i still dont see what fight your watching, rashad didnt own jardine for 3 rounds, bab would end rashads streak, rashad is way to sloppy on the ground he would get caught fast, and i hope it does happen so i can laugh when rashad looses, yes rashad will be a great fighter down the road but right now i dont see anything great besides his wrestling

Vera/Sylvia will likely happen at 68, if they don't want to have Vera/Arlovski first.
| Ha Ha..they offered Monson a fight with both Vera and Arlovski so he could prepare for a rematch with Tim...and he asked them for his release so he could go fight Fedor ( so he could fight a real fighter and get paid real well)...and he got it.
That must have shook Dana up a bit...way to go Jeff!
Hell...even if he gets his ass totally kicked...it was probably worth it for him just to see the look on Dana's face.

Rashad isn't that impressive. His takedowns are good but you can't earn respect by winning fights largely due to scoring takedowns and then utilizing the lay and pray. His last fight is the only one he's finished and the only one besides the Imes fight that looked exciting. And did you notice how tired Rashad was after the Imes fight? If that fight had gone an extra round Imes would have won. As far as Rashad being a threat to Chuck, Rashad is not nearly as good a wrestler as Randy Couture and if Randy couldn't keep Chuck down in that last fight, there's no way Rashad will. Rashad vs Babalu would be a good fight, it would end up on the ground and the outcome would be decided by whether Rashad could avoid getting submitted by Babalu and score enough points with his GnP. I see that fight right now as a toss-up, I haven't seen Rashad challenged by a guy the caliber of Babalu so I have no idea how well he would actually do. He suprised me by actually finishing his last fight so I'm not writing him off against Babalu just yet but if I had to give a slight edge to someone it would be Babalu.

Both TUF championship fights should be on the same card, don't see a reason to blow 40 bucks on these fights, although I do feel Travis has a better chance then Matt.

Serra has no chance against GSP. IMO he had a better chance against Hughes.

Rashad finished his first 3 fights before the UFC, sub, strikes and TKO.
The reason he was gasses in the fight with Imes was because Imes was 265 lbs and Rashas was 225 and if you looked at Rashad durign the TUF season, he used to gass. Since he has dropped to LHW and joined Jackson's Submission Fighting, his cardio has been phenomenal, same thing with Diego, they have both completely transformed both physically and in their cardio.
I agree with Rashad vs Babalu, he is a wizard on the ground and would likely catch Rashad at some point, it would ust take a LOT longer than anyone here gives him credit for and Rashad would mount lots of offense as well.
