Rashad Evans VS Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who would win?

Answer 1

Rampage would win. I hear a lot of people say how Rampage isn't the same fighter since he became a Christian, and I say thats a load of crap. Yes, he lost to Silva twice, but you can't say that he had a poor showing in those fights he took it to Silva all the way. After his 2nd loss he was down in the dumps. I believe he was that way because he saw an uncertain future for him in Pride, and his heart just wasn't in it. He came over here, and fought one of the top middleweights in the world, and won the decision. Some would say a controversial win, but a win none the less. Either way you can't say he didn't fight his heart out during that fight. Now he is in the UFC, and he has a shot at the title, he knows winning the title will bring a lot of $$$$ for him, and his family. He'll pick up Chuck, and slam him to the ground like before. As far as Rashed goes. I like him and think he has potential, but the UFC needs to give him some good competition, and not feed him a can like the other night.

Answer 2

This could be a really fun match. Speed: Evans. Strength: Jackson Conditioning: probably Jackson, depending on his camp. Training camp: Evans, hands down. Mental edge: right now I'd give it to Evans. Rampage has had more downs than ups this year, while Evans is undefeated, knocking off a former champ and UFC legend in his last fight. However, that could change depending on the outcome of their matches this month. If Evans loses, it would be his first loss, and that would be something he hasn't had to deal with before. If Jackson wins, he's just beaten a guy who beat him twice before, which no doubt would positively effect him on a mental level. Stand-up: hard to say. They both have great boxing defense, but Rampage blocks while Evans uses head movement. They both have very clean boxing, but I think Rampage generally puts more power behind his shots. Neither has a particularly diverse arsenal, but Evans has the KO head kick over Salmon, and I think Rampage's MMA combinations are probably better in that he'll mix in knees, elbows, and takedowns more. I'm going to give a slight edge to Jackson here. Takedowns: Evans uses the classic college double-leg. Jackson slams people. I think Jackson's defense might be better too, considering he's faced guys like Arona, Lindland, Randleman, Henderson, and I'll even include Sakuraba in there, and has done a pretty good job defending them. Rashad was taken down by Tito Ortiz. Slight edge to Jackson. Ground grappling: We saw Jackson completely sucking off his back in his last fight. However I think he's more knowlegeable in submissions and submission defense. Edge goes to Jackson. Durability: Jackson has been stopped, dropped, submitted and KO'd. Rashad hasn't. Although in fairness Rashad's only threat for this so far has been Liddell and maybe Jardine. Still, he hasn't been stopped and Rampage has. Tentative edge to Evans. Experience: Jackson, no doubt. In the final analysis I think Jackson holds more of an edge coming into the fight, but you can't count Evans out. Nobody's really found a way to stop Evans yet. But I'd definitely be excited about this match.
