Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida

I don't hate Evans out of the ring.

I just cannot stand him in the ring. Stop dancing and showing up other guys and just fight the damn match.

This is wrong. It's a fight, you should do whatever you can to win. If he can do anything to throw his opponent off his game; he should. You should know that fighting really pissed off is way harder to do opposed to someone that stays calm and relaxed. Nothing personal, but people should really get the stick out of their asses about in ring antics.

Probably should stay clear of Nick Diaz fights. lol

I guess these guys must hate Muhammad Ali because that same thing rashad does in the ring.I like flair in fighters i love watching Prince Naseem Hamed,Roy Jones Jr. and especially Muhammad Ali.The one thing people have to remember this ain't football or hockey where you might get if hit you showboat.You are stepping octagon with some who will hit you and if you are confident to put down yours hands while somebody is swinging a punch that is amazing to me.

The only thing is you have to back up Evans didn't, watch the replay.Evan was talking smack until Machida hit him with a wild right hook.

Okay? So because it works I shouldn't hate him? I hate him because it looks stupid and it's disrespectful to the other fighter.

Aye - we can dislike whoever we want for whatever reasons we want. Just like how you can like whoever you want for whatever reasons you want.

I understand you guys not liking the dude, but what exactly is disrespectful about what he does in the cage?

exactly. People have their fav athletes and ones they don't like in every sport. You don't have to justify it. I am not a big fan of Evans either. No reason why either. Just not one of the guys I like.

Machida will have the Belt for a LONG LONG time. His style reminds me of when Royce Gracie confused the hell out of everyone with BJJ and was untouchable for some time.

The Dragon makes me feel the same way.....

Evans was really in a world of hurt right there. Although I don't like his antics, I highly respect EVERYONE who steps into the Octagon. They should get paid a lot more than they do right now. Most of them will have severe problems later in life because of the beating that they receive. I think Hughes and Liddell should both retire and stay retired because of that. Hughes is going to get messed up real bad if he continues to fight. I was shocked at how easily he was rocked by that head butt in the Serra fight.
