If you can find a video on the net of just the knock out. Wow it looked bad and it took a few minutes for Chuck to come around afterwards. Very nasty looking knock out. I was actually concernd because of how Chuck landed and how he looked before coming to. Very hard punch. Hat off Rashad very well done.

Yeah IM a big Liddell fan from the beginning (well since around '99) so I was sad but props to Rashad he landed it clean. Chuck needs to diversify his gameplan because he just kept telegraphing that right hand (as he usually does) and fighters and trainers are figuring him out. Honestly though after watching the replay a few times of that moment he really should have had his hand up to cover when he went for that right. Wonder whats next for Chuck now

Congrats to Evans. That was a good punch. ESPN even highlighted it.

Yeah, Evans continues to impress.

I was very sad. I am also a Chuck Liddell fan, He underestimated Rashad Evans, he droped his guard more than usual. I think it might have been the perky nibbles, he kept on tweeking them.
