I think Evans only strength is his head. He's definitely a smart fighter but his wrestling is not really impressive, doesn't have a gas tank and his striking is sub-par. Yeah, he's basically tailor-made for Liddell. I thought this was obvious.

Sean Salmon dominated him and got caught with a high kick. Tito Ortiz physically beat him, but lost a point for grabbing the fence. I understand the UFC wants to build hype and focus on the undefeated record of Rashad Evans, but he's gonna get knocked out. Liddell is going to cut off Evans's options to where Evans has to come and exchange and then lights out! THATS RIGHT I SAID EVANS=OVERRATED! Evans may be a good fighter, but he is overrated.

I smell a knockout! That isn't to say it is impossible for Rashad to win,but the odds aren't in his favor.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:35:56 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=6081#comment-47972 personally, i think Evans will fair well in the stand-up game with Chuck, i just don't think he'll win it.. Evans is a very explosive, elusive, energetic, bob-and-weave type of fighter.. so, he might actually pose problems for Liddell that no one has been able to pose previously.. i wouldn't be suprised to see a UD victory by Rashad.. i know Liddell's takedown defense is SUPERB, but, i think Rashad can get it to the ground.. either way, i'm stickin' with Chuck - Unanimous Decision.. personally, i think Evans will fair well in the stand-up game with Chuck, i just don’t think he’ll win it..

I think Evans is a stronger better wrestler than Liddell and I believe he can hang with his stand up. I wouldn't advise Evans to stand up with him but I think he should trade a couple of shots with chuck then go for the takedown. I think Rashads power will earn him a takedown whenever he feels like he needs to put the Ice Man on the mat. I think it will be a tough fight for Evans but don't count him out just yet.
