Chuck lost again, twice with Rampage. Silva and Chuck can now fight,they both have lost their belts.I want to see Shogun versus Chuck,Shogun would wear him out and ko him.Fedor the pride champ would easily beat the Ufc heavywights.Ufc has alot of rules, Ufc fans dont see that.Pride has less rules, witch means you have to keep on your toes.When Chuck fought in Pride and he was near the ropes, they stoped it and moved him to the middle of the ring.Theirs no gate to hold on to or use to your advantage.In pride your not allowed to hold on to the ropes, like ufc fighters hold on to the octagon.Rampage took Chucks belt,Andersen Silva took Franklins Belt, both pride Fighters.Makes you think who's better, Pride-UFC.

I've seenthe first fight an i thought Chucks ribs were broken from those brutal elbows to the body. But i think Chuck is now a different fighter an i do think he'll come through this one, I think by knockout aswell.

This will be hard for you all to accept but have you seen Chuck fight a striker of equal ability in the past 3 years? The only person he's fought since Rampage with arguable striking ability was Vernon White. Since then, he has only fought grapplers. Chuck is the UFC golden-boy & the big money draw. Dana is protecting that. I challenge all u Chuck fans to watch the Chuck vs Rampage fight objectively. Chuck got pwned. Rampage beat him clearly. Now, Rampage is not without fault. He has shown a proven weakness to the Muay Thai Clinch hence his losses to Wandi & Shogun. I challenge you Rampage haters to watch both Wandi vs Rampage fights objectively. You will clearly see that Rampage was dominating both fights before falling victim to the thai clinch & his own recklessness. My overall point is that Chuck has not been truly challenged in a long time. Although his take-down defense is stellar he is still succeptable to clinches & foot sweeps which Rampage excels at. Rampage has a tested iron jaw. It has always taken several solid strikes to KO rampage. Let's not forget, Rampage ate several solid punches from Chuck in their 1st fight & has been quoted as saying that Chuck doesnt hit as hard as everyone thinks. Bottom line.....we can speculate as much as we want but both fighters are equally capable of beating one another outside of a punchers chance. We can expect to get our moneys-worth when this fight airs. My papers on Rampage! It’s obvious that many of you are die hard Chuck fans and therefore are talking with your hearts.

Crocop vs Orlovski Crocop vs Couture Orlovski vs Couture Couture vs Liddel 4 An I know Tim Sylvia has just lost badly to Couture but I do expect him to bounce back from that and be challenging for the title soon. People seem to right him off but I think someone who has beat Orlovski twice deserves respect. I tend to watch UFC more than pride but I do like the look of Fedor, does anyone know when he's fighting next?

Like Mike said in a fight with a striker vs ground and pounder the striker has limited time to take his chance before eventually be taken down and dominated. Unless the striker has a really good take down defence that is, an I use the example of Chuck Liddel vs Tito Ortiz as Tito tried on several accassions to take Liddel down but Chucks sprawl was awesome and Tito was forced into a strike game. In response to the earlier post I think Chuck Liddel would come through fights with Vanderlei Silva and Shogun with relative ease. I think Chucks way too strong at the moment and unless some of the big name heavyweights opt to step down to light heavy I can't see anyone challenging him for a long time...
