#2) Former UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin
UFC 92 was the biggest night of Rashad Evans' MMA career as he became the new light heavyweight champion. It was another significant moment for the promotion as the TUF season one winner and TUF season two winners competed in the main event.
It was an entertaining bout that saw both fighters have their moments. Griffin did well with his leg-kicks in the opening rounds and forced Evans to change his stance on a few occasions. But, 'Suga' held his own and found success using his jab and powerful hooks.
It was evident that Evans needed a big performance in the third-round to change the momentum of the fight. That's what happened as he dropped Griffin with a straight-right and finished him with ground-and-pound to become the new champion.
#1) Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell
Evans' win over Chuck Liddell was arguably the most significant of his UFC career. It was a massive opportunity for him to prove himself against the biggest star in the sport at the time.
'Suga' came into the fight with a 11-0-1 MMA record and having recently defeated TUF season three winner Michael Bisping. 'The Iceman' was coming off a unanimous decision win over Wanderlei Silva that snapped a two-fight losing skid. Both were looking to get into title contention and a big win could make a strong argument.
Evans maintaining the distance and avoiding Liddell's power didn't make for a very entertaining first round. But he made up for it in the second round. After having success landing a left-jab, 'Suga' connected with a devastating right-hand that knocked 'The Iceman' out immediately. Liddell wasn't the same after that as he would lose his next three bouts by KO/TKO and retire in 2010.
