I'm giving nog little to no chance on beating Evans. I don't see many LHW having much of a chance against Evans wrestling to be truthful. He did out wrestle Davis who supposedly had better wrestling than him

 

I can actually see Evans beating Machida in a rematch, since in the first fight he did not tried to use his wrestling on him.

 

Against Jones, i don't ever see him beating him unless he get's in a lucky punch.

You really don't think shad has a chance against bones?

I think he would have had much better success the first time if he would have tried to wrestle with mr jones

I actually think rashad is one of just a couple guys who can beat Jon jones with more then a punchers chance

Rashad gets rocked (or flat out KTFO), every time he faces a striker.

 

If Nog can stuff a couple of his TD's he can definitely hurt him with his boxing, although it's almost impossible for Nog to even hit Rashad beacuse of the speed difference, I'm not counting out Lil' Nog yet.

You do realize rashad has only been knocked out once, right?

But he does get rocked quite often, but his ability to recover seems to have improved, wouldn't you say?

I got rashad winning this by UD

Rashad went the distance with Jones, the others failed. Just like the JDS fanboys saying Cain was gonna get KTFO again in rematch....look what happens. Evans will make it difficult for machida but it can still go either way. Evans speed and wrestling will frustrate Nog. I got Evans winning all his fights except against JBJ.

Rashad only went the decision because he played defence for 5 rounds. He should have no pride in going 5 rounds the way he fought.

Lol. Look at the title. Suga contradicts himself.

 

Why? Saying you want something doesn't mean you aren't focusing on something else.

 

 

I agree in a way. You can still have future goals and be focused on your current fight. I'm sure most fighters have goals of beating the guys ahead of the current fighter they're fighting. He is looking past Nog but he should be, he believes he's one of the best in the division, so I don't see anything wrong with that confidence.

LOL. The others failed at what - at "going to distance"? That's not the purpose of fighting. Going to distance to lose a 44-50 decision is nothing to be glad of.

 

Machida was the only one that had Jones in actual trouble and he was the only one who won a round against Jones.

There was nothing in Evans' performance that could show potential to beat Jones. And he didn't not wrestle him because he chose not to - it was Jones who didn't let him!

 

Evans had 4 TD attempts and failed at all of them. Success rate - 0%

Jones had 2 TD attempts and was successful once. Success rate - 50%

rashads got this, Lil Nog didn't do too well against Ryan Bader or Phil Davis.

And seeing Rashad is a high caliber wrestler like these two and has better striking/speed than them, he should win this via UD or possible tko.
