Quote by -Rashad Evans
I'm open to fighting at 185 or 205 pounds, but I think I need to give this 185-pound run a real, honest crack. Being at this weight class has definitely made me into a different fighter.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
But if you look at a fight, it is anything but comfortable. So when you're fighting tough guys and you're not willing to go out of your comfort zone, you lose.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I believe I can beat Anderson Silva, and I believe that the skills that I have is something he'd have hard time dealing with, but to compete against the guy, first and foremost, would be an honor in and of itself.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
When I'm training for a fight, I'm not the same person that I normally am when I'm at home. I'm always thinking about fighting. I'm doing it day in and day out. Pretty soon, my personality starts to change. My temper's a little bit shorter, I don't have a lot of patience for a lot of things.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
My wife is married to a part-time husband. That's hard to do. The kids get the short end of the stick, too.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Coming into community college, I wasn't sure of where I wanted to go in my future.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
You know, MMA doesn't need New York, New York needs MMA. And I say that with all due respect to New York.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
For me I think the pressure Chael Sonnen brings is hard to match with his offense, takedowns, ground and pound, hand in the face and dropping elbows and shots. It kind of wears down a fighter.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Chicago is like a New York City. It's one of the those older cities. It really means something to fight there.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I didn't really realize that I could make it into a career until midway through the 'Ultimate Fighter' show when I started beating guys who had been training in the sport for a really long time.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Eric Knuutila was one of those coaches who I could tell who cared, who went the extra mile, who made sure that it wasn't just about getting me on the mat and wrestling.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I didn't grow up with my father in my life, and that bred a resentment in me, and it bred a mentality in me that made me very angry.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I'm one of those athletes, I compete better for coaches that I have a lot of love and respect for.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I give a lot of credit to my training partners and to my coaches. Both Greg Jackson and Michael Winklejohn are amazing.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I don't want to go out losing. But at the same time, it's what I need. It's what I need to do because I feel like I have other things in life that are calling me to do, to go to.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
At one point in my life, I felt as if fighting was everything. It was everything. I put life second.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I grew up so poor and now I have an opportunity to provide for my family in a way that I never imagined. I take that in consideration and try to exploit every single opportunity because when it's over it's over, there are no redos.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
It's sad because I worked so hard to be able to provide for my kids and give them a better life than I ever had for myself but I can't give them the one thing which they really need more than anything, and that's me.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I won't fight Thiago Silva. I won't fight Cezar 'Mutante' Ferreira. I won't fight anybody who I train with.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
There's a lot of reasons I didn't perform the way I could have in college. Going to college, I was a new parent, I lived in another state. I just wasn't mentally into it when I was in college.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Everyone's talking about Phil Davis and what he did in college. It's an accomplishment to win an NCAA title. I don't want to discredit that. But I believe if I would have wrestled him in college, I would have beat him.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I don't really think about the title, to be honest with you. I'm just going to go in there and fight. I'm a proud champion, but at the same time I'm not really fighting for the belt. I'm fighting because I love to fight and don't wanna lose and I don't like to lose.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Keith Jardine pushes me the hardest because we're in the same weight class and we get competitive with each other, we make sure we're in shape and ready to compete.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Yeah, I miss that feeling of knocking somebody clean out. There's nothing like it when you go into a fight and you just take 'em up out of there with just one punch. It's just the best feeling in the world.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I will always find something to challenge myself. I will go up to heavyweight or down to middleweight.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Sometimes when you open your mouth you show what you're afraid of more than anything.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Being tough is probably the biggest thing that NFL players are known for, having that kind of toughness.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Only thing I care about, the only thing I think about is the fight in front of me.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
The same people that boo you are the same people who will ask you for a picture an an autograph.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
Of course I expect to be booed. People always have to find the bad guy, and for some reason, the look on my face or something, people just want to boo me. That's fine.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
You can have the best college wrestling in the world, but you can have terrible MMA wrestling.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I wanted to play football, and my football coach told me if I wanted to be a football player, I should wrestle. That's why I started to wrestle.
Quote by -Rashad Evans
I remember the first time I fought somebody with a name and that was Tito Ortiz. I didn't start fighting until like the second round because I was like, 'Oh my God, that's Tito Ortiz. That's Tito Ortiz from TV. Look how big his head is, damn.'
Quote by -Rashad Evans
When people are overlooking somebody like Phil Davis, it's a dangerous thing.
