Chuck's got the heart.

moron - 5-25-2007 at 11:32 AM

Im still going with Chuck here. I'd love to see an upset though. I love when that shit happens!

clevohardcore - 5-25-2007 at 11:34 AM

He was on Rhome 2 days ago. Dude seems really cool.

This wouldn't be much of an upset if Rampage wins, since he dismantled Chuck last time. (Was that '03? Anyway, it's fairly recent, but still a few years ago.)

The fights pretty much a toss-up. I'm expecting Chuck to win since he's been on a roll recently. But Rampage could easily walk away with a win.

But hey, Chuck can always just poke Rampage in the eye if things are going bad.

Chuck will take it.

Discipline - 5-25-2007 at 08:23 PM

It'll be a good fight, but I'm guessing Chuck is going to take.

Spoiler - 5-26-2007 at 05:42 PM

my moneys on chuck

DAK - 5-26-2007 at 06:33 PM

I'll be watching this tonight. Hope Chuck wins.

jackson fucked him up
1:53 into the frist round
honestly im not all that suprised
rampage is a bad man

Monkey_Julius_BoWaffle - 5-27-2007 at 12:46 AM

Awesome, had a $50.00 bet on Rampage, not much, but hey $50 bucks is $50 bucks!

I definitely thought Rampage would take Chuck, but I didn't expect it that quickly.

I'm really surprised that the majority seemed to predict Liddell

..Oh and another thing; thank GOD I didn't pay for the pay-per-view

something in my gut was telling me chuck was gonna win
but man, ive been watching alot of jackson stuff over the last few days and i became really torn with it
the only thing i kept thinking was that jackson seemed to have a hard time with the cage the first few times
but overall i knew it could go either way
jackson is a bad motherfucker
im not upset i was wrong
im not a big chuck fan
i just thought he was gonna take it for some reason

moron - 5-27-2007 at 01:22 AM

I love the upset, but I NEVER would have thought it would end like THAT!!! That was awesome, and the fact that the UFC now has Dan Henderson is great. Im surprised he's gonna fight at 205 though. His natural weight class is 185 and that division could really use some contenders.

Muttley - 5-27-2007 at 04:31 PM

Wow I'm still in shock. That was a mugging. I expected much better from Chuck.

Same goes for Keith Jardine... he got fucking SMOKED.

Argh, any clips? Zuffa's got a lockdown on youtube.

the ref stepped in a bit early. liddell wouldn't have won but he wasn't completely helpless yet as far as i could tell.

random - 5-28-2007 at 02:36 AM

Check dailymotion.com for "ufc 71". I just watched the fight there after getting back from the oi fest in PA.

Not really an upset, since I mentioned before that Jackson owned Chuck the first time. This one really was just a lucky shot, though. Not to take anything away from Rampage, but this was one good hit. And the ref did step in early... there were only two unanswered hits... the one that dropped him, and one on the ground. Rampage missed a few attempted punches. Rampage still would've won, I think, but it was an early stoppage. Chuck clearly wasn't out of it since he was reaching for Rampage as the ref jumped on him, so I don't think it got to "wasn't intelligently defending himself".

Awesome that Hendo is the next fight. All the rumors were that it would be Shogun. True about Hendo's usual weight being 185, but he's talked about going up to HW to fight for a third title... he mentioned Fedor right after beating Silva at 205. And since he's 36 now, I want to see how much Hendo can dominate before retiring. Aside from Couture, few people make it too far beyond this age... maybe 2-3 years of his possible prime left.

Anybody think the ref called it too early?

This came up on another board I frequent.

Not an early stoppage at all. Chuck went limp after one of the shots to the chin while he was down, and then the next shot woke him back up.

If you look at Chucks face when he was on the ground that guy was gone, he had no idea what the hell was going on. I really like Chuck and wanted him to win, but was pretty sure that Rampage was going to take this fight. Mind you I had no idea it would be over that fast.

MM.
