His head bobbing is not going to fool Forrest. I think Rashad is a great fighter, but not good enough to take the title from Forrest.

No he didn't. He looked almost identical to what he always has. (Possibly overly) elaborate foot and head movement, throwing a few shots every now and then working towards one big shot. Against Liddell it hit and he won. Against Ttio, against Bisping, it didn't. And therefore he produced very boring fights whilst losing to Tito bar a point reduction and barely overcoming Bisping. This is why people hate on Rashad. Not saying that I do particularly, but it's because he's got to where he is currently with basically a big strategical KO of Liddell and two fairly mediocre performances prior. And on top of that he forces this charisma out that firstly doesn't suit his fighting style, at all, and secondly is never really backed up in the cage. I have a ton of respect for him as a fighter but I really hope he loses this fight and I'm pretty sure he will. “He looked like a different fighter going up against Liddell.”

People are blinded by their hopes and their hatred (for Rashad). You’re living in dream land if you think Forrest is gonna KO Rashad or even has the power to do so.

He just isn't a likeable fighter and would be a horrible champion with all that showboating and stuff. He just doesn't have that "it" factor that the fans respond to.

He highlight reels himself into a title match and comes up short. Evans is a great fighter but I think Forrest has proven time and time again has the goods. Forrest by ud.
