Wondering who you would favor in a rematch at this point?

I have a feeling most will say Machida but i think Rashad has improved enough to take a rematch. Either way its a fight Id like to see at some point. I feel Rashad gets overlooked a bit.
 
i made a thread a while ago on this... i got pretty handled for picking rashad in a competitive match.
 
Machida would win again. Rashad would be a nervous wreck going in to this fight after the whole shadface incident. He would prob lose his mind if there was a shadface 2.0
 
Rashad does get overlooked but Machida will always be an awful matchup for him. Very hard to take down, more technical standing, one of the few guys with a speed advantage over him... Rashad was always good and has improved but he can't become a totally new fighter. Styles make fights and this is a bad matchup for Rashad

what makes you say he would be so nervous? hes been asking for this match up

why would a shadface make him lose his shit.

hes gotten a lot better since machida slayed him

im starting to agree with this more and more

Really? I dont get it. Yeah Machida torched him back in 2008-2009 or whatever so what. Rashad imo has looked better since they fought.
 
Evans if he goes back to his wrestling background and understands he isn't going to win the standup

i agree. + i have the favorite fighter bias.

but to be fair, so has machida

I don't really see what Rashad would do different. He would still be kept at a distance and he's not iron chinned enough to take Machida's punches to get inside to land his own.
 
I'm not really sure..

Rashad..
Just kidding, Machida would KO him again imo

He wanted the Jones fight too and looked absolutely lost from rounds 2-5.
 
I think Machida wins again.

Evans does get overlooked quite a bit. He's got that Franklin/Fitch/Florian thing going right now, where he can beat just about everyone but the champ. I think Rashad beats every 205er not named Jones or Machida.
