Chuck Liddel Vs Rashad Evans - KNOCKOUT video at UFC 88.
Rashad Evans, after not having landed many strikes, suddenly connected with a punishing overhand right punch that knocked Chuck Liddell out. Liddell made the same mistake he made when he lost his light heavyweight belt last year to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. He went to throw an uppercut and Evans caught him with a booming overhand right. The win will zoom Evans to the top of the division and places him squarely among the UFC’s elite at 205 pounds. Liddell has lost three of his last four fights.
With his stunning one-punch knockout victory over Chuck Liddell at this past Saturday’s “UFC 88: Breakthrough” event, Rashad Evans has claimed top contender’s status in the UFC and has been granted a title shot with current 205-pound champ Forrest Griffin.
UFC President Dana White confirmed in the post-event press conference that Evans will get the immediate title shot — one that was all but promised to Liddell.
White wouldn’t release a date for the upcoming championship tilt, but he made it very clear Evans had earned his shot.
