Reducing Pereira to his power is not smart. He has a very disciplined and strategic game. He pressured, he hit the body with kicks and punches, he hit the legs. He is very technical. He doesn't use his hip when kicking but he still generates a lot of power

What an awesome treat on this Easter weekend. Having Rashad on the show analyzing the fight game makes me appreciate fighters even more. It's a damn shame these guys don't paid better, or at the very least, pensions and health care for life. Keep up the great work gents :)
I think people forget how great Rashad was. He made me a believer over several years. He was so damn savvy. The Rashad that fought JJ was levels above champion Rashad. JJ just happened to be the LHW GOAT (at the very least).
I remembér vitor, shogun, rampage, chael, machida none could push JJ to dec only rashad did it back in the day when jones was hungry and young. Later more people took him to dec but back in the day it was very impressive what Rashad did.
I always go back to that remarkable KO of Jacare by Holland. KO's a guy from his back. Dude has what it takes physically....just gotta get his house in order. Great show fellas...Rashad is by far the best guest/fill-in you guys have. I love Chuck and the rest, but the chemistry and his overall knowledge of the game just melds so well. Thanks as always!
I loved rashads take about the certain style of different weight classes, no more obvious than the middleweight division which is essentially the strikers division
Izzy DID try to make him respect his power early - he almost knocked him out in the 1st round. If almost getting KO'ed doesn't make him respect your power, then I don't know what will.
Yeah that’s the problem. He most likely have to take him out early in the fight. Considering the last 2 fights it’s not unlikely he gets it done. But same for him getting finished again
BC literally interrupts everyone! MK: THIS WAS AWESOME!!!! BEST BREAKDOWNS AND MMA CONTENT IN THE GAME. YOU GUYS WORK WITH ANALYSTS IN SUCH AN EXCELLENT WAY
What's Rashad smoking? Holland is DEFINITELY still trying to fight everyone. He just got into it with Masvidal. Last event he was at, he got into it with Khamzat.
Imagine having to spend all of your cardio before the 5th round ducking dodging, going for takedowns trying to control, and attacking with offense. And the monster is still walking forward. Terrifying. He probably has to go for broke to get him out of there or get slept trying. Let's Go 287
Rashad is coming from a very enlightened place these days- you have a room service with him to come that Luke said is the best interview he's done for some time?? cant wait for that
If Adesanya ends up acquiring sufficient enough grappling and clinch skills to beat Pereira in an MMA fight, we could witness the evolution of Adesanya and another decent title reign. If Khamzat doesn't destroy him, that is.
Masvidal is doing everything a fighter does for their last fight talking about retiring talking about already having enough money and during the ceremonial weigh ins he brought his kids out with him. Everything points to him losing and being done
The middleweight division has lacked elite grapplers for the last 5 years. Barely anyone in top 10 have won by submissions. Alex winning again would be hilarious and also more exciting for the division.
I won't be sad when the "Teddy Atlas said 30%" meme slows its roll. I think the apparent increase in skills can be explained better by referring to other factors that simply the confidence, which of course helps.
I completely agree with you. Most people don’t understand percentages lol. When teddy says “30% better overnight when they claim the belt” is so ridiculous.. at the elite level.. these guys are seperated by single digit percentages at best.. if someone gained 30% skill overnight they would lap the division . Teddy for sure doesn’t have a clear understanding of mathematics .
I think izzy could stay at MW for the rest of his career. Let’s not forget that that he weighed in at 197 against jan. He could stay there for good if he wanted to
Great show. The synergy between LT, BC and Rashad was top Notch though the show was really short. They didn't talk about the Gastelum fight, about Michelle Waterson, Bahamondes or the rest of the card as well as predictions about what happens after the main and co-main fights. Having Rashad there and not doing that was a waste for me.
It's weird to still hear people saying Israel is the better striker of the two. Paints Pereira as if he was a pure brawler with a puncher's chance and a lot of luck. Maybe I'm wrong but he seems just as methodical in his approach as Izzy, just different.
The more they have Rashad on, the better. He's a great analyst and flows with Brian and Luke naturally
Yeah but ge Eugene s Robinson. Luke promissed
Reducing Pereira to his power is not smart. He has a very disciplined and strategic game. He pressured, he hit the body with kicks and punches, he hit the legs. He is very technical. He doesn't use his hip when kicking but he still generates a lot of power
Damn, Rashad seems really happy. With the struggles so many retired fighters face, it’s great to see him thriving
He got into magic mushrooms a while back apparently, which is what helped him change into this chill, super well adjusted guy. Seriously.
@@donnydogpiss4533 I'd be pretty chill too if I had some shrooms

Rashad is an underapreciated legend
I think this is yours: p
He was considered a top p4p fighter in his prime
Luke Thomas never fails to disappoint me. Dude is ALLERGIC to giving Pereira credit
These guys just got done blowing Izzy so hard for 2 years straight. Hyping him up as this all time great blah blah. Can't get over the fact that Alex could walk in to mma off the streets and dethrone their golden boy.
💯 if he beats Izzy again he’ll find an excuse
fantastic show! Rashad is such a delight to listen to
@Kombat Kompanion who has a better resume at MW than Izzy? Only one that comes close is Whittaker
@Kombat Kompanion You yourself said MW resume's. Why mention Jones and DJ
Rashad Evan's is the man, he's hilarious and humble af
Rashad is a great fit with MK, good chemistry should have him back
this was one of y’all’s best episodes. really good chemistry with rashaad for sure
My favorite part is definitely BC singing "rhythm of the fight" lol. Rashad was a great addition to have on this episode too.
This is top notch guys. Great to hear from Rashad too. He seems really happy these days. Cheers everyone.
Love Rashad and how he has evolved post fight career!
Love Rashaad a thoughtful and calm analyst very underrated
I fucking love Rashad man. Such a beautiful human being. Always love seeing him on MK!
Love Rashad’s input. He’s right, you guys should bring him on more often.
Rashad is a high quality guest. I'm always pleased to see he's on the program.
Yeah, I just wish he didn't have those dumb dreads in his hair, but yeah he has great insight.

Rashad vs Phil Davis.. and Rashad vs Chael Sonnen.. he was peaking, however.. he was notably huge, think he was training with Vitor at the time 👀
I was rootin for em!!!
@@happywednesday6741 Me too 😅😅😅
daaaaamn, what a great showing from Rashad, awesome
Awesome show! Flow with Rashad was great as always, but even that much better in person. Well done by all!
This was awesome. Is Rashad not one of the coolest retired fighters ever ?
I love Rashad. He has such a good and humble energy

He called khamzat out after that fight and I thought he had a chance. I was wrong.
His dogshit takedown defense is preventing him from contending.
If you don't like Rashad's energy then you've got some demons cause this fool is pure. Love this post-fight career Evans
Stop caring about what others think. If you enjoy it then that should satisfy your private consumption of entertainment

BEST BREAKDOWNS AND MMA CONTENT IN THE GAME.
YOU GUYS WORK WITH ANALYSTS IN SUCH AN EXCELLENT WAY
Gotta love Suga Rashad!
Rashad is such a cool dude, down to earth guy, love seeing him on the show
This is QUALITY content
PS. Poor luke, he wanted that close shot but the production crew is nowhere to be found
They probably fell asleep
Production quality has been a consistent shortcoming for MK, right down to the gmail accounts.
Technical Difficulties is why we love them
Always nice to hear from Rashad. Thanks gents
not sure I've ever re-watched an episode of this show in nearly 4 years of watching but ya'll did it with this one
Rashad consistently elevates the show when he's on. Just great to have the fighter insight.
Rashard!! yes!
I knew something was missing from fight week. Thank you, MK!
Loved this guys! Rashad looking flossy as fuck!
Rashad is the Best MK Guest, he's made the Walk, he really knows what's going on in the fighters mind.
Love this fellas. Anytime y'all bring on the legend Suga Rashad Evans is a treat for us! Thanks MK 🙏🏽 😁
It's wonderful listening to those three, they're so insightful and fun. And for some reason Luke's been way more happy and fun as well.
@@winntheriot9837Rashad must've spiked his drink with acid 😂
I like that Rashad gets all of BC’s jokes! 🤣
Izzy needs to be more quiet. He's a good guy but sometimes less is more. 🤐
He's cringe on the mic, for sure.
Lost all respect for him when he humped Costa after defeating him
Good guy? Na.
Rashad is wonderful. Love all of your videos with him.
This episode needed Rashad's UFC fighter impressions.
Great show with a great fan base 👏 👊Oss
I loved the State of Combat podcast with BC and Rashad so it’s good to see Suga back
My man Rashad is full of gems
So knowledgeable and so accessible
What's Rashad smoking? Holland is DEFINITELY still trying to fight everyone. He just got into it with Masvidal. Last event he was at, he got into it with Khamzat.
He’s playing it smart. Always trying to set up his next fight & get the fans behind it.
It's a crime how little you guys have Rashad on. That dude is always locked in and gives awesome perspective
that was a really worthwhile listen. thanks guys!
The reflection makes it look like Luke is rocking his Miami shorts under the desk
BC too lol
Rashad is a great guest!!!!
rashad fits that trio well. He's like the calm new step dad keeping the boys civil XD

Handsome AND smart. You can have Rashad on the show any time you like!
😂👌🏼
rashad and bc hittin duets made my day
Rashad is awesome and you guys all gel really well together.
Rashad bringing the intelligent angles. Great work 👍🏾
Yooooo! Shaad is back! Bring him on more!
Tremendous chemistry with Suga
Have missed Rashad on MK. Great chat and BC bursting into song... 100.
When it comes to Rosas, the UFC needs to remember what happened to Chase Hooper when they put him in front of Alex Caceres too soon.
Rashad is a great guest
Same!!!.
High Guard...
Bait the stomach shots...
High Hooks to KOs
A+ ep. Great chemistry with rashad.
Great upbeat show guys 👍
Rashad is coming from a very enlightened place these days- you have a room service with him to come that Luke said is the best interview he's done for some time?? cant wait for that
If Adesanya ends up acquiring sufficient enough grappling and clinch skills to beat Pereira in an MMA fight, we could witness the evolution of Adesanya and another decent title reign. If Khamzat doesn't destroy him, that is.
great show dorks rash goodman goodman
My favorite MK trio!! No disrespect chuck! Rashad is just an OG!
Rashad sharing the good Suga. Man killed it today
“I’m farming now. I wear nothing but linen all the time” - Rashad 😂
izzy got whittaker and vettori number so as pereira who has izzy's number, it wont be any different. pereira will win and probably gets the tko again
Huge plus having the insight of Rashad Evans
Very interesting listening to Rashad.
This is absolutely fantastic.
Rashad won the belt undefeated and as the TUF winner at heavyweight. People forget this man was a monster.
Masvidal is doing everything a fighter does for their last fight talking about retiring talking about already having enough money and during the ceremonial weigh ins he brought his kids out with him. Everything points to him losing and being done
This was amazing

Teddy picked Izzy, so He’s contradicting himself, unless he thought Alex was 30+% worse than Izzy.
I think izzy could stay at MW for the rest of his career. Let’s not forget that that he weighed in at 197 against jan. He could stay there for good if he wanted to
Great to see Rashad on the show.
This be fun...
Checkers.... piece them up.

Makes no sense Luke’s Izzy’s number one fan
Can y’all get Rashad some freaking merch please.. Geeezus
