I just watched this again and I totally 110% beleive this really was a spoon fed match for Rashad. UFC just trying to pump him up for the big set up of a match he isn't ready for.

He has got to face Ortiz or Jardine before he gets a title shot with liddell.

Has anyone heard any speculation on his next match up?



If you think Salmon was just a nobody with no skills, then yes, it was spoonfed.
But if you think that Salmon's a talented fighter with the skills to beat others in the division, then it was a decent matchup.

How is that reminicent at all? Babalu was coming forward and Chuck threw a mid level kick that hit Babalut on the forehead with his shin. They are not similar at all.



umm a kick to the head? not similar?

[QUOTE=Profane;118590] Matt Hughes has been fighting for a long time and could NEVER throw a kick with that kind of precision. Rashad is growing every fight in the octagon QUOTE]

I agree with this statement^,I think Rashad is on a great learning curve.That kick was a devastating one ,one of the worst knockouts ive seen and his opponent came from the millitich camp where they have tough guys so dont take anything away from rashad just yet ,i bet salmon still has a headache and i hope he goes home and learns strike defense , as for his karate kick that was a joke ,but respect to everyone who even trains in this sport.

As for being hand picked. He won the first round?!?!?!? If he would have been in better shape he might have won the fight.

WE HATE!!!

The Rash would NOT take out my top fighter.

Crocop would beat that ass to the point that the Rash would wish he were back fighting no-name fighters. "bet on that"



LHW vs HW NEXT!!

Just watched the vid again. Holy crap you're right!

That was some serious "Crane-style" ability he was showcasing there.



duke is always right, and the duke has also taken up referring to himself in the third person. duke thinks this will help him climb the social latter.

duke also thinks that the crane kick is underused in mma, and if rashad was from cobra kai and was 6 feet closer to salmon san, this fight would have turned out much differently.

some of you guys are ridiculous. look at Rampage when he first started out he was decent or Hughes or Anderson Silva. anyone who first started out then look at there progression. then look at Rashad on the Show as to Rashad now. hate all you want the kid is a sponge. Matt Hughes has been fighting for a long time and could NEVER throw a kick with that kind of precision. Rashad is growing every fight in the octagon and he will beat your favorite fighter. bet on that.

come on give some respect to rashad he has obviously worked on his stand up and now has some kicks 2 go along with decent boxing and excellent wrestling, give this guy a break. everyone on this forum seems 2 hate anyone who was on the TUF series when in reality it has given us some great fighters .... diego, swick, forrest , jardine, evans, stevenson, quarry, grove, bisping, leben, florian..... they all may not be top contenders but its seems you all want them 2 fail because they were on a tv show. im sure with their skills they would have made it anyway

Still not impressed with Evans, I am certain that fight was hand picked to give Rashad a greater KO likelyhood, just to make him more marketable.



YUP!!!

Spoon fed...

His easy fights will come to an end soon enough. You can only avoid the big dogs for so long.

Hey Rash,
Your perfect record's days are numbered. Enjoy it while it last. Your first loss will be very painful. :D

How is that reminicent at all? Babalu was coming forward and Chuck threw a mid level kick that hit Babalut on the forehead with his shin. They are not similar at all.
