yeah, i knew this for a long time. Rashad Evans always does enough to win his fights. I remember i read the Sherdog predictons for his fight against Chuck Liddell. About 20 guys picked Chuck to win and only 2 or 3 picked Rashad to win. I knew Rashad was going to win. He'll beat Forrest Griffen to win the UFC Lightheavyweight title easily.
I think Rashad Evans beating Nogueira and even Fedor is realistic now

Fedor would destroy Evans.

no, but Rashad Evans has a good chance of beating him if they fought. Evans fought at Heavyweight during THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER season 2, so he can move back up to heavyweight and he'd still win
Maybe he'd do well there, solely because of the dearth of good big guys in the UFC. But he'd be a much better fighter at light heavy, because he's naturally not big enough to be a legit heavyweight. I know people will probably disagree with me after he's coming off that big KO win against Liddell, but Rashad Evans isn't a particularly powerful puncher.
Rashad is a solid fighter no matter how showboaty and boring he is to watch, and I expect him to get the belt from Forrest. His title reign gets drastically cut short though, once Machida is given the opportunity to a title shot, thus ending all the madness at 205. That's right Mike. Not Silva, nor Shogun will stabilize the division. Machida will.
I just hope to god Bisping doesn't get first dibs at Rashad.. I would be terribly disappointed if he did.

My boy told me Dana has just about wrapped up a deal to have ol' Fedorino fightin' under the UFC banner . . . at least once.
LMAO at Rashad beating Fedor.
But I predict Rashad to beat Forrest an win the LHW title.

i don't think there will be a fighter who will stabilize the 205 pound weight division, at least not in a long time. Before, when Chuck had that UFC Lightheavyweight title and defending it and knocking out all his challengers, I thought he'd have the belt for a long time. And I knew Rashad was worthy of a title shot before he even fought Tito Ortiz and when he was winning most fights by decision. Most other MMA fans said Rashad wasn't even close to being a top 10 fighter.
Michael Bisping has moved down to 185, so i don't think him and Rashad will have a rematch

True. But Dana talks shit about every fighter not in the UFC. He use to talk bad about Wand when he was dominating the MW division in Pride. But now look where he's at.

Rashad Evans beating Fedor is realistic now. He beat Stephan Bonnar, Sam Hoger and Michael Bisping all by decision. I think that's probably how he'll beat Fedor if he fought him

True. But Dana talks shit about every fighter not in the UFC. He use to talk bad about Wand when he was dominating the MW division in Pride. But now look where he's at.Thats because he bought PRIDE and had options on all there fighters. Dana does have a shred of class. He`s been bad mouthing Fedor for years and yet is adamant on having options on him in the UFC? Fedor`s not stupid by a long chalk. He doesnt need the UFC.
Bisping-Evans was a close un Mike. As soon as Evans gets the belt there is no saying the lure of the gold will keep Bisping from coming back to lt.heavy. A bit of Dana White machinations and a garbage of a rematch will occur in an attempt to keep Machida away from a title shot. Boy I hope I'm wrong.
