In the second installment of 'Storytime with Rashad' Brian Campbell sits down with UFC Hall of Famer 'Suga' Rashad Evans to relive his career and break down his first four fights in the UFC. After winning 'The Ultimate Fighter: Season 2' and signing a UFC contract, Rashad took four fights in under 300 days. Rashad began making a name for himself by defeating Sam Hoger in his first UFC fight in the light heavyweight division (14:00). Next up was TUF Season 1 runner-up Stephan Bonnar, who many expected to run through Rashad (36:40). Heading into the Jason Lambert fight, Rashad was facing a ton of scrutiny about his lack of finishing ability... How did the lack of respect fuel Rashad ahead of this fight (61:30)? We finish off the episode with arguably Rashad's most famous head-kick KO of Sean Salmon. What was it like headlining his first UFC event and winning the knockout of the night bonus (1:13:45)? Tune in to 'Storytime with Rashad Evans Part Two: Bursting on the scene' for stories that have never been heard before.-----------------------'State of Combat' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
