NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2007 I don't know if its me, but it looks like Rampage Jackson just threw that right hook outta nowhere It's called counter punching, and taking advantage of Liddell's mistake/miscalculation. On sherdog.com they have an interview with Chuck's trainer, and he was hesitant to say it, but he went ahead and said that he specifically told Chuck not to go to the body from the outside, because it left him wide open for a counter punch. Well Chuck did it anyway and paid the price... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ced 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2007 Does anybody have a clip/GIF of Keith Jardine getting mauled by Houston Alexander? That was one of the most brutal series of punches and one knee I've seen. I thought Jardine was going to fall dead after the first uppercut, but he somehow got back to his feet and kept getting punished. The way he fell with the mouthpiece falling out...man... Props to Alexander though. Aside from getting rocked fist, that was one hell of a way to make a UFC debut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2007 Too bad he's 36. He could easily be marketed to high heaven if he backed it up. He's about as solid physically as you can get at 205 and he has a quiet, confident thug persona that could translate very well. But he's too old for a rookie.

He can easily pass for in his late 20's, he looks in freak physical shape, he is jacked the fuck up. If he stays in shape and doesn't run into injurys he can have a pretty long MMA career, despite his age. And he isn't a rookie, he's been in MMA since 2001 despite his lack of MMA fights. He looks like he can go for a good 7 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2007 LA Times.com Liddell got $500,000 while Jackson got $450,000, which includes a $225,000 winners bonus. Rampage wants that paper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

randomguy 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 Over the weekend I went to a friend's place for Memorial Day and interacted with Joe Average American instead of my normal nerd crowd. It was strange, all the guys there were talking about the UFC. It was pretty clear that most of them were very recent fans, Liddel was basically the only guy they'd ever heard of. I've been reading about how UFC is becoming mainstream but this was the first evidence of it I've seen personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 I was watching the press conference the other day and Chuck mentioned he has a 45 day suspension. Anyone know what that's about? SOP - there's a mandatory suspension if you get KO'ed or submitted. I think Chuck was declared fine medically, otherwise his suspension would be longer.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 There should be extra time added on for "Ass-Whopped by a Black Man". Speaking of, it was a good night for the brothas. Thomas, Martin, Alexander and Rampage all take down whitey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looks like a gym beast, but I haven't heard shit about his athletic background. I'm guessing he has some sort of boxing background, because he calls himself a boxer.
