Chuck - Jackson 2 predictions?

What do you think?

It was a strange fight, the first one. Chuck looked listless, and rampage looked better than usual.

I would have picked chuck, as rampage hasn't looked great since, and chuck has. BUT, chuck didn't look too hot even stopping ortiz in his last fight. And he is 37.

How did he look in the 2 fights before Ortiz?

 

I have to pick Rampage to win. Guys who dominate the first fight usually win the rematch too unless the winner has become tottally shot.

 

This is my pick, as well.

 

Hard to say. Chuck's been knocking out wrestlers who think they can box like Sobral, Horn, Ortiz, etc. Rampage can box and wrestle and he got the better of Chuck in both. He may be the 'Nadal' to Chuck's 'Federer' at 205.::

 

I agree. Silva and Shogun had success with Chuck by using the muy thai clinch. Chuck stays way outside and doesn't do that.

 

I'm picking Liddell by KTFO late after a bunch of wrasslin on the canvas

 

Rampage is past his best...but he probably still has enough to beat Chuck's ass...

 

rampage by powerbomb.




:bears:

probably by late ko. While it's true that rampage is probably past his best, liddell didn't exactly looked stellar lately either. Plus, he's nearly 40, a cocaine addict and party too much

Liddell via KO. Rampage might have found god, but that bearded cunt took Jackson's wallet and balls in the process.

 

wtf are you talking about, rampage looked better then usual? at that time rampage was runnign through everyone, that was the prime of his career, he was consitantly looking that good and better, everyone knew chuck was gonna loose that fight

 

Rampage is going to fuck Chuck up something fierce.

 

Mass, I agree. I liked rampage a lot at the time. Are you denying he looked ESPECIALLY good against chuck, his best opponent at the time? He was impressive against randleman, but wasn't he coming off a close decision against bustamente?

At the time I didn't think rampage would just walk through chuck like he did, I thought it would be a pretty good, even fight.

And if you consider that his prime, well silva was not long after that, and silva battered him.

 

I dunno if Chuck was Rampage's best opponent @ the time. Sakuraba was, IMO.

 

^ That fight was fun ,i forgot how many times rampage slammed saku.

 

Should be a nice crowd at that PPV event

 

But didn't he lose that fight?

 

Whats your point, dunder head?

 

Chuck KO1

Rampage is a broken fighter, and Chuck really aint the guy to fix yourself against, especially not right now...Chucks in a zone kinda like Wandy was in a couple of years ago

 

I'm leaning towards Rampage by ground/pound stoppage in the 3rd round. Chuck has gotten lucky lately. He's been able to fight his fight against these 'wrestlers' like Horn, Sobral and Ortiz. None of those guys are strikers at all, no matter if they pretend to be.
Rampage's game is considerably different, his punching skills are far superior, his ground/pound is deadly, his slams are incredible, and his strength is respectable. He's had a few losses but seeing that this is a different world now, he may be rejuvenated and ready to give us some more of his best work. We counted out Randy Couture as well, and he made Tim "so-called elite striker' Sylvia his personal bitch.::
The fight is on!!!! Go Jackson!!!! :clap:
Chuck Liddell's age is creeping up on him. Almost 38 and trying to fight 5 high paced rounds will do him in. Let's see how good his 'boxing skills' are this time around. We already saw him get plastered badly in the first go-round and I see no improvements. All I see is a 'reputation' that puts fear into other fighters. Like CroCop 2 weeks ago, it all can be flushed on any given fight. Rampage is ready to go, despite Dana White trying to give his boy Chuck every possible advantage. We all know Rampage said he wanted 1 or 2 fights to get in-tuned to the cage/octagon environment and Dana would have none of it and already is putting what many people deem a 'rusty' Rampage into the octagon with a guy on a roll.
It may be a bad move by Dana. Consider the fact, Rampage wasn't born yesterday. When the fight is on, he's ready and willing, despite the circumstances.
Jackson in the 3rd to become the new light heavyweight champion of the UFC.

 

Hanzy, dude.....Rampage started his fighting career in the cage....he's had plenty of fights in a cage....His fight with Lindland was in the cage.....he wants a shot at Chucks belt, he takes in on Chucks terms

Dana's plan is ruined anyway....It all went to shit when Cro Cop got his head kicked off....If Cro woulda won that, he and Lidell would have been on a crash course

 

So obviously you're completely disregarding Randy Couture and Rampage Jackson?:dunno: There was no sure bet that CroCop would've beaten Randy, and it's no sure bet that Chuck is going to survive the wrath of Rampage. But that's just my opinion. Expect the unexpected in MMA, FourHooks. You're buying into Chuck's feared reputation. But eventually, everybody gets defeated sooner or later. Very likely Chuck's run comes to a complete end this month. It happened to Tyson, Ortiz, Couture, CroCop, Wandy, all of them. Chuck's gotten raped in the octagon and in the Pride ring. He's no f*cking machine. He's gotten dazed and knocked flat on his ass by a punch from Guy Mezger. He got absolutely mauled by Randy in the first fight and thrown all over the octagon, he was butchered by Rampage in Pride. Let's not go crazy on the old man. His time is coming to an end sooner than you think. Don't be shocked when it does. There aren't many guys in their late 30s who can stay at the top in any sport. And Chuck looked pretty mediocre against Ortiz in the rematch, just happens Ortiz is a joke with no real ability other than his ground and pound. Rampage has several tools he can use to beat Chuck both on the feet and on the ground.
Let's just wait and see what happens!

 

Rampage CAN beat Chuck. He's done it before, so there's no reason to work on a line to convince that way. Its not neccessary, because its fact.

I'm more interested in what anybody has seen in Jackson (whom I no longer call Rampage) since being slaughtered by Silva, to make people think he should win this fight? If you pick Jackson? Fine. But bare in mind that there is only the smallest of margins which makes the pick above board and its not something many will agree with, unless they're mooks.

 

no, just saying that was obviously Dana's best case scenario plan

 

and Hanzy, Chuck looked mediocre against Tito for the most part because Tito fought that fight from a shell....When he finally decided to open up a little bit, Chuck ended his night.....

I'm not markin out for Chuck, but what he's done of late is impressive as hell

and since I've jumped on his nuts, I'm sure he'll be the next to fall, just like my boys GSP and Mirko

 

If Dana worked in pro wrestling, then obviously yes. All would've been fine and dandy.::

 

I'm not denying that Chuck isn't tearing guys up in grand fashion. But I think there's a little more style and substance in Jackson compared to the guys Chuck's been facing off against, as of late.
Jackson has already proven that he can destroy Chuck. Our debate is mainly revolving around the 'What have you done for me lately' scenario. Chuck obviously has done alot since that day in 2003, and Jackson has done not so well. But he's still in the game and if he has his head on straight and fights to the best of his potential, he'll make life difficult for the champ.
We'll wait and see.

 

My point is, I guess I meant best beaten opponent, fucknuts.

 

Well that's kind of my point. Since being brutalized by Silva - twice - he's just not the same. He can still beat Chuck of course, we've seen him do it. But this time maybe Chuck is a safer bet.

Chuck KO 2

 

Hehe fucknuts ::

Go kill some Romanians, nutjob :notallthere: :bears:
