Video: Rashad refuse to sign autograph Stanky leg pic UPDATE

[Lamer]

Meh. The guy was clearly dicking around, he probably thought he could treat Rashad as his peer(they are both humans after all). Rashad clearly does not view himself in this manner, which is probably why he got so insulted. Honestly, it happened. Not everything in your career is gonna be a positive one, so embrace that shit. It's not like he was doing it because he thought Hashad sucked, he may have even thought Rashad would have found it amusing(I'm sure someone like Pat Barry would have laughed his ass off at something like that). I honestly don't even think it was even that disrespectful, it seemed more like a light hearted gesture that Rashad reacted very poorly too.


Maybe it's a psychological thing. He doesn't want to face a past KO in fear of being KTFO in his next fight.

wut if the worst moment of ur career/life was posterized and some random asshole came up to u with it and asked for u to sign it?

Honestly? I'd laugh pretty hard then sign the thing. If I were high profile pro fighter, I'd even give the kid props for coming up with the idea, then I'd plug my next fight. I'd probably even sign "Hope it doesn't happen again"

I'm assuming the response to this will be talk is cheap, but that seriously is what I'd do. Why? Because I don't think I'm better than anyone else and I'm secure enough with myself to be able to poke fun at my weakness/short comings/deficiencies. In short, I'm not a total assclown.

Being peers with someone is different than being friends. There two different types of relationships and should be treated as such.

When you''re friends with someone you know their limits and whats cool with them and whats not. If not then they be more than happy to tell you whats up.

When you're peers with someone that means you haven't been acquainted with each other and you're still trying to get to know each other. That means that stupid shit like pranks and such are off limits until yall feel like yall can actually be friends

Rahsad had no such relationship with these kids, therefore he doesn't deserve to be pranked on by them. Now if Rashad knew who they were than I wouldn't mind as much b/c Rahsad can get even or talk with them or whatever. But that's not the case here.
-----------------------------------------------------
I bet there are a lot of people in the same grade as you when you were in high school. And since there were I bet you considered those students to be your peers (after all that's what you think of Rashad).

So:

Does being peers with someone make it ok for you and your friends to walk through the halls and throw eggs on ppl's faces, while filming it? No.

Does being peers with someone make it ok to film you and your friends randomly confronting students who have failing grades and reading out their failing grades on camera and openly questioning why yall think they're so stupid? No.

Does being peers with someone make it ok for you to secretly film your roomate engaging in homosexual behavior only to send the video to said roomate's friends and spreading it all across the internet, when you know damn well that said roomate still prefers to keep his sexual orientation secret, personal, and to himself? No.
-----------------------------------------------------
People need to learn to respect other peoples' differences, wishes, and cultures. Just b/c you consIder everyone to be your "peers" (again not really sure what you mean by that) doesn't make it right for you to treat your "peers" however you like, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM PERSONALLY!!!

[Lamer]

Don't give me that professional crap. Rashad is just like everyone one of us with fame or not. If i had some dweeb come and disrespect me like that i would have done the same exact thing. He is actually lucky he didn't get his head thrown accross the room. There are some things that are amusing and funny, this was not one of them. Kid knew he had nothing to lose...if he was struck by Rashad then he could easily sue and press charges. Step in the octagon with him after and then i MIGHT respect this stunt.

That's sorta my whole point, fans should be able to treat professionals like their peers, Rashad CLEARLY does not feel this way. This was ment to be a light hearted ribbing from what I can tell. The sorta thing you see between friends. Rashad, judging from his reaction, does not feel this way. Rashad would prefer to be put up on a pedestal, he isn't to be made fun of or ribbed unless he approves of it first. Lets all bow to the untouchable, golden god that is Rashad Evans...don't say or do anything that he might construe as negitive or he'll blow up. Remember everyone, Rashad is above us, so be sure to kiss his ass and treat him as a complete superior.



God damn is Rashad an assclown.

There is a difference between ass kissing, bowing down to someone, and respecting someone. Just because you can act like a civil human being with manners does not mean you have to be an ass kisser or having to be looked down on by someone. Is it okay for you to walk up to a gay co worker and say, "hey faggot how are you doing" then? I mean, the gay guy has to just take that because if not he wants to be on a pedestal and be praised right? That kid does not know Rashad personally so no it does not give him the right to come and disrespect like that like it's all good. You dont walk up to a stranger in person and disrespect and expect everything to be dandy.

Pretty interesting view actually. I wouldn't really compare this situation to that of a private worker(As Rashad is a public figure, the office worker is not) However, if the open homosexual has shown that he's fine with that type of ribbing, much like Rashad has shown that he's alright with jokes, then I don't really see the issue. What you've brought to light is actually far more interesting than this subject. It's the idea that we SHOULD treat others differently based on social factors(race, gender, age, sexual or, etc) which really only moves everyone further apart, rather than bring us all together. Not to mention that very ideal is discrimination in and of itself.

That's cool that your able to do that and I see where you're coming from, but some ppl come from an area where you would get totally berated, laughed at, and called out for being a complete bitch for letting a kid get away with that sort of thing.

It's just not seen as such a platonic thing where other ppl come from.

People will even consider you an easy target to rob or to commit other crimes against b/c you apparently don't "stick up for yourself."

No. I do not agree with people who go around being a dick just to be a dick, nor is that what I'm suggesting here. What I'm suggesting is that people treat each other equally. I believe factors like race, gender, age etc shouldn't factor at all into how you treat another human. Rashad has shown countless times he's willing to rib people, guys that he doesn't consider his friends(Page, Jones, every fight he's ever talked shit before) yet when someone returns fire, he gets upset. If someone has a legitament issue with how you treat them, then talk it over with them, see why it's bothering them. It doesn't change the fact that everyone should be treated equally, no one should change how they treat people because of who they are, for good or bad.

Rashad has never come out and publicly said, "i am okay with being insulted by strangers", so sorry no. Coming up to a guy whos gay and calling him a faggot and thinking it is funny is the same exact thing that this kid did to Rashad. There is no "right" way to treat people, i know this, everything is all on how you were raised, opinions, and what morals you live by. That being said, we can sit here and argue over what is right and what is wrong all day but, if Rashad felt he was being disrespected here you cannot knock him for it as he is justified in this case. Just because you were raised differently and are not easily offended does not mean he was in the wrong for acting the way he did. I for one would have done the same exact thing, just because he is a celebrity it does not give fans the right to treat them the way they want.

Is it really all that irrational to view some random person asking you to sign an autograph of your most crushing defeat of your entire career as malicious? especially if said person doesn't do a good job of telling you it was a joke?

And just because you feel you can overcome something like that and view it as "funny." Doesn't make it true and (even more importantly) it doesn't make it okay to assume that other ppl will view it that way.

Bottom line those ppl don't know Rashad personally, and Rashad doesn't know them personally. So how in hell can Rashad view those actions from random ppl as platonic, when Rashad doesn't even know them?

And to be honest I thought it was stupid for Rashad to take offense to Jones saying that he would fight Shad for the belt in the first place (its a god damn championship match and an awsome opportunity for crying out loud). I also thought that some of the confrontations that Shad and Page had on TUF were unecessary and pointless. So I'm not upset that you view Rashad as an ass clown (even though I disagree).

That being said Shad is perfectly capable of laughing at himself and poking fun at himself. I don't think that Rashad views himself as being above or over people because if he truly believed that than he wouldn't be taking pictures of himself smiling, while wearing womens' wigs.

Rashad more so to me, seems like the type of guy who's quick to address or act on anything that he considerss disrespectful towards himself, which is something that a lot people do, especially professional fighters (i.e. Chael, Chuck, Tito, Faber, Anderson, Diaz bors etc.).

Not to mention you have to remember that Evans comes from New York and currently lives in Chicago, two places that have notoriously high crime rates and that have a reputation for being politically corrupt. Not everyone who greets you with a smile can be seen or judged as a nice, platonic person who just likes to joke around and have fun with ppl.

[vampxx24]

i seldomly back rashad (as his character is a dick, i believe the real rashad is indeed a good person which u can see when hes doing commentating) but this guy was a prick.. why would u expect someone to sign something like that. this is like a fan trying to get one of the wwe divas to sign one of their nudes at a public event with kids around.

im not a rashad fan, but its straight dick of the guy any way u put it...its embarressing and an direct effort of the guy to mock rashad. you cant honestly say the guy went their not knowing what he was doing with the pic. it was a direct attack on rashad for no reason. it seems you cant disgusih character from when someone is being their real selves... look at who u listed...all those guys have a "characteR" except maybe chuck... these guys understand business. if you are main or co-main you get a percentage of ppv and gate. chael,rashad,tito,page are MASTERS of knowing how to talk people into buying their fights. why do you think rashad vs page did 975,000 buys. both EASILY cleared over a million in total money from this. you build a character to get in ppvs which in the end run is more money in their pocket. chael is hard to tell when hes in character and chael, rashad and page are by far easier to tell when they are and are not in character. the real rashad seems to be a chill dude, his character is a straight dick tho...... it seems some mma fans dont understand the business part to all of this.

[BakMan]

Meh. The guy was clearly dicking around, he probably thought he could treat Rashad as his peer(they are both humans after all). Rashad clearly does not view himself in this manner, which is probably why he got so insulted. Honestly, it happened. Not everything in your career is gonna be a positive one, so embrace that shit. It's not like he was doing it because he thought Hashad sucked, he may have even thought Rashad would have found it amusing(I'm sure someone like Pat Barry would have laughed his ass off at something like that). I honestly don't even think it was even that disrespectful, it seemed more like a light hearted gesture that Rashad reacted very poorly too.


Maybe it's a psychological thing. He doesn't want to face a past KO in fear of being KTFO in his next fight.

wut if the worst moment of ur career/life was posterized and some random asshole came up to u with it and asked for u to sign it?

This is it. He got KO'd the fuck on TV. That shit is eternal. Do you think he doesn't see the gif's? The guy was disrespectful and deserved a slap. How can you ask someone do sign a picture where they were greatly embarrassed?

[gunswordfist]

The guy deserved a back hand but I give him credit for having the balls to troll a fighter to his face. Pretty uneventful video though..meh

Like Rashad is just going to back hand somebody at a UFC event in front of a camera one month before his big fight with Jones. The guy knew nothing really bad was going to happen to him there. Now if he did that somewhere more remote without any cameras than that would take real balls imo.

Obvious but I doubt someone would pull that shit with Rampage just for example. Evans should have walked him down and got in his face until the little bitch put up the white flag.

Yeah right balls. It's one thing doing that to a GSP or Rashad Evans. Do that Chris Leben or Nick Diaz or the aforementioned Rampage. Then I'll say you have cojones

Chris Leben seems pretty laid back to me.

[colon98]

im not a rashad fan, but its straight dick of the guy any way u put it...its embarressing and an direct effort of the guy to mock rashad. you cant honestly say the guy went their not knowing what he was doing with the pic. it was a direct attack on rashad for no reason. it seems you cant disgusih character from when someone is being their real selves... look at who u listed...all those guys have a "characteR" except maybe chuck... these guys understand business. if you are main or co-main you get a percentage of ppv and gate. chael,rashad,tito,page are MASTERS of knowing how to talk people into buying their fights. why do you think rashad vs page did 975,000 buys. both EASILY cleared over a million in total money from this. you build a character to get in ppvs which in the end run is more money in their pocket. chael is hard to tell when hes in character and chael, rashad and page are by far easier to tell when they are and are not in character. the real rashad seems to be a chill dude, his character is a straight dick tho...... it seems some mma fans dont understand the business part to all of this.

Just curious but do you honestly think that Rashad crumpled up and threw away a picture that showed him getting ktfo just so that he could sell a fight?

Because if that's what you think, than that's a little too far-fetched for me to believe. After all most of the people on here said they'd do the exact same thing mostly b/c of how disrespectful and insulting it is. Not just b/c they're trying to sell PPV's.

[doyousukadaweena]

Honestly? I'd laugh pretty hard then sign the thing. If I were high profile pro fighter, I'd even give the kid props for coming up with the idea, then I'd plug my next fight. I'd probably even sign "Hope it doesn't happen again"

I'm assuming the response to this will be talk is cheap, but that seriously is what I'd do. Why? Because I don't think I'm better than anyone else and I'm secure enough with myself to be able to poke fun at my weakness/short comings/deficiencies. In short, I'm not a total assclown.

You're funny. I bet if he signed it like you said then you'd call him a big puss. I can't reason with your kind of bias.
It's all good.

[discoowl]

op's been taken down here is

[RyoJi]

If anything, Rashad impressed me by handling the situation like a true professional. He kept his cool while still holding his ground and not overdoing it. It was obvious that those guys wanted to get a rise out of him when they kept whispering to put the camera on him so they can give him the picture. That and continue to pester him even after he crumbled up the photo. We all saw what happened to Overeem for JUST shoving someone. This could have played out a lot worse for Rashad.
