Sports Illustrated Predicts Unanimous Decision:
SI.com’s Josh Gross examines the Sept. 6th main event: Chuck “Iceman” Liddell vs. Rashad “Sugar” Evans. “Time and again, Liddell neutralized fighters like Evans by counterpunching while moving backwards and stopping takedowns when he needed. Even if opponents could get past Liddell's heavy hands, there was no guarantee a takedown would follow.” Gross does acknowledge that Sugar is “a good wrestler who developed an affinity for striking,“ and anticipates a methodical striking fight. In the end, he predicts Iceman will win out on a unanimous decision.
