How GOOD was Rashad Evans Actually?
Rashad Evans had everything it took to be the greatest. The NCAA Division 1 wrestler found success early in MMA with his grappling expertise and that only propelled to greater heights once he developed his striking and began to finish fights in brutal fashion. Match this with his speed, strength and athleticism and it came to no shock that he was going to capture UFC gold. But he didn't hold the belt for very long and ended his career on a rough note. So how good was Rashad Evans actually?

    Rashad Evans could have been one of the greatest ever but 2 things took away his career. 1. Injuries (ACL injuries) 2. Age 3. Bonus*

    I love how positive you are. In general with everyone, you simply focus on the good. Its refreshing.

    The era of Rashad Evans, Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin, Lyoto Machida and GSP will always be my favorite.

    I'll be honest. That era the UFC was just stacked with talent. There were so many great fighters.

    Can we have one on Diego sanchez, he's been in the game for so long all the way back to TUF 1. Sadly he's aging and people will never see the real Diego again

    Rashad survived 5 Rounds with a young Jon Jones. He even got mounted at one point and took hardly any damage. He really should have been a MW. I remember wanting him to go down to MW to challenge Anderson Silva....ah the good ol' days

    YES! Finally, THANK YOU! I've been waiting for this. Rashad is one of my favorite fighters. One of the best in his prime.

    To win the light heavyweight belt back then meant you was a beast. It was probably the most heavily stacked division ever
