He is washed up... ITS ONE LOSS in like 4 years. I love this… the same mentality that most people on MMA boards/forums had when Hughes got KOd is the same stance people are taking with Chuck.

Chuck could be in trouble with the new bulked up 205 division, and his underconditioning, and aging. But we cant say he hand picked his fights. Chuck has fought tough dudes throught his career: Monson, Vitor, Randleman, babalu 2, tito 2, randy 3, rampage 2, alistar overeem, Jose "pele" landi. If thats a hand picked career then he's 1 crazy dude! [/quote] Yeah I don't think most poeple are saying that aobut Chuck, unless they don't konw what they are talking about. Chuck is the man, would fight anybody anytime. He wasnt fed people that fit well with his style, it was coincidance, at that time period those grapplers were the best contendars in the division, the people that could beat him were in Pride, Chuck is the man. He is gonna smash Jardine. [quote post="2907"]But chuck has fought tough people in his career, Im just a lil pissed that people seem to be putting him in that pussy category Tito is in.

The fight will be awesome, with tons of feeling out, but I see Shogun having a disappointing debut. It's just a gut feeling, though I usually enjoy Griffin's fights. And no, I'm not a TUF newby.

I like your Forrest prediction. Now that I think about it: 1) Noone is giving Forrest any chance against Shogun- ala GSP-Serra, Jardine-Alexander, Minotauro-Herring (c'mon, Herring threw the fight). 2) Pride stars have been very jittery in their UFC debut: Herring, Rampage, Minotauro (at the hands of a settled down Herring). Only Crocop looked like Crocop but Sanchez did nothing try to take it to him like Gonzaga did. 3) Forrest is an experienced UFC scrapper with excellent cardio. He's bloody at the end of many of his fights, win or lose. Shogun looks pretty clean at the end of most of his fights. He's used to easily destroying his opponents. I still have to go with Shogun on this one but we may all be in for a big shock. Punch Forrest, punch![/quote] Completely agree with your idea about the Herring fight. In my mind there are two things that suggest this was a fixed fight. A). The ref should have stopped the fight. I've not talked to one person who would have had a problem with a stoppage. Plus, I've seen refs call fights where the fighters were clearly in better shape than Nog was in after the head kick. B). Herring did nothing to finish the fight after Nog was clearly in another world. He had the chance, and did nothing...and he's not a weak or unaggressive fighter. I hope I'm wrong (about the fix), but what else can be said? [quote comment="117907"][quote comment="117687"][quote comment="117673"]

All of you wankers need to go pi$$ off![/quote] Maybe cause some of us feel that pride had a much stronger LHW division and when a good(not even top) Pride fighter like Rampage takes Chuck out easily we have the right to feel that other better pride fighters would do the same. Chuck had his day, made his money & it's time to move over. ONCE AGAIN THIS IS NOT A HEADLINE FIGHT....IT'S ALMOST AS BAD AS 72'S. No pride main event ever featured two fighters who had just lost.

There's just too much money at stake. They may ask some of their best guys, like Chuck, what their input is, but in the end its going to be Dana and Joe's decision.
