rashad has got some style but the sunglasses indoors have got to go bro

Can’t stand rashad, hope he loses his belt quickly.

Did anyone else get reminded of Arvlowski when they saw Rashads foot work.

All bow down before King Rasahad…I have been a HUGE Rashad supporter and fan since TUF 2. I’m very happy to see him getting the credit he deserves. Who would have thought we’d end the year with an undefeated champ.

speaking of which I could not help but think how bad Mir would have got fucked up had he of fought Arlovski

Bisping has gave Evans’s toughest fight to date!

Have their been any other UFC belt holders with undefeated records?

The fight went down exactly as I predicted. Rashad Evans Rules!

Rashad is a great fighter, but honestly he isn’t the caliber to be champ. He is cocky and distrispectful. I’m curious to see how he fights after his first loss. Which is coming soon. Look for the return of Shogun.

for some reason i dont see the belt staying on rashad long, especially with page.machida etc in the division, that division is just crazy! belt holer with undefeated record, – gracie maybe, only one i can think of!

rashad evans is the man… nobody believe me but jajaja now im laughing to all those mtf jajaja ;D

I say Rashad is the fighter of the year

- Rashad Knocked out one of the biggest names in MMA (liddell) in brutal fashion

- Rashad knocked out Forrest Griffin en route to becoming the new LHW champion

- He’s done all this while still remaining undefeated

- In his last 5 fights, only 1 has gone to a decision and 1 draw, the other three are highlight
  reel finishes.

- Those that do not like Rashad labeled him as boring, now that he’s finishing fights, he’s being labeled as cocky or a showboater. Regardless of how you feel about his behavior, you can’t deny his accomplishments and his evolving skills.

- I know some folks are gonna start talking about the next fighter who’s gonna sub him, or ko him, just like all his previous opponnents were supposed to do, but let’s all be fair and give credit where credit is due.

- Rashad Evans should be the 2008 fighter of the year

Now that Rashad is strategic about his take down attempts, his gas tank seems top notch.

i rooted for forrest to win but bet on rashad. i didnt like his crotch grabbing but that guy is incredibly quick.

i really want to see him face rampage next.

machida has not earned a title shot yet. he should first have to beat silva then forrest or jardine.

I think Rashad’s status as a fighter is hugely overblown.

He’s got several extremely close calls on his record – in fact, I think he should have lost vs. Ortiz and Bisping, but that’s judges for you. His two other split decisions were 50/50 affairs, could have gone either way. That all four of these went his way is… well, beyond improbable.

Also – were his victories over Liddell and Griffin all that impressive? Sure, it was smart of him to taunt Liddell into doing something stupid, but that doesn’t change the fact he almost literally spent six and a half minutes of that fight running. Whereas in the Griffin fight, he spent 10+ minutes getting his ass kicked. I enjoy a dramatic turning point as much as the next guy, but at best, that only proves that the guy who pulls it off is a competent opportunist. The true greats dictate how and where the fight takes place.

You might as well start claiming that Keith Jardine is the next great champion – he beat Liddell, Griffin, and Vera, after all… unfortunately, just as in Rashad’s case, it’d be nonsense. Rashad just hasn’t run into his Houston Alexander.

Great job Rashad! I love all fighters who credit the master Bruce Lee. Sad that greedy Dana didn’t give him his extra $60K for submission of the night. Watch the replay he tapped repeatedly. He should have got a double bonus.

rashad will be lucky if he successfuly defends his belt twice. machida would out point him to a easy decision and silva might overwhelm him. i think shogun could beat him anywhere and rampage has crisper boxing and would be the stronger of the two grapplers. it’s wierd how he fought at hwt when he’s so small at lhw. if rashad quit doing his squat thrusts for a training camp he could make 185 no prob.

Thats was the first time I have ever not picked Rashad to win a fight in my fantasy league and will be the last. Rashad is a king and I think he will defend the title for a long time. He is a freaky dude in there, while I watched the fight with my wife I kept on saying “Forrest cant do anything to him” “watch he’s going to knock Forrest out”. People need to realize that Rashad is a freak, I like what Forrest said about him before the fight “He doesnt just knock guys out he knocks them out so they dont get up right way knocked out” I would put life on Rashad against Machida, he will suffer his first loss against Evans. Rashad is to fast and to strong plus he has a serious ground game as well, he is so good he doesnt get to showcase his ground skills. He gets no respect and I dont understand that, he doesnt just win fights he ends them viciously and he just does it to however is infront of him. I like his win against Brad Imes in the finals of TUF, I know Imes is a bum but he is one of the biggest ones in the UFC and Rashad beat him like he stole something. I dont know what he has to do to get people to realize he is for real. He has never lost, no one can touch him. Rashad will be champ for a while.
