I'm taking Rampage.
Rampage doesn't start really fighting until he gets smacked a few good times, and Eastman never hit him at all really. Rampage is stronger, a better technical puncher, and has perhaps the best chin in all of MMA (just check out either of the beatings Wanderlei gave him.) Chuck hit Rampage with a few good shots in their first fight and Rampage walked right through them. Sucks too, because I'm actually starting to like Chuck, but we should have a new champ come Sunday morning. |
I DID notice that he took a LOT of hits from Silva in that fight and he managed to fight right back. In fact, it took a knee to knock Rampage out. Not saying that a good punch wont do that job, but he has taken the hits before. Kevin Randleman got some hits on him too.

I hope Chuck wins. I dont so much think this is the upset we need. Sylva getting beat was an upset we needed because we needed his big ass out of the heavy weight division cham belt holder. But Chuck is exciting and he draws a crowd. I pick Chuck.

no, just my school servers nacho. I've told you this before.
i can see youtube, just in the comfort of my home |

Experience says Lidell will take it. He's better scientifically. I may just get the pay per view.

Should be record breaking numbers for this event tomorrow for the UFC. They opened Sportscenter with a history and some highlights, had top boxing promoter Lou DiBella and Joe Rogan debate boxing and MMA and the weigh-ins are on ESPN News right now. Should get a few more fans by the end of the weekend.

I don't know about that, I would say Rampage is the more techincal fighter. I think of Chuck as more the duke it out, wild punching tough guy (albeit with great takedown defense and countering ability).
|
|
I think that way too. Only problem is Rampage can take all those wild punches and give it right back.
Ill be on my table if Rampage takes him down. Ill stab myself if he slams him. ![]() |
|
He = Liddell?
You really think hes gonna pull through? Figurtively speaking, what if he does? Whats next? Hes declared invincible? I hate to quote a guy in a green suit, but I like to "see a hero fail, fall, die trying." -Green Goblin Whos to say this wouldnt be another Randy Couture battle? |

YEAH! GOD DAMMIT! I was at Carrabas and I saw it on the Bar tv. I couldnt hear it, but it said MMA vs. Boxing.
Were they arguing? What was said? |




![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Who called it?! TOLD YA! Actually, I was hoping for a MUCH better fight. Chuck did have more in him, but bam. Its about time I got one of these fights right. Karo's fight was the best of the night. Josh put up a good fight. I was hoping so badly that I would see the same action in the main event. ![]() |

He has much more expierience on the UFC stage, Rampage didn't look impressive against eastman. Mentally, Chuck is much more prepared for this. GSP, Cro cop, rampage... ALL victims of UFC jitters. All for different reasons, but all of them didn't fight to their potential because they weren't mentally prepared. Chuck is an established champion in the UFC and its an entirely different situation than it was in Pride. Regardless of who wins, I just want to see a good fight. |

Not shocked at all really, he looked nervous as piss in every interview all week, especially at the UFC press conference.
|
|
To the following people ...
Plus all the other seven people that thought Liddell could pull it off ... ![]() |
. I'd be pissed.
|
I disagree with that. He looked the same as he does before every fight. Since his last win, he's been in a million TV shows, ESPN; he's got all the confidence in the world and just does his thing. But as soon as round 1 started, I did sense a lot of nervousness from him when they were circling and Rampage's defense looked tight as hell. Rampage has got his number, simple as that. Just like Chuck has Tito's and Tito has Shamrock's. Rampage training with a pro boxer was the difference. I think he'll be at the top for a while.

Think there will be a rematch?
Bone? Vids? I want to see them again.. I didnt like the hit Chuck took...looked like a graze. Its almost as if Cuck was taken out by his own medicine, but my friend said there was an elbow on the ground that you can see that clearly made Liddell's arms drop. I am as happy as a school kid.. |

That cbs report isnt coming in...yet.
Anyone have the scoop in the meantime about why people were booing rampage? |

|
...I wouldnt so much call this an upset, but I think the majority of people would pick Liddell. However the majority of people probably wouldnt know all that much about Rampage either. Wish the fight wouldve atleast lasted for a few rounds, but oh well I am glad I didnt buy the thing.

... this will be even better than anything we've seen lately from the top of the MMA food chain. |
Hendo vs Rampage ...
... this will be even better than anything we've seen lately from the top of the MMA food chain. Silva KO'd Rampage, and Hendo KO'd Silva. |
|
Finally. I no longer have to hear "Silva took Rampage's soul" or "Rampage will never be the same after his loss to Shogun" or "Chuck was injured during the first fight!" Yada yada... I still will never bet real cash against Chuck because of his right hand but I did make a KILLING betting fantasy dollars on mmaplayground.com
Why would you be glad you didn't buy it? This was one of the most entertaining UFC events in awhile. If this one wasn't worth the purchase then I can't think of one that would be |
|
Liddell > Ortiz > Wandy > Rampage > Liddell
Liddell > Liddell MMAmath doesn't work |
|
Regardless the fight still holds tremendous potential. Hendo holds the 185 and 205 Pride belts so the chance to unify the 205 division opens some doors in MMA.
|

Yeah when I saw that kick, I thought the same thing.
|
Good job by Quinton. I was watching this fight at my boy's house and as soon as I saw Chuck throw that lame ass leg kick I knew he was scared. He got knocked flat. Is this boxing, blacks were 4-0 against whites in the fights. And to think that Quinton was maybe 5th best at at that weight in Pride.
Bring on Shogun v Rampage II....... NOW! Muay Thai clinch and some knee bombs and we have another new champ! Fuck boxing! |
|
Not sure I get what you said there. Looks like you're saying that blacks are 4-0 for some reason. You could look at it that way ... if you're black and you only look at those four fights. Or you could say that white boys have ruled MMA for years ... if you're white. Fact is though that color has nothing to do it. It's all about skill in the fight and drive in the gym. MMA is always changing at the top. I prolly misunderstood you though.
|
|
It was a joke, black fighters never seem to dominate like that. Obviously, it's just a coincidence and the match ups were right that night. But it felt like watching a boxing pay-per-view, all the cracker's got whipped.

I'm not racist in action and feel racist deeds hold us all back, but you do shit like that it gets tough to not be racist in the way I deal with shit.
|
|
Did I say something racist? I merely stated "Is this boxing, blacks were 4-0 against whites in the fights." IF I OFFENDED SOMEONE WITH THIS POST OR LEFT A BAD TASTE IN SOMEONE'S MOUTH, I'M SO SORRY.
It's tough being white, you give the AFRICAN AMERICANS some props, and you get killed for it. |
|
My bad ...
With your nappy 4 life under your avi and the content of your posts you come of as a black dude all high on the black victory over the white fighters. Sounded like you were bragging really ... You just come off as a racist black dude from all that. |
... my bad ...
... we cool ... I take back everything wiggerish I ever said about ya and hereby certify you to be a Bone-ifide white boy
|
I saw the video, it was pathetic! Chuck got owned by the Rampage! It was sad! I don't know what happened to Chuck, he looked scared, he looked like he didn't even wanna fight! Very dissapointing, but I hope he comes back with a vengeance
