Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida
Too confident = cocky. He's too cocky. He doesn't have to be like Forrest. Anderson Silva seems to have the right ammount of confidence without being cocky. Some of what he does might be for the sake of entertainment but there's a line. It seems like Brock learned after his Heath Herring ride,Evans can learn too.Comment

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida
To me, the only pound-for-pound list that matters is whatever order people put Fedor, Anderson Silva, and GSP in. Those three are just head and shoulders above everyone else.
If Rashad beats Machida, I suppose he'd firmly put himself in that everyone else discussion to round out the top 10 or whatever, but I don't think he comes close to those top three.
A good win over Machida would probably establish him as the clear top dog at 205 right now, though. And that's something considering how wide open the division has been for a while.Comment

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida
Lmao. You guys kill me with all this "disrespectful" talk. I don't think he is at all but I can understand why one might argue that. How are you gonna hate on the dude for being too confident though? Should Sugar Shad walk around with his eyes to the ground talking about "I hope I can win this fight?" Lol, man I can't wait until these dudes throw down.
It's like some people love him just by virtue that others feel so strongly against him. There's not much to love or to hate about him imo, His biggest strength has been his unbelieveable rate of improvement since he's been in the UFC - everyone should give him credit for that, he has elevated his game dramatically at a constant rate.
Just like I don't get why some people hate rampage, I don't get why people L-O-V-E Rashad
If Ramp and Shad faught, like why cheer for Rashad?
Machida has a bunch of haters too, and he is someone else that I respect but feel indifferent towards, so I'm just looking for a good fight.Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.Comment

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida
I'm indifferent to Shad, so I'll ask you this - why do some people adore him? I just don't understand why anyone before the Lidell fight would go "I really hate Lidell and want this cocky guy to beat his ***"

I'd be interested to see the ratio of people who actually caught him on TUF (where all this **** started) versus those who only saw him 'dance' against Liddell, and 'disrespect' Griffin.
The man does what makes him comfortable. It's a fight, you do what you need to do to stay in your zone or else you're gonna get KTFO.Last edited by MayorPeete; 05-08-2009, 08:19 PM.Comment

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida
I like Rashad because his game is sick. Isn't that enough these days? WHEN we do get Evans-Rampage, I wouldn't be able to cheer for one or thee other. But if I HAD to pick, I'd most definitely root for Shad. This dude is the PBF of the UFC, and his act only makes things more exciting and interesting.XBL: DTX3

PS: Anyone else notice the ridiculous amount of injuries that has changed this card? Mir, Rampage, Okami, Houston, Koscheck, Irvin; that's A LOT!Last edited by Parasight; 05-08-2009, 08:40 PM.Comment

I don't understand all this cocky talk either. So what he has some swagger when he's in the cage, a confident fighter should. I could see if he just went around talking **** about fighters but that's not what he's about. He always respects his opponents and is a pretty reserved guy when he's just normally talking. People hate this cat for no good reason. Does he smile too much or something? Is he having too much fun when he fights?
Liddell is cool and Forrest is cool, but I wanted Rashad to bust them both up. Someone's gotta win the fight and you're gonna pull for the dude who you like the most. It's not a matter of anyone hating either of those guys in most cases. Rashad is fun to watch, why shouldn't we root for him?Comment

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida
Let's just put this whole like Rashad/dislike Rashad thing to rest. Let's just accept that he's a very polarizing fighter, and people are going to have very different opinions about him. There's been some people on both sides of this that have kinda acted like the other people were wrong in their opinion of the guy.
Regardless, what isn't polarizing is the fact that the guy is a good fighter. Here's to hoping him and Machida put on a good show.Comment
