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
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.
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.
We saw a under two minute fight where Evans didn't even go for a takedown. That's a huge a assemption
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.
