Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2007 Chuck has been killing everybody. Rampage dropped a split decison to Lindland which many will argue he lost. Before that he struggled to put away fucking Hirotaka Yokoi. I like Rampage and all but Chuck is the overwhelming favorite for a reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2007 It really depends on how Rampage fights. If he tries to technically box Liddell, he's going to get smashed. If he relies on his power, speed, boxing ability and his chin (Which is actually DAMNED strong despite being KO'd by both Silva and Shogun. They had to work for that) to overwhelm Liddell to set up the slam, then he's got a chance. He has to use almost the same strategy as their first fight, because Liddell hasn't fought anyone since whose used it. It really depends on HOW Rampage fights. If he fights like he did against Eastman, he's going to get KO'd. I'm predicting Chuck in about Round 3 by TKO or KO. None of the results will really shock me though.

Guest Report post Posted May 26, 2007 I think Rampage will KO Chuck in the middle of the 2nd round. I'm not hedging my bets though, this is a great matchup and it's too close for me to pick a definitive winner. Hence my, "I think" prediction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2007 I think the opening round will decide it. Like Hawk said, if the Jackson who almost got caught by Marvin Eastman shows up, he's going to sleep early. If he uses his jab to set up the hooks and get in close, he's got a chance of either catching Chuck with an uppercut or getting a bodylock or clinch which could lead to a slam. If Rampage is taking this I don't see him finishing Chuck until the third, maybe fourth round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your opinion is worthless if you think Shogun actually knocked out Rampage. ...Whazzat? He only barraged Rampage with fifty thousand fricken knees in the corner until Rampage couldn't STAND anymore. If that hadn't been stopped, Rampage would have been knocked out exactly how he he was against Silva. So I suppose I should have put "TKO", but that was pretty much as close to a KO as you're going to fucking get with a ref stop. Inless you honestly don't think Rampage got his ass kicked that night, if so...I dunno what to tell you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inless you honestly don't think Rampage got his ass kicked that night, if so...I dunno what to tell you. Shogun broke Rampage's ribs less than a minute into a 5 minute fight. Rampage wasn't even close to being knocked out because Shogun wasn't even aiming for his head. He repeatedly kneed Rampage in his injured ribs until Rampage finally sat down in the corner and waved the fight off while taking one good soccer kick to the face. That's nowhere near a knockout. It was a tko due to injury, same as Shogun's loss to Coleman except Rampage actually tried to fight through his injury. That's not to say I'm saying Shogun should have fought through his, but Rampage's loss looked a lot worse just because of what he decided to do. Shogun would have been annihilated by Coleman if he had to defend himself for 3-4 more minutes with a broken elbow. Rampage was fully conscious for the entire fight.

Guest Report post Posted May 27, 2007 As fun as it is to rag on Tito, he is one of the guys, if not the guy that took the UFC to where it was just a year ago. It's gotten bigger since, that's why I only say a year ago. For that accomplishment, I respect Tito. A lot of you underestimate the impact that Tito had on getting MMA more popular down here, since he was from the area and all. I became a fan because of Tito, I'll admit. And it's the same for a hell of a lot of people in the LA area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
