I picked Evans because I did not think there was any chance Greg Jackson would have his fighter standing up for long...I expected Rashad to get this one on the mat. As soon as I saw the plan, I knew I was in trouble.

I've watched four (maybe five) of Machida's fights, and I haven't seen anyone hit him square yet. I was hoping Rashad would get lucky and tag him, but that did not happen. :lol:

I didn't think Evans would be able to get him to the ground. Tito outwrestled Evans and Tito couldn't get Machida to the ground. The thing about Machida is he has that Shotokan karate background that is all about staying out of your opponents range which is why it is tough to even get a good shot on him.
