jesus! didnt see that one coming!
HOLY FUCK! FIRST!
what the fuck liddell gettin ko’d at his own game i think rashads hand had retirement all over it
knocked the EFF out! so what’s next? machida vs. wandy or machida vs. evans?
or does he still have to beat lidell? some give machida a title shot!
Why is he wearing a tshirt with Bill Gates’ mugshot? Anybody know?
Kaaboooom
What the fuck? Just retire now Chuck.
To think I actually had faith in him.
Chuck got caught! He is best when counter punching not when he is the agressor in a fight! 3 losses in his last 4 fights! Nobody gave Rashad a chance! What a shame to see Chuck go out like this if it’s the end! Looks like Rashad can finnish after all! Look out Forest here comes an undefeated Rashad Evans!
Thiago Alves gonna rock Evans.
Congrats Rashed, but a truly sad day for MMA. Chuck is very far removed from a title shot and it spells a new era for UFC.
garbage fight, fixed
LOL “Ice Man” career over
I watched this fight live on pay per view and this punch was so quick it caught me by surprise. I’m still in shock right now. I am a big time Liddell fan but damn, Liddell got beat in his own game. Liddell really needs a NEW game plan when he fights, people know what to expect when he fights, he CANNOT just stand up all the time and expect to knock ppl out. Chuck Liddell is being exposed now and he needs to mix up his skills more so his striking will be more effective. You never know what to expect from MMA, any fighter has a chance to win. That’s why I gotta give more props to the fighters who are winning on a consistent basis like Anderson Silva, Fedor, GSP, BJ Penn, and Randy Couture, these guys are the real superstars in MMA.
I think Chuck will retire after tonight, because that was F%$&ck embarrassing…….
Good shot! Nice and solid hit! If Chuck’s head was a baseball that would be a grand slam!
chuck got knocked out with his own punch…rashad landed that same shot to chuck’s shoulder a couple of times.
THANKS FOR ALL THE QUICK UPLOADS…WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT THIS SITE!!!
I don’t know why… but I hate seeing Chuck get knocked out.
After this fight I think I’m going to stop doubting Evans.
wow- that came outta nowhere. right on the kisser.
rashad didnt even attempt a takedown. if youd have told me this fight was all standup, i’d have never guessed rashad would win.
um, three questions…
first off, where in the fuck where the leg kicks on rashad? his stance was ridiculously wide and all i saw was someone waiting around for a knockout. shitty fight.
second, does rashad even realize that had he NOT been that split second quicker that he’d be the one sleeping?
lastly, how is anyone to be impressed with this finish? liddell has lost to rampage twice, but beats wanderlai…who beat rampage via KO twice…but before that, chuck lost to Keith freakin jardine, who was Ko’ed twice…one of those times by wanderlai…::shakes head:: chuck is not the same person he was a year an a half or more ago, which further makes me believe that rashad fought him past his prime.
horrible fight, good KO though…but still, that was not an MMA match. why would a counter fighter stalk someone? at least throw a leg kick moron. fuck i hate liddell and this is why. now have rashad fight rich, who is still in his prime, THEN i will have respect for him. but not when he fights a has been.
i told everyone.. all the rashad doubter.. some big assholes bash rashad… now wha mafaka…. does it hurt your ego as bad as it hurt chuck?
HOLY FUCK INDEED! All it takes is one hit
when i saw this, my jaw literally dropped, then i exploded in laughter, haha.
who knew rashad at knockout power, other than that head kick.
this is the 2nd time i saw chuck get knocked out, he doesnt like right hooks haha.
but i never liked chuck, cocky, arrogant, talks to much shit.
chuck will always be a formidable opponent at 205, but he wont be top of the game anymore.
nice finish rashad.
I think that’s the end of Liddell
Too bad
Chuck’s done! Way to go Rashad. I expected Evans to win, but not by KO. Liddell’s best days are behind him.
Tito must be feeling good about himself. he went the distance with sugar.wanderlei vs rashard-the winner to fight griffin! that should be the next fight
I wonder about when herb Dean turn Chuck over did he tell him,”YOU GOT KNOCKED THE F’ OUT!” Congrats Evans…RETIRE Chuck….Sammy The Bull may know about how to win metal but he doesn’t know anything about my brand new favorite fighter Evans…damn that bandwangon fit very well…lol
DAM, chuck got knock the fuck out
go evens, hes so dam quick, to fast he needs to learn striking perfectly and he will be unstoppable
lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chuck was over confident he left himself open for the big punch…. That was unbelieveable i really thought Chuck would win…. But I know in Chucks mind it was a stepping stone to the title, this makes things very very interesting!!
I am Sad.
Rashad was frustrating chuck with his movement. Rashad is quick.. that’s was really slick footwork/head movement to set up that overhand. That was BRUTAL!
Peace
O
That was hilarious
it’s time to look for a new camp.
Same thing, over and over for chuck.
Chuck loves to throw the uppercut from the outside. Big mistake against Jackson & now Evans. That’s the hardest way you can get hit with a punch. Coming forward with your hands down.
Hey, Billy.
iceman got knocked the fuck out!! his moment in the sun is over. why people would boo evans is beyond me. then he knocks that bum out and gets booe after the KO. fanboys should come to terms with the fact that chuck wis done and put down the hatorade.
damn i allways pick the wrong fighter to win. i never like evans even tho i know he’s good. nasty knock out chuck is flat out feel sorry for him surely it looked like he’s done just like the ice in artic ocean global warming is coming for chuck the ice is melting lol i’m only kidding. i just cant believe how the fight ended. i’m empress of rashad now but still dont like him. probly cause he’s abit cocky
I saw it coming.
Everyone wanted Chuck to win but since chuck lost to Rampage and Jardine i’ve been really put off him becuase I noticed how one dimensional a fighter he is.
Maybe He’ll learn next time that if all he has to offer is to keep pushing forward with his left leg and waiting for a nasty right hand then he should really retire.
Personally, I think Liddells done and has been for along time.
that will forever be the biggest fight of his entire career.. and he didn’t show a single sign of emotion..
i figured it would be Evans by decision… definitely didn’t expect THAT.
fast very fast hands,nice job Evan.
This is the greatest website ever!thank you so much for posting.I knew sooner or later chuck’s wide shots would get the best of him.
What a punch. This loss for Chuck has to really make him feel that he might be done. Well, it just might fuel the fire in him and help make him better. However, he isn’t getting any younger and he will have to climb that latter again. I’d like to see him stay yet I dont want to see him end up like Shamrock.
Nice punch Evans
actually Big Rob DH,
YOU’RE SECOND. In future don’t take anything for granted…
i’ve never been so sad to see a fighter lose. wow i can’t believe that just happened.
I hated seeing Chuck lose like that.
Evans is boring fighter, I only hope they feed him to Wanderlei or Rampage very soon.
Wow. Chuck looked fat. That was one hell of a bomb. You could tell the whole fight, rashad had the faster hands. Chuck thought he could counter punch that jab with a downward angle motion and come up with an uppercut, and rashad already had the hook coming in. Super fast reflexes, he deserved that knockout/win.
i am so pleased that people are finally starting to see the chinks in liddells armour…i’ve always said he has a weak chin every fight he has he gets rocked by glancing blows and his opponents just let him recover instead of pouncing on him…liddell’s jaw is made of glass hit it solid and he’s out…beauitful knock out…
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dissapointing…cant diss evan beatiful knockout
the iceman? now you look more like the snowman
FUCK YEAH SUGAR!
you got the juice now
lucky shot!!
Liddell got knocked the FUCK OUT! Plain and simple.
Damn…..
That was the last thing I expected to see!
Poor chuck looked in a bad way.
How the hell do you guys do it, I cant believe this is up already.
BEST KNOCKOUT OF 2008 TO DATE
GO RASHAD
i know chuck is danas buddy but I think its about time he hung up his gloves instead of destroying the legacy he had built up.
Rashad Evans isnt half the fighter chuck used to be and was lucky to get the decision over bisping. Hel get found out as soon as he fights someone decent
WHAT THE HELL? Where’d that come from?
Chuck just simply got caught.. He still has it in him though… I think!! I hope!!
WOW! That has to be the quietest I have ever heard a UFC crowd. Stunned.
Rashad wait for the big bomb, like he said he is a patient guy
wow, thought that would be the other way around. gotta keep those hands up
BOOM!!!! ON THE FLOOR……bye bye chuck
rashad was too damn fast for beer belly chuck…i’m sure i saw that mono-ab leak some bud.
Rashad is like the mohamed ali of mma…too fast
BIG f!@#!en wow WOW WOW WOW WOW
Chuck your 38, give it up now man, I can see the fluid building up in your brain from the blows you’ve taken all these years. Go live your life.
Fuck Dana give rashad his chance at the title, that cocksucker griffin didn’t have to go through all these fights to get a shot. rashad is undefeated.
Wow, I had to watch it 5 times to believe it. That was not the outcome the fight was headed for. Hats off to Rashad, you have a new fan.
Lets just see if you can get past Rampage.
man that shitty…rashad was a big time pussy that fight. Half way through the fight I was like.. OH no chuck is goin for the kill, hands half way down this isnt good rashad will knock him out…2nd round comes his coaches repeat over and over be patient he ignores em and just keeps pushin rashad, and thats what he gets… I know he tried to put on a show for the fans but, that shit wasnt smart.. After wachign this fight I still think Chuck is good, I just think rashad is the biggest pussy of all time
Good thing Chuck signed that budweiser endorsement deal before this fight…Chuck has kept this style of fighting for a long time b/cuz it has worked for him, but I think if he’s going to stay in the fight game his whole approach in the cage will have to change b/cuz everyone has essentially figured him out..he throws weird-angled looping punches but has trouble with defensive strikers that use great foot/head movement and angles, such as Rashad and Jardine with his “herky jerky” style in the ring..LOL @ Rashad trying to pounce on the corpse…Chuck hit the canvas like a character on Bonanza that got shot..wow
for a second i thought he just killed chuck lidell there… he look like he just got hit with a jackhammer and died. bring on lyoto and that will be a good fight. rashad was very patience and elusive, found chuch’s pattern and boom! with a mayhem. just couldn’t pass from a brotha!!!representing niagara falls MMA!!!
Jesus fucking Christ!
Out cold before he hit the ground. Evans is no joke, Chuck needs to keep his hands up
I am speechless…
I just noticed the big “Bud Light” in the middle of the Octagon, and the “Harley Davidson” on the sides. The UFC is huge now, with huge corporate sponsors.
I’ve always said that black fighters are the future of this sport. Sugar!!
Chuck did the same thing he did with Rampage, Got knocked the Fuck Out!
ouch!
I like Chuck, but I hate to see him drop his guard like that..
The Iceman has been melted..!!!
Damn I didn’t see that one coming either and neither did Liddell. That was the most vicious one punch knockout I’ve seen all year. WOW! Maybe Rashad Evans is legit. Is it gonna be Griffin-Evans for the belt now?
chuck retire your slow and sloppy and unaccurate with your punches you need to train harder because of your ageing body.
I was suprised yet Rashad had the perfect game plan 1. Frustrate Chuck (he did) 2. Counter punch Chuck when he throws punches and leaves himself wide open. Great speed and perfect timing on punch.
to bad for ice man i em sry for chuck hope he will be back mma is not the same wen he is not there but the nasty hit by rashad right on time
evans lured liddell into coming forward and throwing punches … then when liddell drop his guard and lowered his left… POW! looked like the end of rocky 3 hah
unlucky chuck … but superb knockout by rashad!
Chuck needs to go back to being “Party” Chuck! He was happier then when he did, coke everyday! At least he was winning, too bad they had to start drug testing him.
I know all this because, Chuck used to party at my club all the time. Too bad Chucky, =( time for a new life.
PS- Blacks are on the rise in MMA hahhaa.
Chuck low guard/hands made him pay yet again. Chuck, keep your hands up next time or just retire.
OH #$%^!
WOW!!KTFO!!!!!
sugar rashad frozed the old wash up iceman lol pros picked the iceman “”knocked out cold”" deammmmmmmmmmmm……….
We have critical damage, all systems shutdown! Talk about the perfect punch that thing landed perfectly on his a knockout point.
When Rashad isn’t dancing around and running backwards he is a pretty good fighter with awesome power. He should that during the ultimate fighter and earlier in his carrier. I hope he continues to engage when he fights. I hope he gets a title fight; it would be an interesting match up between him and Forest.
das ryte
what do you think of rashad now?
The Ice Man melted…
It’s classic! When a champion starts losing, it always a long streak.
Wow, what a bomb!
Well…ONE LUCKY PUNCH….this is MMA…so its anything goes alright…shees that couldve been a chuck liddell fight… a credit to Evans..Nice work Bruno!
*2 fighting gloved thumbs up!*
damn it, chuck is getting too old to keep his hands down the whole fight
lmao poor iceman, got melted away, white men can’t fight..Obama power..Dominate the white man, nice one rashad..
If Chuck wants to continues with his carrier and be successful, he needs to mix it up like he did during the Silva fight. He was amazing on that night, throwing punches from every angle, his hands were up, for the most part, he threw leg kicks, high kicks and most impressive, he was shooting in on Silva, which I haven’t seen him attempt since his early days.
Chuck, I think you have three or more fights left in you, but if you are going to win. You have to stop with this one-dimensional style, because everyone has figured it out. Be the fighter that you were when you fought Wanderlei Silva and you’ll win.
Yosh!
I love it how people still criticize Rashad. Kevin, stop talking…you are an idiot. What happened…happened because Rashad is simply better than Liddel. All you Liddel fans can go fuck yourself.
when you watch the slow mo, you see that the quickest hands won that exchange. Chuck was a bit sloppy in throwing that punch as it left him open but I didn’t think he expected Rashad to be that quick (though he knew Rashad was quick, just not that quick). They both started around the same time but Rashad was first to connect and connect hard.
I hope Wandy gets a shot at Rashad, I’d like to see “Sugar” get his head knocked off. Oh by the way, Chuck’s teeth are for sale on Ebay if anyone wants to place a bid. Holy Hell!
did someone above seriously say “blacks are on the rise in MMA”? woooooooooow. didn’t rampage just lose to a white boy? let’s not make this a racist ordeal morons. nobody cares if someone was black, white, korean, etc who won…a win is a win. even if it is the luck of the punch and no skills otherwise.
You can fight with your hands down if and only if you have quick legs and great upper body movement… both of which chuck does not have. Come on chuck basic boxing, when you throw a right the left must be up at your chin and vice versa. It to protect you from stuff like that. Even with his flawed boxing style he would have still won if he was patient, he kept lunging at Evans hands down chin up. What did you think Evans was going to do?
chuck cant retire just from losing.he will fight out his contract then try to sign another one .chuck you need to work on those situps maby that right uppercut would have been faster?
Wow! Evans fought scared and nailed Chuck with one damn lucky punch.
I would love to see Wandy get a shot at Evans… there would be no running away from a round and a half in that fight.
Im a fan of both guys and i think you people talkin shit about chuck liddel are fuckin retards chuck has knocked out every one so many time he losses a few fights an u all hate him you not mma fans at all
Why was Evans pinching his nipples pre-fight?
Wow, Chuck did not look good at all. How many fights does he have left in his contract?
CHUCK GOT knocked the FUCK OUT!
Rashad is such a good dude. he stood there waiting to see if chuck was ok. BUT damn who the hell woulda known that CHUCK got layed out so badly. look like chuck was gonna die and shit. ahhaa damn..dont underestimate people. Rashad good shit! he’s gonna be one guy to look out for.
Screw everyone who said Rashad was gonna get KTFO because it didnt happen. Chauck should just call it quits soon. He’s getting too old.
DAMN! i hate to see a homie go down like that, foo needs to find a desk job
sorry rampage never lost that match, white judges made a call on it, no one can beat rampae fair & square. Rampage was never knocked out, if your gonna beat the champ, do it like a champ..
The only white hope you got is GSP.. Rashad, rampage , Anderson silva dominate the sport..
I see it as the time of the rise of the black man everywhere, don’t feel bad, cause you had your time to shine all these generations, it’s gonna burn you up to see a black man run the usa, the white man biden under us for the first time in history..
ladell is done, matt hughes is done, all the rest are going down.. blacks & brazilians own the sport.. not making a race issue, just making an observasion.. OBAMA 2008
Knockout of the year.
White says Evans will fight Griffon after this fight.
People are still talking crap about Rashad. ZOMG Iceman is washed up blah blah blah. Iceman started taking training seriously again and beat Wandy. Why are people trying to take this victory away from Rashad?
notice in both fights (rampage & evans) that they made chuck come to them. this screws chuck up because he’s a counter stricker. he does rely on one aspect of the game too much. wandy he used leg kicks and take downs. i also think chuck didn’t respect rashad’s power, hands down head out.
he’s got more fights left in him and all the fair weather fans talk of retirement is because their boy crush lost. the guy has to want it though and quit being so hollywood! last 4 fights he lost three that blows.
wandy vs. evans please
Its plain simple, Lidell is an overrated striker… yeah he sustained 4 title defenses, but he was always fighting people who didnt know how to throw a punch(Couture, Ortiz, Sobral). That said, his takedown defense is superb, and that is really important in the UFC, where the rules seem to be made to favor wrestlers, you can go for the takedown as many times as you want, if you fail with the takedown, all you have to do is place one of your knees on the mat, and you´re safe.
On the other hand, Evans striking is so under rated. From TUF 2 you could tell the guy had serious boxing skills, and well, he just proved that to the world!!
chuck needs to be gone and make way for new more impressive fighters. dana cant keep a old dog around for publicity. look what happend to him and for people who think chuck is not the same anymore? OF COURSE HE ISNT! back when he fought tito he was in his prime when the wandereili fight both of those guys are old dogs. legends but old like randy hes going to get worked by brocks power nomatter how skilled you are
Chuck like CroCop got a taste of his own medicine. But anyways now I hear all this talk about “does Evans deserve a title shot” this is why Pride was the best organization, the way they’d handle this is they would put up a 16 man tournament with all the best 205lbs’ers. But too bad in the ufc we’ll never see tourneys of that magnitude, their too concerned with their reality shows & the prolonged trash talk build up before fights.
When you get older speed and precision start to go. A little speed and a little precision are why Chuck ended up on the floor instead of Rashad.
Stars like Chuck are part of the reason up and coming fighters like Rashad can make a living in this sport. Instead of talking about retiring the old guy Rashad should have said what an honor it will be to fight someone like Chuck.
If assholes like Evans are the future of the sport then I’m out.
YESSS chuck gets KTFO
Maybe now chuck will learn to put his F*CKING HANDS UP!!!!!!!!!
wow this guy is the real deal he is our next ufc champion no way can anybody take him out at 205 no one is on his leval not wanderli or machida
Looks like Chuck could have used a few leg kicks in there to keep things a bit mixed up..his big mistake was dropping his blocking hand….left when he threw the right upper…but Evans show a great drive and good balance…his power speaks for itself!!!
Yes, if Chuck wants to keep fighting he’ll have to come up with a new game plan.I mean if you have natural knock out power in both hands,why not work on your take downs and ground game just to MIX it up a little and keep your opponent guessing. I’m just a fan and I know hindsight is 20-20 but I said, the most probable way Chuck would lose to Rashad would be coming straight in with no head movement. Chuck has a good chin not a great one. Hats off to Rashad, he executed his fight pretty much perfect.
Really?!!! Since when was MMA Black vs White? Obama power ect?!! What about just a good fight? If everyone wants MMA to be taken legitmatly by the mainstream public that shit has to stop. What we need to be concerned about is the WWEish show boating after victory.
1)Tito lost my respect with the grave digging
2)Lesnar will never have it after his last fight riding his opponent like a pony.
3) Evans little dance lastnight, though he spoke with respect post fight interview
it is one thing to celebrate by riasing your arms, and jumping on the cage but these instances were just to hummilate the opponent. I think the fact that Chuck was made into a greasy spot on the canvas was humiliating enough.
Show boating to excess should come with a monitary fine.
Shawn M.
I’ve been a MMA fan since ‘92. This sport has no favorites, its any mans fight, unless the judges have a say. I respect ANY fighter who wins. Chuck is one of the UFCs’ poster boys & he got KTFO!!by a younger fighter….He’s still around ‘cuz he sells tickets…..period
im real glad evans won,but still feel a bit bad for liddel.DAMN…liddel definitely needs to mix things up.liddels style is being exposed and at the same time fighters are beginning to respect his stand up less and less with each loss.especially in the ways he’s losing…again,glad evans won but didnt like how he celebrated it….machida vs evans for title shot.
im really not an evans fan but….damn, he knocked chuck the f** out and he looked pretty impressive. im a big liddell fan so im hoping he’ll come back.
lol someone said thiago alves is gonna rock evans. thats funny. but that fight was pretty disappointing. even though that was a highly likly punch to knock evans out if he missed – an uppercut to the chin .. but too slow.. im pretty sure in the near future ull see evans fighting rampage.
Good one graciefan. Tito must be feeling good about going the distance with Rashad. Forrest will be next to get his ass handed to him. He doesn’t deserve the belt and his jokes are lame as sh*t. Did you guys notice how quiet the crowd got when the camera switched from Rampage to Forrest. Can’t wait to see Forrest face down on the mat. Rashad new CHAMP!!

didn’t you just make it a racist issue by saying white judges called the match? so when any black man wins, like of say rashad vs bisping, then those were black judges? oh wait, you won’t say that because you’re black and rashad won, but oh wait…those judges were white too. lol. fucking morons should not be allowed to have such warped, racist, half thought opinions.
hasn’t rashad lost to white guys fair and square? ooooh yeah. you say liddell and hughes…they are past their prime, but there are surely others you neglect to mention you racist fuck. go spread your obama shit elsewhere because this is MMA.
Retire chuck
Wow!!!! that looked painful, I hope Chuck is alright. Congrats to Rashad, boring fight but the knockout was priceless.
Lets all give Herb Dean credit for saving Chuck in a split second. It would have been ugly if he didnt act fast and stop Rashad. I still dont like Rashad. Who plays with their nipples before a fight?
very impressive performance by rashad. i think its odd how chuck can look so good against somebody like the axe murderer but in his last 3 losses his opponents made him look like a bitch.
come on chuck keep your hands higher than your elbows and you might block a few
why does everyone keep saying chuck should retire after this fight or is going too, uhh hes on a contract he couldn’t if he wanted too lol…
do your math before you talk
the side poll, Does Rashad Evans Deserve A Title Shot After This Impressive Win?.. if forrest deserves it. rashad deserves it too
rashad was def. channeling keith jardine with his stance…
What’s up with Rashad giving himself a purple nurple before the fight started?
definitely got knocked the F out that’s for sure. besides that fight sucked. i give to Rashad, he won. won’t last long. god i’m getting tired of UFC though
Damn, I knew Rashad was going to win. Chuck at 38 just seems over the hill to compete with a beast like Rashad who is in his prime.
SHAWN M.
I am pretty sure Lesnar was riding a bull not a pony.
Rashad aint no joke man, Rashad deserves that teetul. Chuck shoulda been hip to what Rashad was lookin for in round 1 the first time Rashad baited him to the cage and Chuck first heard the zing pop and hissssssssssssssss of a point Rashad Evans millimeter round zingin just 2 inches in fronta his face. Cuz come round 2 Rashad had that auto range programmed and zeroed out and o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o E did it find its mark. No disrespect to Chuck though thats what happens when youre that good you keep yer hands low and rely on yer speed and reaction time to read the telegraph. Rashad is just pfff hes there hes ready.
Heet, do yourself a favor and shut up. No one here gives a crap about your views on race domination.
If anyone says they saw that coming, then they are either in Rashad Evan’s camp or lying to you. I figured his best shot was going the distance and getting a split decision after how little he did in Round 1, and then he just up and knocks Chuck the fuck out. He doesn’t deserve a title shot yet since Chuck isn’t the invincible Chuck of old, but Rashad vs. Machida and then the winner against Rampage would be a good set up for the next LH challenger.
An afterthought: How good will Rashad feel when we find out Chuck got twice as much money as he did just to get knocked out?
You chuck fans have to be kidding. Why would anyone think he would win this fight? He’s done. His style is exposed an ineffective. He never was that great. End of the road for Lidell, unless you want to watch him fight some nobodies and get his @$$ kicked.
what you saw was the foundation of mma BOXING!!
if you think you can make it in the mma without a solid boxing or kickboxing back ground you’re crazy! all the best fighters can do it on and hand to hand silva, rampage, fedor, uria, and gsp.

NOW LIDDELL IN PAST HIS PRIME?
Were his nuts getting salty?.. is that how you realized he’s past his prime?…
NO FUCKING EXCUSES.. he got KTFO… NO IFS OR BUTS!!!
KTFO…. so stop making excuses.
KTFO
I have to say though, The majority of poster here are pretty fair, not as biased as some other sites.
And I really like reading most posts here, some are way out of hand, like white vs black but for the most part guys here are pretty knowledgeable.

I never took Ebonics, so please try to type in proper English
Much love for Liddell, but it’s time to call it a career. Not many fighters can fight at his age and he was flat-footed the entire fight. If you can’t be lighter on your feet than that, in ANY weight class, you’ve got to stop and re-evaluate where things are going.
The next few days are going to be a personal hell for him, but he was beat solidly. Overhand right on the button, lights out for Liddell.
Evans deserves a shot at Griffin, if not for his next fight (presuming he wins), the one after.
heet. Yo’re a moron to bring race into the issue. If you want to talk smack, you better praise Fedor as the best mma fighter ever. Oh, and by the way, Obama’s mother is white, let’s call him white.
honestly its hard to watch that, watching chuck become what he is now is sad to me. he used to be one of the baddest mother fuckers ever, now hes getting older and phased out. gunna miss you chuck
well now forrest gets to beat that niggers ass. ha should be fun to watch. just like in the old days
KABOING!
Ae hein brasuca, a imagem tá boa! Valeu bruno!
Chuck got hit so hard He’ll probably spell like most of you for the rest of his life!
Just Kidding guys!
oh and heet ur a dumb mother fucker. blacks will never run the country it was a fight not a damn election shit. cant wait for forrest to do work. peace…
What is this black on white bullshit.you see when your born in a ghetto ass neighborhood the only thing you could do for fun is fight and shoot people and there are reasons why black fighters win against a white guy because blacks fight with rage towards the white guy that is unbelieveable all this gives an edge to the black guy,black people can’t not get over that slavery shit is over move on black people think they are the only one who went through shit how about the jews,indians, mexicans and more,why don’t black people stop taking there anger on society is not our fault you guys look like monkeys blame god,bunch of f**king criminals ruining society and everything that is good in the world,everytime you put the news on person shot by black guy,beating done by black guy is really disgusting,these ghetto assholes shouldn’t be allow to bring children to this world they rise them just to be like them,i hope obama losing this presidential crap,there will never be peace on earth on less we do something about this shit.
gerbil i’m calling you on “i knew rashad would win.” i read even before the fight that you had chuck. it’s cool though i’ve grown to be amused with your comments. it took over a year, but i’m amused.
Liddell has been holding his left guard too low for the last year. Maybe he has a reason, but he felt it then.
Scared? Lucky? How about Evans fought the perfect fight. Get your flow going. Get the nerves out the way and unload on Chuck. I guess the hooks and right crosses and jabs were lucky punches too. You people need to stop whining so damn much.
Was it a lucky punch when Chuck was fighting backwards and caught Couture and Babalu?
i have never liked chuck and i loved watching this bad ass knock out. and if we wanna talk about age look at randy he is about to fight the moast physicaly scary human in the ufc and its at evin odds. chuck could still be a great fighter if he choose to grow and evolve. look at how he faught this fight and tell me dose he really look likt the top tear of mixed martal arts? he looks like a one trick poney trying to catch an easy knock out. he has the skills experiance and backround to be a real thret for annouther 5 years he just has to mix his game and not have the same game plan every fucking fight
lmao, he don’t look white to anyone, black wannabe..obama the dominator..
Mandingo domination, we dominate the white man..I feel your pain..
Fedor? pff, no americans, so u run for a russian lmao..typical whitey.. Send his a$$ to brazil, lets see what fedor can do..nada..nuff said..
I am trying to figure out how Evans “looked good”? Dude lost all but 1 second of the fight. He only “looked good” for a moment. The rest of the time he “ran like a bitch”.
Chuck has to either change his ways or retire.
damn, i did not see that coming.
I was watching Chuck stalking Rashad and though to myself “what a chicken, the dude is just running away”. Then i saw Chuck corner him and prepare for the kill, and bam… wtf happened? Chuck is on the flore face down. Holy shit.
I’m a Chuck Lidell fan. He have to learn to protect his head otherwise he will get knocked out over and over again. His low guard style is no longer difficult to beat. Rashad was only counter punching, why is Chuck having to desperately chase this dude? Not a good idea, let him come for it a bit. Well, I am not a expert but in my point of view this is what Chuck should improve on.
Rashad Evans showed why he is called Sugar. The study of Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Evan Muhhamed Ali and Roy Jones Jr. provide the basis for what style of fighting Rashad Evans used to defeat Chuck Liddle. Elusice movement. Some fight fans may not like it but all fighters do not stand in thering and throw to the fences until somebody knocks somebody out, that not scientific. To hit and not get hit is the game of the superior fighter. This is the same style that the great Bruce Lee adopted when he realized his stiff and stationary wing chun did not work as well in a real fight as the movements of fighters like Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhhamed Ali. Bruce Lee was said to have a library full of tapes of both of those great fighting legends. Mobility, elusiveness, quickness, trickiness is the name of the game. Any body can slug very few can hit and not be hit, to fight like a ghost. Understand what true mastery in martial arts. This is what Matt Hughes did not understand when he dissed Rashed on the ultimate fighter. I bet you he’s eating his words right now.
wat is wrong wit ppl ere,chuck lost.fine.why evryone is @ chuck balls..fighters lost one way or the other..pls give him some respect he deserve it..and 4 some fool tryin 2 make dis black nd white..pls stop 4 god sake…evans won,good win nd lot off respect to him..very good fighter..one day it can happen to him 2..gettin ko..but i love nock outs..is like turning off light..griffin will b feed to evans now..watch out..it will b another ko..i see it coming
What really tells you the level of fight education about many of those making comments is that they said that this was a boring fight. These are the same people who would have said that watching tight ground game boring in the early days of MMA simply because they did not have the fight education to understand what was actually going on. What you saw here was boxing done at its best. A situation of matador vs bull. Circular elusive footwork vs linear footwork. In the days of the samurai most duels ended with one or very few strikes. The majority of real fights between to people of high level mastery consist of more footwork/outflanking your opponent until you achieve the better position to strike instead of throwing wild and random shots until you luckily hit your mark/opponent. In the early days of MMA many people would talk about how boring the fights were because the fighters would stay on the ground and hold positions until one achieved the upper hand and submitted his opponent. People became better educated and now understand the nuances of submission fighting is like watching a chess match. The same holds true for understanding the superior science of boxing and footwork. To hit and not be hit… if you think this is boring its because you do not understand the high science of fighting/boxing and need to be re-educated. The scientific fighter will always be able to dominate the brute.
Chuck needs to change camps already. It’s clear his fight game isn’t going anywhere with his current crew. We will see Chuck again simply because he can still put asses in seats.
I’m now a HUGE fan of whoever fights Evans. His showboating bullshit makes me sick.
fuck rashad evans, he ran the whole fight to throw one lucky punch.. wait till shogun rua’s healthy…. if it were pride, he would have lost his whole purse to yellow cards.. i would have given him props if he stood there and banged, but he ran like a coward.. his time’s coming.. rampage. lyoto machida, thiago silva, shogun rua will all destroy “suga”!!!!!!!
I guess if you feel Evans style of fighting is “showboating bullshit” you must feel the same way about Muhhamed Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard also Miami 72. Diffrent styles make diffrent fights, there is more than one way to skin a cat. To get a better understanding of this type of fighting check out capoeira angola and look up the term malicia and find out what it means.
Chuck has been partying up in Vegas for years now, combine that with the fact that he’s getting old and it’s hard to stay on top. I remember seeing Chuck at club here in Vegas 2 years ago. Chuck was rolling on E for sure. I remember thinking “He wont be the champ for long”. Suprisingly he won a few after he developed his bad habits, finally caught up with him though.
i watched the count down 2 this fight it showed chuck training and u could just see he has lost a lot of is speed and Rashad was going 2knock him out evans is one sharp dude but i hope chuck bounces back soon
i love how people make it a white or black thing like heet does, saying people run for fedor. it’s funny how some people make others suffer for their own insecurities.
kevin check out pride fighting because rampage has lost.
he does have an incredible chin!
You would have thought that Chuck would have learned to circle, backup and counter instead of coming forward from the Couture fights! The only reason black fighters dominate any fight sport after awhile is because only the dumbest white trash can’t find a better way to make alot of money which doesn’t involve having your image exploited in a corrupt industry and being publicly criticized, insulted, second guessed and ridiculed for decisons that were not even your own but programmed into you by trainers like an attack dog. On the other hand only the smartest, most gifted black guys can be taught the simplest of fighting techniques invented by white people like a jab/cross combination. It’s just like those chimps scientists taught sign language to at the zoo. Politics is essentially the same as the fight game in the sense that profits accumulated by way of fraud are made by tricking and dividing the ignorant,gullible masses except it requires a bit more brain power to be trained what to do and say by the people behind the scenes who pull your strings like a puppett so the “black guy” actually has to be half white. George Busch and Obama are perfect examples of what I’m talking about. Btw thanks for posting the fights and taking money out of Dana White’s pocket
paddedummy your so out of pocket and as ignorant as heet. racism is ugly, it does matter what side of the fence it’s on. do you think keith jardine who was in rashad’s corner feels that way? do you think rashad fells that way? no they don’t. it’s guys like this that make me want to stop writting comments all together. this is whatthe new ufc is bringing in, more ignorant uneducated fans. people should not make anything a race issue the only thing that matters is we all bleed red.
i hate you fuck heads talkin shit about great fighters who loose a few times then you say there shit When Fedor looses a fight are you all gonna instantly hate him Chuck lost to the better fighter that night theres no lucky punch Rashad had his number plain an simple
bottom line is Evans the man for a great knock out standing up with the iceman but come on, the fight is boring or should i say Evans is a boring fighter
I greatly enjoyed seeing that. I really am not a fan of chuck lidell as I don’t like his style. But i respect him as it usually works for him(excluding latelst fights). But damn! not this time
Fuck if chuck would keep his god damn hands up and tight to the chin while throwing that upper cut he might have only been tkoed not ktfo
the fighters are getting stronger in there weight cla and learning how to hit faster , that is why you are seeeing more knockouts
Man what’s wrong with you ppl?All this white vs black talk is bullshit.You can see by some of the reactions that they have never been in a fight.Cause those fighters in the UFC aren’t busy with who’s black or white,they just want to win and most of the time they have RESPECT for eachother cause it’s a FIGHT, they aren’t worried about black or white cause their too busy to knock the other guy out and not getting knocked out themselves in the process.
I’m black and i have the utmost respect for Chuck cause he did allot for the sport, shit anybody can get knocked out that’s nothing to be ashamed off.Rashaad excuted his gameplan perfectly and i think allot of ppl won’t be underestimating him next go around.
All in all don’t make this a race issue cause for the fighters it isn’t even a issue.
These Black vs. White activists are COMPLETE IGNORAMUSES!!! You need to go back to or have come from prison life, you lowlifes!! ITS RACISTS LIKE YOU DUMB FUCKS WHO ARE RUINING SOCIETY!!! GET A FRICKIN’ LIFE & GET OFF OF THIS SITE WITH THAT BULLSHIT!!!!
P.S
LEARN HOW TO FRICKIN’ SPELL!!! HOLY SMOKES!!!!
Liddell is the new Matt Hughes, Rich Franklin, Tito Ortiz, insert has-been name here.
did you see dana and lorenso fertita sad and disapointed .. the iceman looks like he got a tape worm on the stomach lol
First….dont listen to this Black vs white bull. This is just a way to get people pissed off. Chuck was good but i knew his time was up. They kept saying….hooks, hooks he keeps getting caught by hooks. Good job by Rashad Evans ….deserves title shot….no…should fight runner up to title shot….yes
Are you an idiot heet??? “blacks and brazillians”
That doesn’t even make sense, you just sound like a 14 year old douche bag white kid from the burbs.
Black isn’t a race, it’s a color.. Some brazillians are black, some africans are black, some americans are black…
I agree with B Kenny, Yes it is important to win, but you heard of it head high stand tall<~~ Running AWAY has never been part of a true champ, this is bad example of true champ, if one is to set his goal to be one.
“I agree with B Kenny, Yes it is important to win, but you heard of it head high stand tall<~~ Running AWAY has never been part of a true champ, this is bad example of true champ, if one is to set his goal to be one.”
So you’re saying Muhhamed Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson and those types of fighters are bad champs? Standing there and throwing bombs until somebody falls is just plain DUMB! Evasion and subertfuge is a scientific tactic. Brains over brawn everytime! You have generally two types of fighters in the fight world. Those who like to trade blows and those who like to avoid blows. Avoiding blows does not make you a coward or boring, it actually makes you smarter. Who in the history of boxing has ever put on a better show than Muhhamed Ali, Leonard, Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather. Never fight another mans game. Draw him into your and capitalize off of his mistake. Ring tactics are the same as field tactics. The speciala forces and the ancient ninjas used subterfuge and evasion. Study “The Art Of War’.
that was the biggest shame ever. i bet rashad cant do it twice. total luck. the whole fight all rashad did was run and flail his arms wildly.. half the time not even looking or aiming.. just flailing his arms like a headless chicken. guarentee chuck would knock him the fuck out.. possibly even first round if they get a rematch.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE RASHAD EVANS TO MOHAMMED ALI, OR RAY ROBINSON, OR RAY LEANORD EVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OWN3D
The big money is bringing the real talent out of the woodwork. The time of one dimensional fighters is over. Silvia, Hughs, Liddell over.
Now real talent is coming in, Rashad, Silva, Jackson, the Canuch.
Chuck moved in a bit to fast. I believe he got tired of chasing Evans. He has always come back to win the second time. He will win again.
Chuck will be back, the money is just getting good and I’ll bet his monthly expenses are at a level that require constant feeding.
Great fight! Congratulations, Rashad! Chuck will be back.
There was nothing lucky about that punch. Rashad used fundamental boxing skills in moving around, even when he punched.
You can even see where Chuck miscalculated his position (the uppercut landed in Rashad’s armpit).
I also think it’s funny that people say “if he wasn’t faster blah blah”. That’s part of the game. Sounds like a personal problem for Chuck doesn’t it? Train harder.
“brian kenny Says, in 9-9-2008 at 17:09:54 from 76.111.142.181 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE RASHAD EVANS TO MOHAMMED ALI, OR RAY ROBINSON, OR RAY LEANORD EVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The comparisons are in the style of fighting and ring tactics note the actual men. Lets not avoid the facts of the situation. Chuck Liddel was a great champion and is still a great fighter and legend in the sport. Rashad Evans is in my opinion the prototype of the type of fighters that will dominating the sport in th euears to come, SMARTER!!!!!!!!
I agree with Kaotika. Rashad was precise and quick. Whoever thinks that this fight was rigged is retarded. The sport of mixed martial arts has evolved, and it has left Tito and Chuck behind.
Let’s get Randy back in there against Chucky Boy.
Chuck had his day in the sun. Time’s up… go enjoy some of that money!
Chuck just got tired of chasing people around the ring. Evans would throw a punch and duck his head. Even luck might land a punch once in awhile. Chuck has always come back and beat the fighters that knocked him down. He will do it again. Enjoy your moment in the sun Evans. You’ll see stars next time.
the nipple tweak…. nuff said.
No matter what anyone says chuck will always be a legend. Hes not gonna retire whoever said that is a dumbass. but still props to rashad hes a good fighter and yeah chuck will fight him again and will win.
I always hated chuck. I thought Reshad was professional and slick. I watched Reshad’s fights before this fight. He is actually an A fighter. I loved it so much when chuck got knocked the fuck out. It was magic. Classic knock out. Beautiful. Speechless.
ahh dang chuck feel bad for him but hey.. everyone has a down fall to a win streak. He was champ for a while and then bam, got his a@# beat one after another. Not his fault all champs become outdated at some point. At one point the new breed of fighter will apear and kick your A#*. Its true every champ has a downfall torwards the end. BUT HE HES RICH AND WE AIN’T!!!
Wow……Chuck is going the same way as Tito went years ago.
He is Chuck Shamrock or Ken Liddell.
crazy knock out. maybe one of 2008’s best
this dude Chuck Liddel dont have the ground game, so he can’t compete in the cage… he was lucky to win back to the old day cuz weren’t many good fighters back then
saw that shit coming, fuck chuck lidell.
when i saw that shit I shit
This goes to show, all it takes is one hit. Luck or skill, doesn’t matter. I don’t give a fuck who you are, one perfectly placed hit and down you go. Nobody’s invinsible, it could have been anybodys fight. They’re both good fighters, I just hate cocky ass people. Fuck Rashad Evans.
Listen guys, if you watch this fight carefully. Evans is clearly scared, his “showboating” isnt showboating at all, if you watch the punchs he throws, his bouncing, and his unwillingness to clinch or exchange, shows he is scared. I’ve seen many fighters like this. And yeah, I hate rashad evans because he is a cocky piece of shit. he deserves to get knocked the fuck out and never fight again.
‘UfcFixesFightsWWESTYLE’ you’re an idiot, how was that fixed??? rashad knocked him the fuck out, period.
Im a chuck fan but that was a devastating punch.
Please quit saying it was luck!!!! rashad was pepared for this fight. and i think chuck was not.i think chuck is an awsome fighter. but he clearly did not prepare for this fight as he should of. also i think he spends too much time doing promos for the UFC AND NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE GYM.i also hate to read all you fans not giving rashad credit!!! don’t be haters he won plain and simple.yes i think chuck will fight better next time . but i think his best days are numbered. i predict the same outcome. maybe not a knockout but decision. oohhh and it’s leonard not leanord!!!!
Even though I cant stand “Sugar” Rashad he did knock his ass out! Rashad just get’s on my fucking nerves wit his arrogance & his annoying chicken head wife! It pissed me off that chuck started chasing him just as much as it annoyed me to see rashad hopping around trying to be like ali or something. Chuck just made rashad look better than he actually is. He lost to Bisping & he lost to tito.
That was a lucky strike and you cant deny it. Evans wasnt even looking where the punch was going, it was some wild roundhouse and he was looking at the ground to his left. I cant wait to see rampage corner this ring runner and pound him into the mat. i am sick of seeing his opponents have to expend all their energy chasing his around the octagon and him pulling out some lucky punch or opportunistic strike then dance around like he is some MMA god.
Lucky punch?
Rashad has bee nailing him all night with a “lucky” punch.
The only lucky one was Ice biach, luch his girlfriend Herb dean rushed to his rescue like a punk.
Rashad should have leg dropped him after that, Hogan style.
