Just caught the Rampage Liddell fight and the Jardine Alexander one on you tube. Both pretty awesome stoppages. Alexander looks like a big tough crazy son of a bitch, i'll be interested to see who they put him up against next(especially considering Jardine handed Griffin his ass).
Rampage vs Ortiz is the fight i want to see. Just for the amount of shit that will be talked

You need to see Liddell's face... when he got KO'd the first time, then we Rampage when on top of him pounding his face in and he woke up and then one punch later when Rampage KO'd him for the second time in one fight and then when Big John saved his life.

As for my predictions, I only got Jardine and Leben wrong. Even got all the undercard right.
mmaplayground.com for proof. |

I'm not surprised that Rampage won, I'm suprised how early he won. Thought it was an early stopage at first but on the replay it was a great stoppage. What did they both say in the post fight interviews?

A Chuck Liddell fight that lasts longer than a round would be nice for a change.

![]() Nobody understood a word Chuck said but it something down the lines of him saying it was a fair KO and he'll be back. Dan Henderson came into the Octagon and Rampage started rubbing and kissing one of his Pride belts and saying he was the better champion and telling Henderson to smile and then take his false teeth out and smile. Also said although they are friends, he'll fight his friends for money and he started ribbing on Kevin James saying he had a big crib and he wants one too. ![]() This man is awesome. |

Rampage is going to be a very charismatic champ, but he wont be one for long. He happens to have the right attributes to take it to Chuck Liddel, but Im affraid thats it. He has Chucks number, but He does not match up well with other fighters that are going to be in contention for his title. Henderson might be a little small for him, therefore the fighting match up might not matter, but in the case of fighters like wanderlei silva, hes been knocked out without question twice. Guys that come after Rampage like Wanderlei did will pose a huge problem for him.
Liddel just sits back and is a counter puncher. The best way to defeat an opponent that is defensive and relys on countering in any combat sport like wrestling or mma, is to go right after them and wear them out with a relentless attack. Now Chuck did get caught this fight but in the first one that was not the case. It can be seen in the first and third fight with Randy. Randy was coming strait at him except randy sliped and Chuck made him pay for it. |

I thought (and still think) that if Tito Ortiz tries dirty boxing in the clinch or throw jabs before trying leg take downs that he'd have Chuck's number too. That 3rd fight is definately gonna happen now.
205lbs - Rampage, Liddell, Shogun, Henderson, Silva, Ortiz, Griffin, Arona, Sokoudjou, Overeem, Bisping, Evans, Machida, etc. Now that's a fucking division. |

205 is definatly the most exciting and most competitive division around. Perfect combination of speed and strength.

I agree about tito too.... its just that too much respect is given to liddel and no one comes after him because theyre affraid of his punch.

Tito looked like he was scared of Chuck's power and he shouldn't be because he can actually take a punch. Just needs more confidence. I don't think Rampage has a better chin than Ortiz but he went in there with Chuck thinking he was the fucking God of MMA and rightfully so. That worked for him.

Tito has too many distractions around him now too. Wen he was at his best he was working as hard as he could with the little he had around him. The fighting was his life and he had only a couple people around him. Now hes running around with a pornstar girlfriend, has a ton of money and has made himself a public figure. He just needs to go back to his roots a little bit and he'll be back to where he was.

Rampage winning this fight will put UFC officially into main stream sports. Its already starting. ESPN just interviewed him on TV. I've seen highlights of the fight atleast 10 times since it happend. The guy is perfect to market this sport around. He's charasmatic, he's a champion. Liddel couldnt be marketed the way mainstream media liked to market sports stars. Rampage is that guy.
I say in about 6 months you'll start seeing UFC/ MMA recap shows similar to Baseballl Tonight and the NFL and NBA shows. UFC was big, but its about to get bigger cause they have someone in the best division in MMA that they can market. I love Rampage. I love to hear the guy talk. He's sick on the mic and in the ring. I love how he stared Chuck down before that fight in the ring. It was a crazy black man look. |

From the post UFC 71 press conference...
Interviewer: How did you beat Chuck? Rampage: What's wrong? Where you looking at your shoes or something? End the answer with... "anything else you wanna know? Next time watch the fight". How can anyone not love this man? |

ABSOLUTLY LOVED THIS PPV
As someone who's gotten like the last 20 UFC PPVs, this one was the best I've ever seen.. RAM MOTHERFUCKING PAGE I love Liddell, but wanted Jackson to win because as RP said, I knew it'd be good for the sport as a whole.. Why was Joe Rogan making it out like Liddell was gonna retire?? Just because he's 38?? Come one, he's been (next to Fedor) like the most dominant MMA fighter for the past 4 years.. Sure it sucks that he lost but to think he'll walk away now is retarded.. AWESOME PPV p.s. the Sports Illistrated story was really really good.. They (along with ESPN) seem to be solidly behind MMA in general with UFC being the flagship promotion.. Everyone should try to get a copy of this SI though because it gave me alot of back story behind the "dark times" of UFC and how Dana White helped bring it to the forefront.. I'm sure people like Rob already knew this but it was good to hear how it went from what I remember watching in 7th grade, 600lbs behemoths getting kicked in the balls by some guy with a mullet wearing a gi, to the tenichal sport we see today.. Good stuff.. Take THAT, Bill O'Reilly!! |

Oh yeah, and I am happy about Dangerous Dan Henderson coming to UFC.. And atleast now that they own Pride, we know it's not another Wanderlei Silva marketing ploy..

Liddel will be back.
Im happy too with ESPN and SI's new support in the sport, but I have seen many instances like on PTI where the two guys both said that UFC sells out arenas like WWE sells out arenas. So I dunno. There is definatly some grown that needs to be covered. Wanderlei honestly wasnt a ploy to start with, he honestly wanted to fight chuck, but Pride couldnt come to terms with UFC, and it ended up turning into that. The only thing that I didnt like about the ppv was that Liddel and Rampage's fight was over too fast and out of nowhere. The finish was good for the business because it was stunning, and it was good for chuck because he could say "he got caught." but I would have liked to see rampage take the belt without any questions by beating him like he did the first time instead of the way he did this time. |

Silva might have wanted to fight Liddell, but him being there at UFC 66 (Liddell/Ortiz II) with a PRIDE FC shirt on was a marketing ploy by Pride.. It was like a month before their first American PPV and they used the biggest platform in the US for MMA to promote themselves under the guise of a fight that was never going to happen..
Knocking Liddell out in under 2 minutes didn't leave any questions on my mind.. Sure I wished it had gone to like the 4th, but this ending was much better than if it had gone to a decision.. |

I didnt mean by decision... i meant by Rampage taking him down and beating the fuck out him, basically beating him the same way he did the first time.

If you watch the replay, Chuck was completly knocked out after the first punch once he hit the ground.. If Big Jon hadn't stopped it, Rampage was going to break his face..
I liked it.. |
