Secondly, Rashad had beaten everyone he's faced so if either he or Machida gets the next shot, no complaining here as both have clearly earned it. Thirdly, Sugar is constantly evolving... Forrest fought Rampage nearly the same as Sugar tonight... both were Machida style... it's really not that much different from how Chuck fought in his prime (a circling-counter puncher) except Chuck had/has bigger punching power. Sugar and Forrest still have a great deal of learning to do, being the relatively newbies into MMA that they are, and they still seem to be taking leaps ahead with every new match and the training that goes with it. They are at or near the top and they still have much further to go... that's impressive. Fourthly, calling Sugar boring is hilarious....it doesn't even deserve a response...kinda like Kimbo not needing to reply to the 2ndBrett Rogers letter. Finally, that all being said.. Nipple tweaking... amazingly annoying crazy F'ing wife.... post fight antics that seem disingenuous and completely lacking in respect... Damn... don't idiots like Barnett, Lesner and now Evans watch how the crowd responds to GSP, Forrest, Randy and how that makes them way more popular and way more 'endorsable' (if that's a word).... even if Sugar wins the LHW belt, do you want him representing your company? Some of these new breed are truly dumb bastards and lacking in general sportsmanship... it seems to be getting worse, but maybe that's just me???

It's also the sound of Chuck's motionless body hitting the canvas, along with everybody in MMA's jaw hitting the ground. Rashad was most impressive 2night. It was like somebody dropped a grenade on Chuck when they were trading blows. I don't think people realize how perfect that blow was. He put the Iceman to sleep!!!! No one has done that. Rampage gnP'd him out. Chuck was out for a while!! Reminiscent of Franklin/ Quarry yeah dog that bad. That boom is the shakeup of the Ufc.

The punch Rashad landed came when he stood toe to toe with Liddell and basically said to himself "I don't care if Liddell hits me, I'm just going to hit him first." The punch wasn't even a counter, it was a direct blow straight to Liddell's head. -"Rashad is the new Tito," really? Yes the fight was boring but mostly because Chuck was looking for ONE punch the whole entire time. It takes two to make a bad fight. If you heard Joe's comments early, the fight game needs to evolve more in terms of striking with kicks and punches and variety. The fighter who evolves the most will stay on top. Those who just pivot will eventually fall to the bottom. -”Rashad is a chicken”, really, were you not watching the same fight I was.

The man knocked him out and got the win, give him his props. I don't wanna hear that his dancing is disrespectful, because are you all forgetting that little screaming move with his arms spread out that Liddell does after every knockout win? Seriously lighten up, it's not like he was dancing OVER Liddell's motionless body. Everybody's reaction to excitement is different, and this win might have changed Rashad's life. Let him do whatever he wants, he deserved it. I’m not sure if they are really this many Rashad haters or if they are all on Liddell’s balls.

Only 50% wins by decision! Countless (2) of knockouts in his 17 fight winning streak. Hours of footage of him laying on top of fighters and resting! Known for his entertaining nipple playing (good for all those gay male MMA watchers), and running away. His most memorable match to date was vs the powerhouse Chuck Liddell, where he ran, danced, and pretty much chickened out until Chuck left himself open to a beautifully delivered knockout (I am serious for that part). Man I wish Chuck had evolved more. Rashad is the new Tito. Boring boring boring lay lay lay, boring boring boring. Unfortunately he also added the #&$($# nipple playing. The only reason I watched was because the rest of the card was solid & he was fighting Chuck. Rashad Evans, the up an coming exciting UFC fighter! Only 50% wins by decision!

A fighter comes in with a game plan that keeps him away from the other fighters strong points then wins with the one advantage that everyone said he had and everyone is upset? Sorry Sugar didn't do his part and just throw his chin out there to get tagged by Chuck. I guess you have to expect to be called everything in the book when you take down the golden child. And what does this say about Genghis Jackson? So let me get this right.
