"The Iceman" Chuck Liddell Vs.Quinton "Rampage" Jackson Rampage Jackson is one of only three men to ever beat Chuck Liddell.. He is the only one of those three to never lose to Liddell soon there after.. These are two of my favorite fighters of all time.. I dunno who to pull for.. I'm leaning towards Jackson just to change things up at 205lbs.. This would also set up a better rematch between the two in UFC later on.. I know that a Liddell win sets up a rubberneck match but I'd hate to see someone eles step in to callenge if Rampage loses.. ![]() I dunno.. Can't f'n wait.. Fight Card |

Hard to picture Chuck losing...i don't see it, i understand this is the year of the upsets but don't think so in this case.

I think Chuck's going to win. I don't know what it is about the guy but he just doesn't lose focus or get frustrated. I don't follow Pride too much but all I read is Rampage hasn't done shit since beating Liddell, whereas Chuck just gets better. Round 2 TKO in similar fashion to the last Tito fight.

Only two guys have beat Rampage since he beat Liddell in 2003..
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua Wanderlei "The Ax Murderer" Silva (twice) Both are title contending Pride fighters who would be the same in UFC.. I mean, UFC tried to get Silva to fight Liddell for the title.. What are you talking about?? |

They might be saying that because out of the ten fights since Liddell, he has lost three and three of the seven wins were by decision.. But, the thing about him is, he is just a natural fighter.. No real style.. It's hard to counter a fighter who throws everything at his opponent.. He is not scared to lose..
You should not count him out because some nerdy Monday morning quarterback like Meltzer says he's not impressed.. Liddell is my favorite fighter but it would not suprise me if Rampage beat him...again.. |

I like both guys, dont really care who wins but I would like Chuck to walk away with his title.
UFC should of let Rampage have more fights before this happened. |

They didn't want to risk him losing because they know they have a money match with him and Chuck.
I bet they wish they had Mirko fight Randy before he lost too :-p` |

Yeah I think he has.
First Wanderlei Silva fight made him find God. Then the 2nd Wanderlei fight made him lose his warrior spirit. Hopefully he has found it, becasue if he hasn't he can't beat Chuck. Well who knows now a days about who can beat who, but you get the idea. |

Out of curiousity, if Rampage did not beat Chuck in the first fight, would this fight even be happening?
For the up coming fight, do you think Rampage will actually be able to slam Liddell? Liddel easily handled Tito who's all about taking a guy down, he's beat Couture, Mr Wrestler twice. If Liddell is healthy, he will not end up on his back. |

Quinton Jackson has a pretty good shot at beating Chuck Liddell when they have their re-match. Over the past year I've been trying to familarize myself with PRIDE, and one of the first matches I watched was Liddell v. Jackson. When I watched it I almost got sucked into the lame MMA myth that PRIDE is head and shoulders above UFC. To watch their first match is to see Liddell look his absolutely awful. I've never seen Liddell's first match against Horn, but I have seen his other two defeats at the hands of Couture and Jackson, Liddell looked much worse losing to Rampage then he did you The Natural. Both his match with Couture and Jackson went about the same way, they both ended in about thirteen minutes with Liddell getting pounded on from above, but everything that happened leading up to that was diffrent.
When Couture faught with Liddell you could see Liddell was a bit in awe of Randy, but was able to fight a pretty good fight. Couture was able to take down The Iceman at will but Liddell would always be able to pop right back up and continue until he ultimatly got knocked out. In contrast Liddell was taken down by Jackson at will but didn't pop back up. Liddell kept getting crushed by these looping haymakers that Jackson kept throwing, and eventually Liddell got knocked out after a lopsided fight. Rumor has it though that during Liddell/Rampage I Liddell had torn muscles in his legs. At first when I heard this I thought it was cry baby non sense, but I've heard it in a few places, and when you watch the fight you can see it in action. Liddell usually checks his opponents with leg kicks so he can get in and bang, he didn;'t do so as fequently against Jackson. Liddell is usually good at avoiding strikes due to his foot work, that wasn't the case against Jackson. The most important thing about Liddell's game that leads one to believe he had an injury is the fact that Liddell didn't pop back up after getting taken down. This all being said about Liddell's injury and how it affected the first fight is in no way to denograte Quinton Jackson's ability. Aside from Shogun, Hendo, Sokoudjou, Arona, and Wanderlei Silva, Jackson is the best Light Heavyweight in the buisness. However, since all the names I mentioned are in PRIDE thus wouldn't fight for the title and Jackson does deserve to get a shot at the title even if he and Liddell never faught before. This fight is going to Chuck's biggest test of his UFC Championship reign. Jackson is basically like a stonger, more durable, better striking Tito Ortiz. In Liddell's last fight he had some trouble with Tito, and I think he'll have even more agaist Jackson. At the end of the day though I see Liddell winning the fight, but I think Chuck's streak of knock outs will come to end. I see this fight going all five rounds, and Liddell winning a close Unanimus decision. If it doesn't end like that Rampage will lose a controversal TKO with a quick ref stoppage or Rampage will win in the 4th or 5th round due to Liddell lacking condition. But if I were betting, which I wouldn't in MMA I got lucky betting on Gonzaga and lightning will not strike twice for me, I;d go with Liddell by decision. |

So during the Maywether/De La Hoya promotion ESPN was talking about UFC on a daily basis.. Sure most of the reporters are haters and are O'Reilly-esque with their thoughts on MMA, but does this mean that they're gonna start covering it?? If so, *spooges in pants*..

I think Rampage's humour is very overrated.

Why was he promoting 300 anyway?? |
