And I really believe that the only reason Rashad doesn't attempt to finish fights, and instead chooses to fight "safe" ones is because he wants nothing more than to keep his perfect record in tact. He doesn't want to run the risk of getting caught with a big punch or a properly timed submission. The only problem is, a perfect record doesn't mean anything if the fans don't like your fights. I personally would rather watch figure skating than a Rashad Evans fight, considering a figure skater has a better chance of falling on their face and getting K.O'ed than a fighter who steps in the ring with Evans. I think that fight would be either a really fast, exciting knockout by Bisping, or a really long, drawn out slumberfest victory for evans. I believe a MUCH better fight would be Bisping/ Griffin seeing as how they both won the light heavyweight divisions in both of their respective shows. It would be an absolute standup war that might even outshine the Griffin/ Bonnar slugfest.
