Hes best when he is backpedaling and counter-punching, hes at his worst when he is the aggressor. Thats how a Rashad vs Chuck fight would go, Chuck would try to counter-punch with RAshad and knock him out if he actually tried to exhacnge blows with Rashad he would lose by points, the difference maker in a fight between them would be Rashads chin.. if its made of Irons like Rampages then Chuck would be in for a long fight.. cuz its hard for Chuck to fend off a fighters striking with his bad defense and defend takedowns at the same time, especially a GREAT wrestler like Rashad.. the guys Chuck has faced, average strikers.. he can focus on the takedown D cuz these guys arent gonna effect him striking.. when hes faced guys that can strike with great wrestling its always gave him problems, and rightfully so..

Chuck has faced his share of strikers much better than rashad vitor/Overeem/mezger/ even babalu has decent striking everyone is a "average" striker in ufc lh compared to chuck. I just dont see anyway that Evans could outstrike him or keep him down if he gets him down. Maybe in 3 or 4 years but if chuck is still around he wont be in his prime so we will probably never know
