Griffin has sloppy standup and no KO power. Rashad looks like a classic boxer when he fights, nice head and foot movement, crisp shots with real power, and he can kick. Tito kicks too, but I laugh every time he does it. Has he ever actually hit anyone with one of those kicks?
Evans didn't want to look good against Salmon, he wanted a KO, and he got one.

Took the words right out of my mouth. If anyone is overrated it is Tito imo, everyone seems to remember the days when he was champion but that was
4 years ago. Who has he beat since? A young inexperienced Patrick Cote, a split decision to a washed up Vitor, a split decision to a "TUF'er", Forrest Griffin, who some in this thread seem to be making fun of, (also see Bomber's description of Forrest above), and 2 wins over Ken Shamrock (LOL). Rashad is a young, dynamic, constantly evolving fighter while Tito and his hardcore fans are dwelling in the past. The old days of the UFC are over and styles like Tito's are not going to win championships anymore.
