thanks guys good stuff…but i am still out of the loop with the lindland situation, can someone inform me

WOW, id love to see Chuck vs Cro Cop………..ID be scared cuz idk if he could beat Cro-Cop, but if you think Chuck’s a star now can you imagine if he ever beat Cro-Cop!? He’d become the GOD of MMA.

Liddell will get crushed. I have serious doubts he can handle Rampage.

MMAWeekley has Chuck and Jackson fighting in UFC 71…So I guess that’s not happening if Dana is going to give them each one more fight…

I also want Matt Lindland to come back to the UFC because I do not think that he is the top middleweight in the game…I have watched a ton of his fights and have never really been impressed. Sure his record is good but I guess I just need to see him fight bigger names….And him fighting Fedor coming up is a joke…

Question? What happened to Stephan Bonner?

Another Question? I love Forrest Griffin, I think he is the man..But don’t you think that Rashad deserves to fight someone like Tito before Griffin does? Or even Rashad v.s. Babalu, with his winning streak you would think they would give him better fights to eventually fight Chuck…That is if he can get past Tito and Babalu…

Anywho, food for thought….

Bonnar is suspended for roids…And i think Rashad is content not fighting top guys, hes still learning the game, and improving, thats why i think all this talk about him being a top contender is a joke…you put him in there with a guy with good hands and good takedown defense, or someone extremely good on the ground, he will have his hands full…Tito, Rampage, Babalu, Forrest, Jardine all would beat him im sure

“…the “Iceman” is willing to eventually….”

I am also “willing to eventually” walk up to Lil-Poopi and flip him off for the way he was trash talking about Monson.

-The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 5 will be the best season yet
He says this everytime….
-We might see a Hermes Franca-Sean Sherk fight
Wow, glad the #1 contender gets a title shot…. Wait for Gomi
-Brandon Vera has one more fight and is currently negotiating with him — Vera is insane if he leaves the UFC
Happy to hear this
-If Zuffa purchases PRIDE FC, he would try and run it as a separate promotion in Asia
Smart business
-He does not “get’ the IFL at all … MMA is not a team sport and it never will be
I dont get it, and never will
-Evan Tanner, Stephan Bonnar and Paul Buentello are welcome back to the UFC
2/3 I am glad to hear about.
-He will not rule out the return of Matt Lindland to the UFC
Then he needs to make peace with Militich first
-Expect the UFC to bring in more international talent
Shocking ~|~
-Cro Cop gets winner of Sylvia-Couture in the summer if he gets past Gonzaga
If he gets past Gonzaga….
-Chuck and Rampage get one more fight each before facing each other
THANK GOD!!!!
-He was half-ass joking when he had the exchange with Rashad about him fighting his friend Keith Jardine. However, at the end of the day these guys will fight their mother for the right amount of money.
Bullshit and no bullshit
-We might see champions from the WEC and UFC one day fight one another
Great, Liddell vs the guy on your high school wrestling team
-The HBO deal is still a work in progress, including who will announce
I thought about this when I heard Showtime was forming EliteXC. HBO has more money than God Himself.
He and Tito will box on April 24 possibly for charity on the Internet
GO DANA!!!!

Liddell vs. CroCop? Never happen. Somebody has to lose that one (probably Liddell) and Dana White wants to protect those two cash cows. Liddell has been an ATM-machine for the UFC. If Jackson or someone else in the LH division beats Liddell, then fine, White has a new ATM-machine. But he wants to keep these two guys separated. One is a champion and the other will be the champion of another division before the year’s out. Best not to tarnish either’s image unnecessarily since they can both sell lots of PPV buys.

And will somebody drag Evan Tanner and Matt Lindland back to the UFC before they’re cashing Social Security checks? Please?

Dana is the man, calling Vera nuts if he leaves the UFC. Why is Vera being so myopic? Anyway, hope to see Lindland back. I don’t care for Bonnar. Baroni? Hmm. I don’t think Liddell has anything to lose and a lot to gain if he fights CroCop. If he loses, so what, it only solidifies CroCop as the man. Can’t wait to see who else Dana signs, Fedor? Please?

Cro Cop will hammer liddell. Chuck is real good at what he does, but Cro cop does the same thing but faster and harder.

yeah but if you notice, after Randleman knocked out Cro Cop back in the day, who was the guy in Randlemans corner..im sure the same guy who picked apart Cro Cops weaknesses and helped train randleman…by the way it was chuck

Yea MMA Dude, I noticed that as well. I was confused, b/c I didn’t even know that the 2 of them train together. I assumed they had nothing to w/ each other after Chuck TKO’d Randleman a few years back.

Id just be excited to see Baroni back…

Lol, everyone counts out Chuck… It would be a good fight either way, and either fighter could win.

I will hardly ever say a fighter “got lucky” to win, but Randleman “GOT LUCKY” to knockout CC. One in a million shot. And this is the fight Joe Blowgums sites as reason to say CC has a suspect chin? Randleman hit him as hard as a man can and he still wasnt out until the GnP. You go 20 mins with Fedor and dont get knocked out, you have a chin.

Btw, I dont think this fight will ever happen. It’s just DW putting shit out there to drum up excitement.
As an inside scoop for the hardcore fans, Dana told me via secure data link bounced of seven satellites and 15 IP redirects that after Hughes beats GSP and then Silva, he’ll be fighting CC for the HW title at UFC 80. ~\~

yeah suspect chin becuase he was knocked out by a guy with how many koes in mma? im not saying that randleman is better than cro cop, cro cop is by far better, but it wasnt lucky, it was capitalizing on a weakness…I beilieve it was probably chuck exposing that, not mark coleman or someone like that…And i do belive if someone like randleman can KO Cro cop, then guys like Liddell, Arlovski, and Sylvia..have a good chance too..not saying they will because he is a smarter fighter now, but if they hit him clean he will go down, hes not a machine

MMA DUDE

Linland was released from his contract because he wore an item of clothing with a logo that they weren’t allowed to show on T.V(something along those lines of that). If Cro Cop fights Chuck then he’ll pick him apart like he did Silva.

thanks Bang, thats pretty retarded

Lindland is scheduled to fight Fedor with BodogFIGHT’s PPV on April 14th.. I think I heard that Lindland went to BODOG for 3fight/25MILLION contract..

haha what Luppers, i hope thats not tue…Matt Lindland 25 million?? No one is payed that much, especially someone as boring to watch as lindland. How is Fedor fighting in Bodog though??

Chuck vs Cro Cop, WOW Dana wouldnt just say this unless he was serious. This fight would be a huge money maker any fan would love to see this fight and as we all know Dana and the fighter love the Bling. This also shows that Chuck is serious when he says that all he wants are the best fighters and after he beats Rampage then I guess he’ll focus on the Heavyweight. Bringing back the NY bad ass would be sweeet, I would tune in to watch this guy get interviewed because hes friggin hilarious. WEC and UFC cross-over title fight??? did I read that correctly. I was watching WEC last night at about 2:20am and was think if any of the fighters could make it in the UFC. From the fights that I say many of the fighters still looked amature, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.

Chuck wants Cro Cop? You know what they say: Be careful what you wish for…

oh my god, chuck is dumb.

He would/will get smashed.

THey are carbon copies… just one is bigger and faster.

Oh and has a smidge better wind.

MMA Dude…not up on things outside of UFC are ya?
http://www.bodogfight.com/ppv/

And yes, Im pretty sure it was 3 fights $25million.

“here lies Chuck “the ice man” Liddell- hero, champion, and loving father, Who was tragicaly struck down in the prime of his life by a Croation Monster by the name of Mirco…may he rest in peace.”

(moments after the fight as medics rushed to the cage…minutes before Chuck was pronounced DOA, mirko had only this to say- “if he dies, he dies”)

Chuck is good, but he should have known that Wandy died after getting ktfo by CroCop and the Wandy today is a clone. Better have a clone ready.

Chuck vs Cro Cop would be a great fight im not a liddle fan but I wouldnt count the man out. And i want to see Babalu kick tito ass!

Chuck vs. Cro Cop would kick a@@!!! Biggest PPV buy ever and will remain the biggest ever. this could only happen if liddell beats rampage and cro cop beats couture (or, and that’s a BIG or, Sylvia).

Chuck vs. Cro Cop…..Dana, just talking trash. Won’t happen untill Chuck looses his belt. Or Dana brings him out of retirement to cash in ala Randy Couture.

LOL! Good one Mr. Murda!! Crop Cop murdered Wandy Sila - Wandy Silva would murder Chuck Liddell - Crop Cop would send Chuck Liddell to Iraq with one leg kick!

its 3 fights 2.5 million for lindland

Geez .. some people really believe that Cro Cop has a weak chin after that punch by Randleman? First off, Randlemans less than impressive KO-History results from him lack of striking technique, not his punch-power. But - as we have seen - one can make up that lack of technique with sheer luck, and thats all that was to it, a one in a million shot and he landed. Then again, the lights didn’t go out for mirko, it too some GNP and you show me one fighter thats not shutting eye after that. (Ok, maybe Minotauro could take it .. he’s a freak of nature)

As for if CC vs. Liddell ever happens: my money is on All American. Either Chuck looses his title or they fly both in from their retirement homes in 30 years.

thanks gasmanhed, that makes a lot more sense…..as far as Chuck and Cro Cop goes, i would love to see it, i like how in Pride more people move around weights, but its also bad considering how mothings ever a title match.

Pride has only two weight classes, 205 and under, and over 205. But in Japan, the tourneys they call Grand Prixs are as valued titles as what we call championships. Wandy would have rather been Open Weight Grand Prix champion than hold the current middleweigth championship. Too bad Crocop killed him that night and he had to be replaced with a clone. Liddell better buy that insurance, too.
BTW, we all want to see Wandy and Chuck fight. But a greater fight would be Rua vs Chuck. But either one would put a stop to this nonsense that Liddell is the best 205er in the world.

feel sorry for chuck

You people are crazy if you think anyone would pay Lindland that much money for 3 fights. No one in MMA makes that money. Maybe 2.5 mil but not 25.

nice movie..

MMA Dude !!
I’m interested who was in Randlemans corner after Mirko walked over him in the other fight ??

crofun, the only thing that sucks about that version of CC’s highlights is there’s almost no fight sound, like that sound of Barnett’s eyesocket exploding, or that crack of Wandy’s ribs in their first fight. Good luck Chuck.

It’s all BS. Dana White also promised Chuck would fight Wandy last year… Dana runs his mouth like Don King, he’d cut his own mother’s throat and lie about it to Mother Teresa if he thought it would sell more tix and PPV slots.
Chuck and CroCop will never happen, just like Chuck and Wandy never will.

Chuck Liddell is a badass and will avenge his loss against rampage johnson or whatever his name is. Liddell has gotten a lot better since then, and you can tell by his second pounding against Ortiz. But I still don’t think he’s ready or will ever be ready for Cro Cop. It would be a spectacular fight though.

This would be an oustanding stand up fight between the two. I hope it happens in the future.

Frye I have to disagree with you. Liddell is already ready for Cro Cop. If Kevin Randleman knocked Cro Cop out and Liddell knocked Randleman down, then it is possible Liddell can do the same to Cro Cop.

cro cop would kill chuck. henderson is comming to the ufc to fight chuck if he beats jackson. that will be the biggest pay day in mma history until cro cop fights feder again.henderson almost always fights guys that are 20 30 pounds heaver than him and always takes them down and pound them he creates a vary hard time for chuck

Probably. But I’m just saying that if Chuck Liddell got lucky like Randleman did, then he would win.

Im a huge fan of chuck… the man is my hero. but people, cro cop? do you know why he lost to fedor? cause fedor is more talented and agressive fighter. but cro cops strength, and most of all the power and cleansiness of his leg punches are god damn deadly. hes more advanced and expirienced fighter now, not sure if fedor could stand up to him now with his standard game plan. one more thing, I love you Randy, but please loose from Sylvia. dont wanna watch you getting killed by cro cop… youre nice old guy.

the best fight would be and will be henderson vs chuck.I dont see chuck stoping the take down. no one henderson has battled has been able to stop him from a takedown.and he has never been knocked out

“I’m not trying to knock you out, I just know I will.”

Chuck Liddell

Your a joke. that has got to be the dumbest comment ever. CRO-COP AND LIDELL? Come on. do you seriously believe Lidell would even stand a chance. I can tell your probably one of those canadians who watched a couple UFC fights and thinks Lidell is the best in the world. Lidell is SICK, hes a beast. but Cro-Cop, man hes on another level, 2 levels ahead of lidell. His striking with his arms is about 3 times better, as for Cro-Cops kicks. I dont think i have to say anything. He rips heads off. Lidell, i got mad respect for you, your the shit. but fighting Cro-Cop, your not just digging your own grave, your lying in the casket.

Cro-Cop’s kicks are like Ivan Drago’s steroid punch in Rocky IV - only Cro-Cop doesn’t need the roids to get the devastation going.

Chuck is a great fighter, but it’s just not smart for him to go up another weightclass to take on a monster like Mirko. If Chuck wants to beat on an average Heavyweight, let him… but he’d be risking his future earning ability by thinking he can handle someone of Cro-Cop’s caliber.

It’s like GSP thinking that just because he destroyed Matt Hughes he can do the same thing to Chuck if he bumped up to Light Heavyweight. I’m big on GSP, but he’s not taking Chuck down anytime this decade.

Chuck has power that can ruin the Light Heavyweights… but it isn’t going to have the same effect on a larger opponent like Cro-Cop.

Maybe if Chuck had the type of attack that Randy Couture does it could work. Someone who can take it to the mat like Randy does can use his skills to take out a larger opponent… but you can ramp up your striking power for the larger opponent.

Fedor will kill them all. look at the wins and losses. he beat cro cop and pretty much anyone he fights

I think this would be a super fight and would love to see it, I doubt cro cop has a walk in the park with the ice man, it will be the fight of the year.

CRO COP will kill ICEMAN in first 2 min. of the fight so for iceman is better to don’t talk too much.

henderson chuck would be the best fight henderson has never been knocked out and always takes evrybody down he faces including heavyweights

KEN SHAMROCK VS RANDY CUTURE = OLD PEOPLE FIGHTING WILL BE INTERESTING.

When will the UFC/Pride ever forget thier egos long enough to get some type of fighter exchange system a-la european soccer, so that we can see some of these “dream matchups” before the best fighters get old. I want to see what Fedor does in the UFC, but I have a feeling that he loves being close to home too much to sign a multi-fight deal with the UFC. Maybe if they do all of his PPV’s from the far east.

BTW I think I read earlier someone state that PFC has only two divisions, that is incorrect. When Pride got rid of Bushido, they added the two lighter weight classes to the show, for a total of 4 weight classes. Thats why Dan Henderson currently holds two belts.

ufc vs pride if thay can make that will be good.

Anyone who thinks that cro cop is better than Chuck is a complete JOKE! Chucks kicks are just as deadly as cro cops and his hands are just as fast. The thing with chuck is that he is great at finding the smallest weakness in his opponet and can even find it while he’s fighting, I have not seen many fighters able to do the same. I doubt people will remember cro cop 40 years down the road but anyone who follows ufc will remember chuck. If chuck wants to fight cro cop I’m sure it will happen, may the best pre-pared man win.

shade, would Chuck be able to break Bob Sapp’s ocular ring? could he rip off W. Silva’s head? Can he break ribs on demand? No. Cro Cop is technical, accurate, fast, and very strong. Not to mention that he’d be at his natural weight. I don’t give Chuck very much of a chance.

People refer to Chuck kicks but when have you actually seen him use them? Please compare the highlight reels of Chuck and Cro Cop before declaring Chuck a K-1 fighter…

While Chuck is (or claims to be) a kickboxer, he is not nearly on the level of Cro Cop, who faced the best kickboxers in K-1 and defeated them all but the best kickboxer of all times: Ernesto Hoost.

Mirko cro cop is a good fighter but the UFC lick his arse out. Hes not THAT good, he got knocked the fuk out by kevin randleman who randy couture has beaten, and randleman is just a wrestler. yeh his kicks r great but so is chucks over hand right.

Fedor emilianenko also kiled mirko cro cop and will probably do the ame vs chuck. remember that name. Think of Fedor Emelianenko as the terminator of MMA

the ‘2pac’ guy doesnt know what he is talking about

[quote comment=”5399″]Liddell will get crushed. I have serious doubts he can handle Rampage.[/quote]
Chuck will murder him. Stupid comment. When’s the last time Rampage has supprised you ?

[quote comment=”32618″]the ‘2pac’ guy doesnt know what he is talking about[/quote]
I agree!~

To white rhino dud you are on wrong website.

To MIKE please don’t comment anything go back to school.

I just want to see who backs down. Cro cop or Liddell. Face to face. Fuckin awesome. Throw in Wanderlei please. ZOMG.

Liddell pwns. He will punch cro cop in his face and if necessary kick fedor in his nuts. Noone will stop Liddell. He would crush Randy (of which I give much love). Liddell will have his way with you and your family.

Liddell is not killer he will be killed by CRO COP>

this just in CRO COP knocked out by GONZAGA first round….

liddell would get killed by crocop. No way lidell kick are as good as crocop’s. Im a lidell fan but I have to admit crocop would own lidell.

if gonzaga a jujitsu specialist can k.o. cro cop how can liddell not? one right hand that chuck lands on cro cop and his ass would be out. cro cop would just annoy chuck with his stupid leg kicks.

gracieman your kinda ignorant when it comes to mma buddy, if you know anything about cro cop, he got knocked out by randleman and hes a world class WRESTLER, in the rematch crocop SUBMITTED a WRESTLER, its MMA, anything can happen. and i love how you say stupid leg kicks, leg kicks that shatter heads

People refer to Chuck kicks but when have you actually seen him use them? Please compare the highlight reels of Chuck and Cro Cop before declaring Chuck a K-1 fighter…

While Chuck is (or claims to be) a kickboxer, he is not nearly on the level of Cro Cop, who faced the best kickboxers in K-1 and defeated them all but the best kickboxer of all times: Ernesto Hoost.

Chuck’s smart enough to know that using kicks against tackdown artists like(Randy, Tito …)gets you dumped on your head. You will see Chuck kick when he fights Cro Cop. Maybe CC should learn when not to use the kicks(Gonzaga). UFC isn’t kickboxing and everyone forgets Chuck is a div. 1 wrestler.

this just in CRO COP knocked out by GONZAGA first round….

Hey Joe, you’re psychic but, you’re also dyslexic.(you got the name backwards)

rampage vs henderson will be a war. if shogun visits the ufc then its over 4 every1. he will take the belt from who ever is holding it. once they bring fedor to ufc all of the us will realize that the best fighter of our generation comes from russia not randy chuck sylvia rampage crocop stand with this machine. the best ground and pound in the world.

Lets make that fight happen bothe coming off losses and both being stan up dudes, lets get her done, on this one the way both have been fighting would probably go to decision I cant beleive lidell lost to jardine with that akward gorilla style
