When Rashad Evans, “Suga” won the heavy weight title, in the television series on Spike, The Ultimate Fighter 2, a lot of people were shocked.
The only people shocked now are Forrest Griffin, Chuck Liddell, Michael Bisping, Sean Salmon, Jason Lambert, Stephan Bonnar, Sam Hoger, and Brad Imes. Tito Ortiz, was the only one not to loose, it was a draw in that fight.
Suga, has knocked out, fan favorite Chuck Liddell, and Salmon and Lambert
.
This winner born in Niagara Falls New York, and now fighting out of the unlikely place of Albuquerque, New Mexico is 29 years old, weighs 209lbs, small for a heavy weight, but he uses is college wrestling skill to take down opponents and has great defense from there.
Rashad, an All-American Wrestler and Junior College National Champion for Niagara Community College as shown he's got some power behind his punch, with his 3 knockouts. Which makes him even more dangerous. His style will put you and his opponents to sleep, that’s his secret, he is sneaky, very sneaky.
Rashad had better be at the top of his sneakiness when he fights Lyoto Machida from Belem, Brazil. The Dragon is an expert in Karate at 6’1” and weighing in at 205lbs, at the age of 30.
One monster kick to the head and boom boom out goes the lights! He has been a terror with a 14-0 record now going up against Rashad Evens Record of 32-0-1 and could be the one to blemish the Suga record after the MGM Main Event MMA fight.
He has knocked out Thiago Silva, won in a unanimous decision against fading Tito Ortiz, choked out Rameau Sokoudjou, and in unanimous decisions, won over Kazuhiro Nakamura, David Heath, and Sam Hoger.
He is a two time Brazilian Champion in Karate and took second in the South American Championship. He holds a black belt in Shotakan karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He does not have an MMA title, yet.
The under card features a grudge match with Matt Hughes taking on Matt Serra. These two were foe captains in the Ultimate Fighter series and showed two totally different leadership approaches. This fight could be quick or go the distance, both fighters really want this one.
