I hope u been working on your striking young man, cause Rashad comes to FIGHT !!!
could that microphone be any bigger.
In his last two fights... he came to wrestle.
What is his secret weapon, was secretly lying his face off.
rashad to win by k.o.
He came to snuggle.
blanket suit [on]
What if the secret weapon turned out to be JJ ? lol
That's the first thing I thought of course. It's entirely possible, but it would be a bit awkward considering the winner will face Jones next.
I dont think its Jones tho, jones and davis are like Coke and pepsi right now ;)
One has more Sugar?
Suga? Ruaaahhh. Well i like it quite Rich Frankly. Lol.
I think the winner will face either Jon Jones or Rampage, whoever comes out on top.
Pulling for Davis in this fight....hes one of my fav young n upcoming fighters.....I think he'll b able to use his wrestling and control Evans to a decision
"number-one contender for division Champion Jon "Bones" Jones"? So rampage stands no chance of beating jones @ ufc 135? rather presumptuous...
A simple mistake. Thanks for pointing this out : )
don't lie when writing this you had jones kicking my boy rampages butt playing through your head say it isn't so! no sweat just teasing:)
Me too. Evans is ok but i hate that he was dodging to fight all the time i want ot see him lose just once at least cause of that and cause of the fact that he also escaped being ko-ed by silva and rampage...he's got a 4 leaf clover in that tights of his it seems.
Evans is an excellent wrestler. I will give him that. He will always have that to fall back on when he gets dazed.
No doubt he is...it's beyond me how he gets out of those sticky situations in zombie-wresting mode. He was a nightmare against rampage, cause you never know what he's gonna do he starts off with faking the takedown, then up comes the right hand, and that sets the premise for the fight then on out opponent never knowing hes gonna do cause he's so quick. Then he fakes the overhand right to setup the takedown. Brilliant. Doesnt change the fact that i still want to see him lose just once :p
Agree with that totally. Plus I can't stand Rashad either so any loss he takes would be a win for me! Haha jk. Seriously though I don't like Rashad....
I honestly don't know how this one will go.
Both are excellent wrestlers, but Rashad edges out Davis in striking. Rashad has more explosive takedowns--but Davis is slippery. Both are very strong.
Could go either way, but I give the edge to Rashad in probability of victory.
The title sounds perverse
If you go w/ pure wrestling the edge is Davis all the way stats dont lie! Davis only lost 17 times in 4 yrs w/ a national title to show for it as well and Evans lost 34 times in 3 yrs! Striking wise hands down Evans well that's if he comes w/ his hands up wanting to throw them unlike the last 2 fights! Hopefully for the fans Evans doesn't try the hold you up against the fence tactic!
light heavyweight division is looking pretty stacked at the top end, lots of great fights to look forward to regardless of results
who is the chick she looks cute and yeah cute
phil davis' secret weapon was lyoto machida. smart move on davis since he's the only guy to actually beat rashad..
