    He actually said "Freaking", and not the actual word? If so, there is hope for this guy yet! Perhaps one day he could make UFC, and MMA as a whole look like something different from WWE.
    I love MMA, but not Dana, or how he makes the sport look, but maybe there's hope for this guy.

    Its because Rashad promised he would fight Rampage/make it a fight, not a wrestling match.

    Rashad has fallen out of grace with Dana. In one hand Rashad praised Pac, and talked about how much game, and braveness he has. Then he goes and talks **** about Rampage, says he's going to finish him, that he has something for him etc.. We know what Rashad did.. Rashad won a match, and didn't take part in a fight. He certainly didn't kick anyone's ass, he pressed a man up against a cage and pulled his legs from under him a few times to win some rounds. Rashad can kick ass, he kicked Liddell's ass, but he never really fought Rampage, there is a difference, and maybe dumb ass Dana White is finally understanding the difference.

    This is Dana's fault one way or another. He is the one cutting guys, making them feel they need to do everything and anything in their power to win. These are the rules, rounds, and fight setups that Dana agreed to. Instead of trying to get what the ideal is from the start (MMA fights where fighters try to finish one another), he went ahead with what was proposed.

    I didnt mind this fight not being made again, it would likely be the same , Rashad running and throwing a punch before a TD attempt, can't blame him , trading hands with Rampage isn't always the best idea.

    rashad cant compete with elite fighters because hes a low grade average TUF product.

    and rampage just isnt prime anymore.

    these guys used to fight for pride now they fight for dana

    I actually agree with Dana for once. Evans snoozes constantly

    Me not ordering the first fight was one of the smartest things I've ever done. I knew it was either gonna be a 1 minute blow-out by Rampage or Rashad wrestling his way to a decision. Ok, enough of me tooting my own horn...Dana is right.

    I really dont know how Dana White gets away with saying these things , i mean here you have a guy in Rashad Evans , who is one of the top 205 lb'ers in the world , has a mixed skill set , excellent wrestler and boxer , and White is having another cheap crack at him !!!!

    It reminds of the time when he was stood on the podium next to Anderson Silva in a post fight presser basically saying that he is considering putting him on the pre lims , he is a ****in joke !!! , the guy is a joke , this is the same guy who backed Brock Lesnar to be the next big thing and got the UFC PR machine right behind him until Cain smashed his ass .

    Everybody could see that Evans came with a game plan , to out wrestle Rampage and get the decision , that was his game plan , that was his and his coaches choice , Dana has to respect that !!! additionally it was one of the worst conditioned Rampage's we have ever seen compete , and he nearly knocked Rashad out !! , so this for me is a great re match , lets put it this way , IT BEATS THE **** OUT OF RAMPAGE HAMILL !!! , i think this is probably one of the more sought after re matches in the UFC right now TBH !!! ............

    Dana " **** " White

    Liddell TKO 2

    Griffin TKO 3

    Rampage - Hurt him badly in the 1st , and Rashad was hurt himself late on

    Thiago Silva - At times being man handled by Rashad , again a back and forth contest , resulting in Evans hanging on for dear life

    His fight with Machida was hardly a snooze fest either

    Rashad Evans is not a boring fighter

    Liddel- Evans was back tracking,feinting and refusing to engage. The crowd were booing, loudly. I remember thinking 'What is this ****?' Was made an exciting fight by the fact Chuck, due to the crowd, lost his composure dropped his hands and tried to make it a fight. Chuck came to fight. Evans didnt

    Griffin. Now this was an excitying fight for me, because Forrest was schooling Evans, badly. Rashad was backtracking, feinting and refusing to engage. Forrest was using long kicks, punches and his strong clinch game to catch Evans on the backfoot. FG's chin made t look like Evans is exciting tbh, otherwise he didnt do **** except grab his crotch in that fight. Forrest came to fight, Evans didnt.

    Thiago - by manhandling someone you mean pushing them up against the cage until the ref breaks them, then you are correct. Otherwise Evans was backtracking feinting and refusing to engage. Thiago came to fight and nearly finished Evans, Rashad didnt

    Machida. Rashad was feinting, backtracking and refusing to engage, Machida knocked him the **** out. Simple.

    I dont see how you can claim Evans is exciting tbh. Evans seems to get caught in exciting fights by accident, when his usual gameplan doesnt work. Well thats my opinion on him anyway
