I enjoyed the hell out of watching Evans get stomped. Not a Rashad fan if you can't tell.

Same here.

The whole crotch grab thing during the Forrest fight had me wanting to see him get beat, but the way he went down was a bit concerning

But he's OK sooooooooooooo

Damn lights out. I'll be honest when Machida first came into UFC i didn't think much of him but he's looking pretty unstoppable. I love guys with unique styles.

MMA is evolving and Machida is proving Karate is a great base, but just like any other discipline in MMA it must be supported by others. Machida has a great package....................that didn't sound good . He has high level training in several disciplines. I think he has a black belt from the Gracie's (BJJ), his judo is very good, I've seen him employ some devastating Muay Thai, he can wrestle and his Karate well..................

It's going to be interesting to see if, when and by whom he will be solved.


Oh....... and this is evolution even I can believe in

That's fine with me. I never liked Serra from when he was on the UFC show on Spike. I thought he acted like a tool.

He reminds me of Chuck Liddell back when no one could figure him out. Counter strikers are usually fun to watch since you usually don't expect a knockout blow coming from the guy backing up.

He's extremely talented, and very quick for his size. The commentators were talking about how point sparring in karate has influenced his MMA style and you can definitely see it. Short bursts of high intensity, in, and out. What I find really exceptional is his ability to throw punches while at the same time being able to dodge his opponents counters.

His BJJ is no doubt exceptional, but you could tell that he wanted to stand up for this fight and didn't have much interest going to the ground with Evans.

Can't wait to see who challenges him for the belt.
