Rashad Evans knocked Chuck Liddell cold Saturday at UFC 88 in Atlanta.

The shocking finish came at 1:51 of the second round. Liddell had backed his opponent into the cage, where the future UFC Hall of Famer loaded the right hand that has made him one of the few millionaire mixed martial artists.

Evans, an undefeated 28-year-old who has been fighting for roughly four years, flashed a jab that he followed quickly with an overhand right. At that precise moment, Liddell was throwing an uppercut. Evans’ punch landed first, and it landed on Liddell’s chin.

Liddell dropped instantly, and there was no doubt that the fight was over. He lay face-first on the canvas until referee Herb Dean (Pictures) rolled him over.

The fighters had covered plenty of ground during the first five minutes. They circled, pursued, were pursued, punched occasionally. It wasn’t a period worth replaying. Evans was elusive, but Liddell won the round.

Early in the second, Liddell seemed to get what he wanted: an exchange. Neither man connected with anything damaging, but Evans came out of it with the look of someone who had stood in the pocket with Liddell and more than survived there. Soon Evans was scoring with a left hook, and Liddell was closing in, thinking perhaps that Evans was falling into his game plan. The final exchange followed, leaving Liddell on the ground for several minutes before he was up and moving about again.

I was at the fight and there was some hateful people not being appreciative of a great fighter like rashad evans. Don't get me wrong, I wanted liddell to win but at the end of the day Evans is a rising star and as result Dana White has made him the number one contender for the light heavyweight belt on december 27th vs. heavily popular forrest griffin.

How is that an upset? It's only an upset to the pro-white fans and commentators. I for one am glad for evans and hope he continues to do well in his career. Besides, I made a hundred bucks off this fight, so thanks evans....lol.

This goes to show you what happens when you grow up and instinctively do not know how to use your hands... in terms of coming out to immortal technique ... I hope he comes out with another album in the next 5 years :)

Racism? I don't know. Guys like Cheik Kongo and Rampage Jackson get a lot of cheers. Kimbo Slice is the biggest draw on EliteXC. These guys get a lot of boos too, but I've never seen boos AFTER a knockout in a fight.

I think a lot of people 1) don't like Evans b/c of his fighting style and whatnot and 2) Liddell is their hero. As you can see on my blog though, I was the only guy cheering at my bar in Houston.

even if it was a lucky punch it was that '1 lucky punch' ladies and gentlemen that sent chuck to fun time sleepy dream la la land where chuck was seeing them cartoon birdies float adn chirp around his unconsciousness.

it's an upset because Evans is known for his wrestling abilities, not his striking game, which.. obviously is getting a lot better. THAT'S why it's an upset. Not because he's black. It's not always about race, people.

Posted by: upset at September 9, 2008 9:06 AM

Evans is a great fighter. Hes known for his wrestling but how many brothers you can't box? He'll know your ass out too.

Posted by: Max at September 11, 2008 1:54 AM

Fuck that Chuck is way better. He will always be better, when the rematch comes you WILL SEE!
