Evans got robbed. Should he retire?

najma · February 3

It should've been a draw. The fight had no winner. There was no damage to any of the fighters, and there were no real highlights to any of them.
Although it could also be called a No Contest for all I care.

I think Evans is done.

I gave it to nog. I think Evans goes to 185

No draw in that scoring system.
Not unless you're giving either man a 10-8 round?

Lil Nog outstruck him in the 2nd and 3rd the 1st was anyone's. Rashad couldn't even get him down and the one time he did Nog just shook him off like nothing.. look at it this way Rashad was in most peoples opinions not only the best wrestler at LHW but top 3 in the division, Nog was barely given a chance in this one but kept pressing forward so had control, more strikes landed and whilst he completely neutralized the wrestling game of Evans.

Rashad lost no way anyone scored that fight a draw and Nog deserves some credit I think.

No way,Rashad 100% deserved that loss,he fought like a guy with an IQ of 25.
I knew before that fight even began ,EXACTLY what Rashad would do.
He fights every single fight the exact same way and it is crap.He comes out and throws a million meaningless AIR strikes,he bobs and weaves and accomplishes nothing with it;.He needs to quit wasting energy and have a purpose plan to things he does in the ring.Rogan called it playing patty cake,i call it wasted air striking.

Rashad should have come out and wrestle Nog right away,no screwing around.Run the older fighter into the ground,continually toos him down and wear him out with some gnp.

Agreed, zaksame.
Rashad should go to Sonnen for strategic preparation. Sonnen knows what he's good at and capitalizes on it to the maximum.

Yeah, man... Rashad looked like crap imo, if this is the way he wanted to start his next title run... Maybe it's because Overeem got blasted also, I don't know, or maybe he just doesn't have it in him anymore.

Jones broke him imo.

The Rashad that beat Phil Davis would beat anybody else in the division except Jones.

No one got robbed, well aside from the fans anyway.

I,m happy for little Nog that's a huge win for him, sure the fight didn't have too much drama ,but he stuck to his gameplan and beat a top 5 LHW. A former champ.It was a big upset, but that happens in MMA

Ring rust, it's a fact, if you don't train and fight for years, you gonna suck. No other way around it.

Evans LOST this ... i think he needs to drop weight or do something cause he doesnt seem to have the same drive as ive seen in the past ... it looks like hes ready to retire.

He just needs to fight more often.

He wasn't gone for years though...Like Dana said I think he has lost his drive.

ThePack19 · February 4

I also think he has lost his will. Kinda going down the same road as rampage....eventually he will be like whatever, just here to collect. I am an Evans fan and I wanted to climb into the ring and tell him to GTFO!

evans got robbed a long time ago....when greg jackson stole his balls

Coreyflipp · February 4

Evans had motivation, his physique proves this. The problem is he is cocky.and arrogant enough to think he can do whatever he wants to do and win fights.

PunchBag · February 4

evans cheated himself, he looked terrible
