[edit] Nickname
During the broadcast of Ultimate Fight Night 8, Rashad was announced as "Sugar" Rashad Evans. I noticed that an edit was reverted which added this to his name. Is there some sort of policy against this, or did the editor who reverted it (Sue Anne) just think it was vandalism? I can understand if this is the case since I don't think it's a very widely known nickname, but since he was announced this way, I think it should be included. I'll go ahead and put it back, but if there's a policy against it, could you please post it here so that I (and others) know in the future? Capmaster 05:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
If there is any question about verifiability, etc.: I personally attended the event (sitting in Row B, Seat 1 in Section 205), and not only did the announcer refer to him as "Sugar Rashad Evans" both before and after the fight, but T-shirts to that effect were printed up, one of which was given to me. Photos of various individuals wearing the same shirt — including Keith Jardine — can be seen on any of a number of mixed-martial-arts-related message boards.

- I'm the one that initially reverted the change, and I apologize for the error. Given the vandalism that happens on the article, and that I was a few days behind on watching UFC Fight Night, I didn't know that he was officially using it as his nickname. --Sue Anne 01:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
