"My mom’s on Rampage’s side. She’s cheering for Rampage," Evans said with a laugh. "She’s always saying, ‘Ruuh-shawd, be nice to Rampage! He’s so funny!’ I’m like, ‘Ma, who cares if he’s funny?’"

"Ruuh-shawd," continued Evans, in his mother impersonation. "Get me a Rampage shirt!"

--Rashad Evans, Talking to the Las Vegas Sun about his mother being a Rampage fan. Rashad also says that while he won't be facing him on UFC 107 as originally planned, the animosity between them wouldn't be fading anytime soon.

That was great, especially when they got Rashad’s mom on the line.

The look on his face was epic.

the only sad part about this is

this will probably discourage rashad from ever doing impressions of mike tyson ever again, in fear that he will be backstage waiting to bite his ear off.

Have you seen Mike Tyson lately. Ears are his appetizers at this point.

Rashad’s Mike Tyson impression is pretty good.

Wow, his Tyson is perfect. Spot on.

They did him dirty, having his mom wait on the line like that, though.

The look on his face, Priceless.

Rashad is one of the funniest fighters in the game. I rofl’ed hard to his Tyson impersonation. Tyson was right though, Rashad had fear in his heart for Machida.

for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.

Rashad is pretty classy.

He can be

He can be SO classy and funny and I start really liking him, then he turns around and acts like a D-Bag again. I never know what to think about him.

by Chris Barton on Dec 7, 2009 1:33 PM EST up reply actions

Rashad is classy until you start talking trash … then he turns into a foul mouthed cretin.

He has no middle ground.

Rushawwwwd. Be nice to Rampage.

I also feel like he is an instigator, but then gets really absurd when things don’t go his way.

by Chris Barton on Dec 8, 2009 2:07 PM EST up reply actions

Definitely watch the video. Great Tyson. I like how he didn’t try to do a caricature impression. If he was talking to you on the phone, you’d think you were actually talking to Tyson.

Then he does his Mom (mind out of the gutters gents) and she gets on the line and sounds exactly the same! Awesome.

Looks like Rashad has another Vegas gig waiting for him if the whole fighting thing doesn’t work out.

Whats sad is when this fight happens Rashad is going to be a huge underdog

by AintNoSunshine on Dec 7, 2009 2:10 PM EST reply actions

It's official: I like Rashad Evans.

Never thought it would happen. I’ve been a hater for years but the guy won me over. He was great on TUF and cracked me up with his impersonations. Well played, my man.

Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.
