito fight. I think rashad would have a great chance.. They are both wrestlers, Rashad was an all American at Michigan remember... This would be a great matchup and since Tito can't beat chuck or rampage he has nothing better to do.... So why not Dana??

[D-Bo Dre]

Mmm.. I would like to see a Forrest and Rashad fight.. I'm calling up Dana right now!!

[feloniness]

the only fighting style that has been used to beat forrest was stand up which is forrests sweet spot...i think forrest would pick evans apart with strikes

i personnally think he won the fight between tito...but evans ground and pound is no where near as good as titos.

That is true that rashads straight wrestling is better but so was Vladimimir Matyushenko and tito badly out wreslted Vladimimir. Some people contributated that to Vlady cutting to much weight though. Also Vlady has a better wrestling pedigree then Rashad. However I dont know if tito could out wrestle Rashad becouse tito has just not looked as explosive as of late.
