Fudge all you haters!
Young talent who is only getting BETTER with every fight. Showing more skills in his games every time out.
I respect all those who have been man enough to give him his due. You still don't have to like Rashad. That's your choice.
But for the haters out there still adding your salt to da game...get the gas-face!
It's not hard to expect what you'll get outta Rashad, if you want to see that he is a fighter in development and not a finished product mailing in the check.
Keep the credits and hatin rolling in. His fans will always root and stick up for him and others will continue to hate on him...no matter who he beats and how soon he beats them.

The guys I watch PPV's with are all BJJ guys who still train and they were screaming for him to try a choke. He has never even tried a submission. I think if he gets one impressive sub win, he will win most critics over. Rashad finally learned that half guard is a better advantage than willingly going into an opponent's guard. He also learned that fans want to see a gnp knockout instead of a lnp win. I think Cruz touched on it, he is progressing right on schedule for a good D-I wrestler.

My one and only complaint about Evans in the past was that he was boring. He had wrestling skills, striking skills, etc...but he was boring to watch.
I did not order the PPV last night, so I have no first hand knowledge of how enjoyable the fight was to watch. Was it fun to watch?

I have been to about a half dozen PPV's at my buddy's place and each time the same bunch is there. This PPV had the most excitement of any of them. To be fair, they are all BJJ guys and are not particularly fond of Hughes. Yep, it was fun to watch. Rashad v. Lambert, although not even close to being a classic, was fun to watch also. Even though I did not have to pony up, I would have felt that I got my 40 bucks worth.

It was nice to hear that he's training with Jardine and Diego, everyone agreed he needed a better team, looks like he got it.
