"Rashad Evans had a nightmare here today," says the simulator. And I have to agree. Anderson was embarrassed by losing to Rashad and continually looks to prove it was a fluke each and every time he fights him. He pulled out everything except the kitchen sink in this one. And his penis. He did not pull out his penis. But he did have one hell of a performance, and made Rashad look like a child.
