Main Event Chuck Liddell vs Rashad Evans
Rashad comes out to the sounds of Nas with Keith Jardine in his corner, Jardine was the last man to defeat Chuck Liddell. Rashad is going to have a tough time with the reach advantage of Liddell. The arena is deafening, the sounds of DMX run rampant through the arena and here comes the Iceman!
Everyone is on their feet for this one. Rashad looks nervous, but here we go.
Round 1
a 1 2 combo stuns Evans. No action, the crowd boos. Big right hand from Evans, big right from Chuck, Evans dances it off. Leg kick lands to the thigh of Liddell. Chuck is looking for that one right hand that will knock out Evans. Chants of Chuck fill the arena, then followed up with some boos. Chuck checks a big right leg kick from Evans. Evans is having a hard time getting inside of Chuck’s reach. A left hook from Evans opens up a cut under the right eye of Liddell. Chuck misses with a right head kick as time expires. Tough call 10-9 Chuck for him pushing the pace.
Round 2
Both fighters exchange punches with some power and Liddell is knocked unconcious with a huge right hook. Rashad faked with a left and knocked him out with a right. It doesn’t look good for Liddell, he’s shaking in the ring and is finally helped up by the paramedics and is getting oxygen from them. Bad news for Liddell. Winner by KO 1:51 in the second round "Sugar" Rashad Evans!
The win sure makes a mess of the title picture, but I hope they give a rematch to Rampage!
Liddell is able to walk off under his own power. Great night of fights! Stay tuned for my UFC 88 Review!
