UFC 5 - LIDDELL VS EVANS
The UFC 88 main event on September 6, 2008, at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, featured a highly anticipated light heavyweight clash between former champion Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell and the undefeated rising star Rashad Evans.
Chuck Liddell, 38 years old at the time, entered the bout as a moderate favorite with a record of 21-5. Known for his devastating knockout power and unorthodox striking style, Liddell was looking to cement his position as a top contender in the division. Fighting out of San Luis Obispo, California, and representing The Pit gym, the former champion stood at 6'2" with a 76.5" reach.
Rashad Evans, 28 years old and fighting out of Boca Raton, Florida, came into the fight as a moderate underdog with an impressive 11-0-1 record. A product of the Blackzilians Performance Institute, Evans was known for his wrestling background and improving striking skills. Standing at 6'0" with a 75" reach, Evans aimed to prove himself against one of the most iconic fighters in the sport.
The matchup presented an intriguing stylistic clash between Liddell's powerful striking and Evans' wrestling prowess. Fight fans eagerly anticipated whether the experienced veteran could add another knockout to his highlight reel or if the undefeated prospect could score the biggest win of his career.
With both fighters making weight - Liddell at 204 lbs and Evans at 205 lbs - the stage was set for an explosive main event that would have significant implications for the light heavyweight division.
