Rashad Evans: I Have An Amazing Record for Having the Worst

Like him or not Rashad does have a great record, a better one than Jones has IMO. I don't know if he will win but I am pulling for Rashad because Jones is just fake, but I think Dana doesn't want Evans to be the champ. I think he is all up on Jones's crotch right now.

Rashad has a great point he only has 1 loss fighting HW's and LHW's that's crazy.

Of course Dana doesn't want Rashad to be the champ. With Jones he has a young, very marketable, very exciting superstar who will fight whoever, that the company can really get behind. With Rashad he's got a veteran who has been there and done that before and has a history of some boring fights, including probably one of the biggest let-downs of all time with that Rampage fight.

Good point on comparing him to Edgar. never thought of it like that. i suppose the key difference is edgar got rocked in the 1st, whereas evans seems to get rocked in the final round

He's got a good point, he does have a glass chin but he can hold people down so well that he rarely gets hit flush.

i kind a feel bad for rashad sometimes, but i still think he gets outclassed badly in this fight.

I think Dana was pissed for a long time because of the Rampage fight

do people really say edgar has an iron chin? i don't think his chin is all that great but he has great recovery time and a huge heart.

i will never forget the machida when he was rocked the second time he got up from it ate a couple more shots laughed it off thinking damn i just took machidas best then BAM out cold.

the guy can take a good shot, and he usually gets rocked late in the fight when he is already tired and fatigued, which is even better

Frankie came back from getting KTFO multiple times to win his fights.

Rashad got KTFO and went to sleep. Horrible example.

But I do think saying a fighter has a glass chin is really old. Lets talk about the skills fighters can develop and control these days. There are plenty of great fighters who probably have had weak chins but never let anyone test it.

But when has Frankie been put to sleep like Rashad? Its just a bad comparison to try to make.
