Rashad Evans to Matt Hughes: Your Style Is Antiquated

via rashadevans.tv

Before Matt Hughes's fight with Ricardo Almeida at UFC 117, Rashad Evans called out Hughes for not keeping up with the modern game. After the fight, fans were looking for Rashad to eat crow. Instead, he used the power of Twitter to explain what he meant when he called Hughes "antiquated."

I said that cuz he changes his stance based on how he plans 2 fight.. That's not high level. I think Hughes is a legend & a great fighter but I still think he regressed as a fighter. He gives away his game plan at the Start of every fight.. If he wants 2 wrestle he goes southpaw if he wants 2 stand up he goes conventional stance.. When u do that u limit what u can do & your opponent knows how u plan on attacking.. The name of the game is deception.. But Hughes is a legend if I do half of what he has accomplished I will b happy.. But he is not above being analyzed sorry Hughes fans it's part of the game.

Come to think of it, that was a pretty old-fashioned choke that he used to win….

Nice choke, but Hughes didn't look good

He clipped Almeida and went in for a nice finish, but looked poor before that.

I think Rashad’s comments were legit. Everyone should be analyzed, that’s what we do and how we enjoy the sport.

Hughes is still a tough out, but he hasn’t kept up with the advances in the game.

what made him look so poor in your mind? because ricardo was moving around like frankie edgar??? he didnt even hit matt, so id say it was a pretty damn good showing

I can't defend a whole lot about last year.

I love the Bears but Cutler made some horrible decisions and he’s gotta be held accountable for it. That said, the line was garbage and Ron Turner knows how to run an offense about as well as Anderson Silva knows how to wrestle. Forte had a bum knee all year and the defense had some injuries. We brought in Chester Taylor from Minnesota and Julius Peppers should be solid. Also traded back for Chris Harris to shore up the horrific pass defense of last year. I feel pretty good about this season.

I can live with that assessment . Jays ....

….. recievers ran bad routes and gave up on routes , Ron Ron was a horrid play caller ( which lead to some of those INT’s ) and the left side of the line ..cough … cough … Orlando Pace … cough … was just plain bad . I’m good with Jay , he showed what he could do in a real offense ( Denver ran by Shanny ) and he’ll do it again …. for Da Bears ! And I also feel confident about the up coming season .

Everything Rashad said is sensible.

Though he’s probably one of the most polarizing guys in MMA these days so I can still see him getting a lot of shit for being “arrogant” and a douche.

Not that Snowden is wrong either; both guys have points.

by Gitaroo_Dude on Aug 8, 2010 11:46 PM EDT reply actions  

I think everything he said is right. Hughes does have a somewhat overly-simplified approach to gameplans and is very predictable. Even with that being said, there has to be major props given to Hughes for winning that fight.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

Have some racial sensitivity

I don’t see how you can call Rashad’s movements “monkeylike”

Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.

This is my opinion though seriously. I can see why you would flag me for that, it was most certainly a smart ass comment on my part. Let me ask you a question, are you black? If you’re black I can understand somewhat, if not then I simply will not put up with you trying to take some offense to a word that only directly refers to my own ethnic group. I don’t have a problem using it in a lighter or satirical sense, it’s actually a word that personally I never use, and I understand when someone else uses it in the same way. It is only a word and the power behind it is only in the perception of those who hear it. The word didn’t enslave or lynch anybody, and I refuse to act like some sort of slave to it’s non-existing terror.

I don’t in anyway support the use of the word in any kind of blatantly racist manner, and I won’t tell you how to feel about it either. I’m simply stating that it is in this case meant in no harm, and I apologize if it bothers you beyond a level that I originally realized.

I only know this because a friend of a friend works in renovations and worked for him. He said Evans is the nicest guy he’s ever worked for and humble as hell so whatever you want to interpret in his speech here, take it witha grain of salt. He treats working people well when he could’ve been a prick.

He really does though. Not only with the way he enters the cage, which is much more blatant, but also in how when he fights hes constantly bobbing his head taking weird stances and letting his arms bounce around. It’s actually very Keith Jardine like, who despite being white looks all that more monkeyish when he fights.

Is it weird that my spell check didn’t find a problem with monkeyish, is monkeyish a real word or something?

I agree, the way especially when he fought Rampage last time around he moved very monkeyish (my spell check does red-mark that word btw, wrote it anyway). Keeping a very low and kinda weird stance, swinging his arms around and such. That’s moving around like a monkey to me.. when I read that initial comment, I agreed to myself but never thought anything about Rashad’s race or such, until I read Snowden’s response.

Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems?

I was watching Evans vs Rampage at some bar with a random guy who yelled “this guy looks like a fucking monkey” but that was directed at Lil Nog when he was fighting and very much pertained to his actual physical appearance.

Funny story I heard the other day.

A trainer was working with Big Nog. Rodrigo asks how old he is. Trainer says “I’m in my late 30’s, almost 40.” Rodrigo tells him that he’s only 33 and since the trainer looks younger than him, he adds “…but you didn’t fight Fedor.”

I loved the guy before, that story only cemented it.

I wouldn't be so sure of that

It will be far more unpleasant for Rua than Evans, at least until the end.

Evans’ doesn’t have Sonnen’s top control, but with his BJJ BB he is a more capable overall MMA wrestler.

Of course, I believe Rua has better BJJ than Anderson overall, and has excellent sweeps, so…

At this point I’ll call it like Sonnen/Silva – taken down repeatedly, kept down, but not as well, but ultimately Evans’ lack of elite top control costs him the fight and Shogun catches him.

Rashad probably didn't recognize it until Rogan mentioned it.

I disagree with Rashad’s comment: “The name of the game is deception”. There are PLENTY of successful MMA fighters with fairly predictable gameplans. Sure Matt telegraphs when he’s likely to NOT shoot, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t. I think he’s is just choosing to maximize his striking potential for that particular moment. Plus, at the end of the day, the opponent is gonna have to deal with the offense …as predictable as it is. Nick Diaz is gonna try to pepper you all day….you KNOW that, but knowing it doesn’t stop it. It comes down to skill more than “deception”. Deception is successful utilized by very few fighters, in my opinion.

I disagree. I think “deception” is kind of a bad way to put it, though – Rashad is good at mixing things up. That’s a big part of how he beat Rampage, too. Rampage has one weapon – his hands – while Rashad was constantly making him guess about his movement.

When I watched MMA LIve, I thought his analysis was correct. Some things you say aren’t always going to work out, but at least he gets on the show and gives his thoughts. I like Rashad as an analyst and I think that the wrestling style Hughes has is antiquated compared to GSP’s style, but still good enough to beat most of the top welterweights out there.

I mean I don’t mean it, but it sounds like something a sincere person would say. It’s weird that people get congratulated for that, it’s not like you’ve achieved anything it’s just two people making a decision.

But still congratulations, that is just fantastic.

Hughes needs to beat up Dennis Hallman once and for all, and then ride off into the sunset. No reason to risk fate at this point. Almedia was the perfect opponent for Hughes – he’d won enough fights that people thought he was a real legit threat to Hughes, when he actually wasn’t. People totally forgot that this was the same guy who could essentially do nothing to Patrick Cote and went life and death on the ground with Kendall Grove. Hughes might be faded at this point, but he can still grapple like a MF’er. That took away the only real trump card Almedia holds, since he’s not greatest on the feet. I am still completley baffled as to why everyone and their brother picked Almedia to beat Hughes. I think Jordan Breen , me and like two other people picked Hughes in that fight. That’s it.

Anyway, we should let the Hughes retirement tour come to an appropriate end. Dennis Hallman has two wins over Hughes. Hallman beat Ben Saunders the other night. Give Hughes that rematch. Let him work over Hallman in epic, brutal fashion, then retire. Go out with 4 wins over solid competition. There is zero reason to send Hughes in there with a contender at this point. He doesn’t want to fight for the title and nobody wants to see him fight GSP again anyway. Let him beat up Hallman after hunting season, and then go out gracefully. We don’t need to see an MMA legend go out getting embarrased again. Think about how much nicer it would be if Chuck Liddell had just fought the Stephan Bonnar’s of the world the last two years instead of Rashad Evans, Shogun Rua and Rich Franklin.

Hughes is at the tail end of his career, but it seems he can still beat quality opponents. Hell, I might be crazy but I kinda think if he is healthy he could beat Alves in a rematch, ya know, without the knee injury.

Hughes is a fighter, Rashad is an athlete that thinks his shit doesn’t stink.

Shut up ‘Ashad for frack sake. Many people already irrationally hate you, don’t fuel their fire !

Well, anybody who knows me knows I'm no fan of dictionaries or reference books. They're elitist. Constantly telling us what is or isn't true. Or what did or didn't happen.

I'm a huge Hughes fan,

I’m a huge Hughes fan and completely expected him to pull out the win, but what Rashad says is completely true. Hughes is antiquated in his fighting style and training and it shows more and more as time goes on. The fact that he can pull out impressive wins still is just a testament to how much of a warrior he is.

Saying that, I don’t really see the point of Rashad calling Hughes out on it. My guess is he just holds a bit of a grudge still.

Rashad was analyzing the fight on MMA Live

and said Hughes style was antiquated.

Fans gave him shit for it.

Hughes won.

Fans gave him more shit.

Rashad explained why he said what he said.

Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.

Rashad and Hughes are going to be like 80 years old one day, and they’ll still manage to find something bad to say about one another. “Oh yeah? Well, I might use a walker, but Rashad uses a Hoveround!”

I see.

I took it that he just made a random comment on twitter which didn’t make much sense to me unless he was holding a grudge still. Doing it as part of a commentary makes much more sense considering that I agree with him.

Duh, It's RASHAD

We gotta talk shit AND post gifs.

I need someone to post him getting KO’d by Machida. It makes my Rashad-hate boner raaaaaaage!!!!

Hughes Survival and Technique

Hughes technique ain’t pretty but it gets the job done. To name a few matches where this is apparent see: Hughes vs Newton 1, BJ 2, Trigg 2, St Pierre 1, Renzo, and now Almeida.
What do all these matches have in common? He didn’t look great, but found a way to win.
Unlike Rashad, Hughes is a true champ and survived his first title defense. Evans needs to quit talkin smack and focus on not getting leg kicked or clinched kneed to oblivion by Shogun. As for Hughes: country boy will survive.
