Chuck Liddel is a fighter who hides little. While other fighters are secretive about their gameplans, he’s pretty clear–he’s going for a knockout. At UFC 88 in September against Rashad Evans, nothing has changed in the desired outcome, but some adjustments are to be made stylistically. “Evans is a very different type of challenge because he is very fast, goes for takedowns, and has a mentality to try and take the fight into his comfort zone”, Liddell tells Yahoo Sports. “I won’t allow him to do that, I’ll pressure him for three rounds if I have to but I think I’ll knock him out.”
