^Interview. He also says Rashad could be a harder fight than Rua.

Once again, sounds like Chuck isn't giving enough respect to PRIDE fighters. Shogun is way more proven than Rashad and Chuck has always beaten Wrestlers easily.

I think Chuck may just be trying to hype the fight up. Or he just loves degrading PRIDE fighters. Because he also mentions Fedor again(In a negative way) at the end of the interview.

Well excluding Shoguns last fight. He has appeared to be a far better striker as well as much faster then Evans. Simple hype is my guess.

Evans might be a better boxer then Rua, but overrall better striker? i think not.

Chuck is happy now that he doesn't have to fight Shogun. So he's going to talk shit, when he doesn't have to back it up.

Rua is not a great striker. He's too much like his brother, and Wanderlei. Very wild, not technically great, but very powerful and strong.

Look at the fight with Noguiera in 2005. He got rocked 3 times in the first round, maybe five times in the fight altogether.

It was his wrestling/takedowns that won him that fight.

Get real, you mean Chuck can't have an opinion now on who is a better fighter? Its his opinion, he wasn't being disrespectful, you seem to be the one thats too emotionally attached.
