I really hope Jacksons brain comes along to this fight and he prepares well to pump up his confidence. I won't say that if it does he can beat him. Just that if it does the fight could be a classic for the ages.

I watched Rampage's win on youtube yesterday and i gotta say if he can repeat that he's in with an excellent chance. He really dominated Chuck in that fight.
But like i said in the other thread i saw Horn's win over Chuck last night too and the Chuck then bares very little resemblence to the fighter he is now.
Or could it be he's fought zero decent strikers lately? Thus exaggerating his record?
Really looking forward to this. Gonna be very interesting.
The entire MMA game has changed since Chuck fought Horn, let alone Chuck's game. Probably not the best measure. His fight vs Jackson however is a fairly good yardstick though because they both have similar game's tom what they will show at UFC71.
In any case, I can't wait.
Couple weeks to go now. Current lines:
Chuck Liddell 1.357
Quinton Jackson 3.200
Karo Parisyan 1.323
Josh Burkman 3.430
I dont think Burkman should be that long, but still wouldnt bet him.
Dont like anything there really, lines seem about ok. Even though Jackson looked horrible last time out, you are laying too much betting Chuck...an improved Jackson will be a tough fight for Chuck.

Rampage sends out a message to Chuck, this is good. Jackson's a funny man i'm warming to him. I nearly may barrack for him now.

It's fight week, and no talk around these traps!
Latest odds at Pin:
Chuck $1.53
Jackson $2.66
If Jackson keeps coming in, and you can get Chuck anything over $1.60, I may have to chuck a couple beans on the champion.
Jackson just looked so bad last time out.

The official Chute Boxe website said Shogun has signed with the UFC, looks like he'll be the next challenger if Chuck wins here.

I've ordered it on main event and i'm set to go. Just hope chuck has trained his arse off for this, considering only 10 weeks ago he supposedly had pneumonia and fell asleep on drugs on that talk show.

Any of you guys know how long it takes to kick tonsilitis? I've had it all week and got my penicillin shot in the saddle yesterday morning and now i'm on the penicillin tablets for a week, but it's already feel a whole lot better and i'm thinking by sunday it might be ok to try a beer or two? What do you guys think? I really enjoy a beer while i watch my MMA especially when it's chucky boy
Ok, I'm going for an upset. Rampage to pull out the victory! He has a tougher chin than chuck.
Anyway, looking forward to the weekend, this should be huge. I have probably more anticipation for this one than for Hughes/St Pierre #2.
Lets get it on!

Actually, no I wouldnt. It would be ugly.
Awesome result!!!
Chuck is such an ordinary striker it isnt funny. Extremely fortunate (or by design?) that the UFC 205 division has been filled with blokes who dont know a fish hook from a left hook.
Has to be the most overrated, overhyped fighter in MMA history? Surely.
I dont think Rampage will hold it all that long.
That was a pretty bad result for the UFC after the massive build up prior to this show re MMA v Boxing. Mayweather saying chuck cant fight, Cintron challenging any UFC fighter which Dana backed down from, ESPN finally giving mainstream coverage to MMA showing the weigh in live, ESPN showing an on air debate between ex HBO head and promoter Lou Dibella and Joe Rogun etc.
Chuck, the striker, could have lost in any way, but for the striker to throw such horrible punches then get caught and KO'd with an equally horrible arm punch didnt auger well Im sure.
I saw him that way too, at least little overrated anyway. If you believed the crap Dana talks about Liddell, he's up there with Fedor in p4p!
It was disappointing to have the fight go so short, but I reviewed the past fight, and I really couldn't see anything that chuck had that would hurt Jackson. In the end I really thought Jackson would win. And he did.
I reckon Silva would have smashed Chuck too.
Be interesting to see how Henderson goes in the 205's.
We need shogun in there too
We may get to find out soon. Dana said he was hoping to get Wanderlei as Chuck's next opponent. I wouldn't rule Chuck out as Silva would come after him and Chuck is at his most dangerous when counterpunching.
I'd love to see the UFC hold a tournament at 205 over a few shows to name a top contender. It'd give us some great matchups and be a chance for someone like Shogun to announce himself in the UFC.
Great event, still can't believe Chuck got knocked out... well not the fact he was actually beaten... but beaten so darn quickly!!
