Could Rashaad Edge Tito?

Personally, I don't think the UFC would want this fight to happen because they are settiung up Tito and Chuck 2 sometime Early next year, probably for the superbowl fight. Think about it: Evans is a great wrestler, and Tito would have a hard time getting him to the ground, especially if Evans works on takedown defense. WHo knows, Evans may even try to take Tito down. What it comes down to is Evans hands v.s. Tito's hands, and with Evans dropping Jardine, Whitehead, and Imes, call me crazy, but I think Evans could beat Tito

I still think Tito is a better wrestler, however, if he comes in hurt like he did against Forrest he would lose.

evans is a better wrestler than tito and stronger too. that being said, i think tito would have his way with evans on the feet. idk, id like to see it happen in the future, but not too soon, dont rush rashad into it.

If he used Randys gameplan he might give Tito problems. But I'd like to see him fight a few more fights against wuality opponents before getting in there with Tito

Randy has been the only guy ever to be able to take Tito down. Could Rashad do it? Maybe but I think Tito is much more well rounded than Rashad not to mention bigger and stronger. If Rashad went to ADCC he would be tapped left and right.

people are just ignorant if they think tito is a better wrestler than rashad. rashad is a better wrestler and better boxer. tito has the edge in strength, conditioning, experience, jj..

but rashad is a terrible style matchup for him.. better wrestler. would keep it on the feet and pick tito apart

This is a fight I would not want to see. Bad matchup of styles.

Well I respect your opinion always have. I know me and you both called Rashad plus you are an Arona fan so I have to change my thought and agree with you

tito is a much better grappler. fight will eventually go to ground and tito would win by gmp stoppage or sub, even on his back tito would win imo.
