It's Past Time for Fans to Give Rashad Evans His Due

[Misfit]

Maybe when Ray Shad quits acting like a cocky fool and pulling shit like this :

How many years ago was that?

I'm not much of a fan either but he looked good against Tito. Better than most of us expected imo. That said, still not sure he makes it out of the 1st.

He used to annoy the fuck out of me..MASSIVELY. But watching the build up and listening to him, he seems he's changed a fair bit. Has a bit more humility,respect and isn't as cocky as he was. Call me stupid, but I think the brash attitude has something to do with Jackson's camp. Marquardt,GSP,Condit and many others all seem very cocky and cock sure of themselves. Bones is heading that way too.

I'm not saying I'm a huge fan because I certainly am not, but it seems Suga is growing on me a little! **PUNCHING MYSELF IN THE COCK AND BALLS FOR BEING THIS WAY!**

That was 2 1/2 years ago, but he did the same sort of taunting to Machida, until Machida answered him with a very humbling KTFO :

Why didn't you like Shogun Rua or Wanderlei Silva?

I was/am a huge Chuck fan, my favorite fighter, so there was always the whole Pride Vs. UFC thing and Wandy would kick Chuck's ass debate, and I always felt Wandy was very disrespectful inside the ring, and then the whole Chute Box vs Hammer House fiasco inside the ring during the pride card......Shogun...really not so much the guy, but more that he was a Chute Box guy.

GSP is anything but Cocky, probably one of the most down to earth guys fighting....and I've never found Condit to be a brash S.O.B

How many fights ago was that?? I don't even see why that is being brought up anymore? He hasn't done anything like that since. And on the UF he worked his ass off to train his guys the right way and to teach them to be professional. He didn't teach them or encourage them to act in a manner like that at all. Then you saw on the other side where Rampage wasn't there for any of his guys other than Kimbo and clowned around the entire time treating the entire show and the tournament like it was a joke and some sort of "look at me" session for him and he's got a ton of more fans than Rashad Evans. Sorry, but something is wrong with this picture.

cocky - overly self-confident or self-assertive; "a very cocky young man"
assertive, self-asserting, self-assertive - aggressively self-assured; "an energetic assertive boy who was always ready to argue"; "pointing directly at a listener is an assertive act"



adjective overconfident, arrogant, brash, swaggering, conceited, egotistical, cocksure, swollen-headed, vain, full of yourself He was a little cocky because he was winning all the time.


Alright now, feel free to show me where these definitions and adjectives reflect on George St.. Pierre at all. I posted the definition, because you seem very confused. Whether you're a fan or not of GSP or Condit, calling either one of them cocky from their history simply doesn't fit. You'd have to change the definition or what it actually means to suggest that. I know a lot of people that aren't to fond of GSP because they consider him boring or "to nice" or because they don't like his accent, but I've never ever heard someone try to accuse him of being some cocky ass dude. It's like saying that Dana White is this Christian sweetheart that would never swear or say a curse word. It just doesn't fit.

I don't know why you don't get it Red... but most people understand that Rampage is clowning around with his "antics" and Ray Shad is just a cocky braggart whose childish acts throughout his time in the UFC had garnered him the lack of respect that's fully warranted.

As I said above, he pulled that WWE shit in the octagon with Forrest and then tried similar shit in the octagon with Machida who knocked his ass out in return.

Maybe he's starting to change in your opinion and in the minds of what few fans he has, but after 6 years of acting like a WWE fool in the UFC, things aren't gonna turn around for this clown anytime soon.

I understand your dislike for Rampage is because of the things he does "outside" of the octagon, but Ray Shad acts like a cocky low-class WWE fool inside and outside of the octagon... on a constant basis !

[MMA Guru]

Rich, might you consider that Evans is just trying to sell lack luster fights? I'm not defending Rashad necessarily as much as I'm just saying it seems like a lot of his talk is fight selling.

[Rich Davie]

I don't think so... he was the same character as he was on TUF.
