Liddell is this sport biggest star, no doubt about it and he is also the best LHW ever (ppl can question that, but no other fighter has wins over fighters such as Ortiz, Babalu and Couture (two KO losses for each one) and victories over Belfort, Horn, Randleman, Wandi, Vernon White, Murilo Bustamante and others). He is in my opinion the best fighter ever to fight for the UFC and one of the best in the history of this sport (along with Fedor and Couture). I’m a huge Liddell fan, I recgonize it, but, for sure, he is not a worst fighter and champion (if he gets the title back) than Machida, Thiago Silva or anyone else in this division. He is better than 99% of the fighters out there. The LHW belt will be in good hands (again, if he wins it back).

And pleae guys, stop saying that Rampage needs an immediate rematch with Griffin, he underestimated his opponent and paied the price. It’s not like it was an accident like Mir vs. Sylviaor Couture vs Belfort. He needs to start climbing back the ladder.

WOW! Have you ever been so completely sure about something and been 100% wrong? Well, that’s me right now. Sorry guys!!!! I for some reason could have sworn they had fought 3 times already as sure as I know the sky is blue. I have absolutely no idea where that particular case of the stupids came from, but my apologies. Christ, I think I need a drink. Anyway, my bad X 1,000. Thanks for the correction.

rashad evans is one boring – overrated? – dude. lays on top and does nothing to improve position even when the opponent’s guard is wide open. iceman better beat him or else he’ll lay his way to the lhw title belt.

See, I completely disagree with that.
Yes, the first fight was a complete beating and the second fight was a complete flop for Liddell (he made a huge error and Rampage capitalised on it).

I’d say the first fight would hold more meaning, except for the fact that it happened ages ago. If we can generally discount Anderson Silva’s losses so many years ago (ala Ryo Chonan) then surely we can discount Chuck’s loss to Rampage in 2003?

The second fight, Chuck just got caught. Just like Tim Sylvia got caught in his first fight with Arlovski. Just like GSP got caught in his first fight with Matt Serra. There’s no reason why he can’t come back and win the next fight now, is there.

There’s nothing about Rampage that should be unbeatable for Chuck. It’s different to Tito Ortiz and Shamrock. Tito had better cardio, more speed, better wrestling, better jiujitsu, probably better striking. Chuck and Rampage’s advantages are less defined in those areas.

If you think Rampage will most definitely batter Chuck next time round and you’re willing to make an 8:1 odd bet with me (I can imagine Tito/Shamrock III being similar) then feel free to contact me.

May i reccomend to anybody betting on this event, Yoshida is a perfect bet to take, he will dominate Karo, and he is a big underdog on the betting lines
