Iceman vs Rampage

[blm]

Saturday May 26. UFC 71.

Let's hear some takes on the possible outcomes.

I'm really looking forward to this fight. I thing it's the best challenge thus far for Chuck. Rampage looked a little rough around the edges in his first UFC fight, but he has to have an inner confidence knowing that he beat the piss out of him once before. Granted, they were both different fighters back then. I still believe Chuck will pull it out, but I don't see it being his typical 'sparring' match.

I love rampage's style and he's really going to push chuck. I want to see rampage win again, but unfortunately inside, I think chuck's striking game has really improved in the last 3 years since they're last fight. I think chuck is not the same man who lost that fight. I'm not sure rampage can take him. Nevertheless, it's gonna be an awesome fight.

I think Chuck will win....but I'm hoping he has to earn it...leave the ring with a bloody nose or some lumps at least.

Rampage could have done have done with a couple more fights in the UFC before taking on Liddell IMO and with his big name draw I'm suprised this didn't happen.

He will cause chuck some problems because he has a chin. Basicall its the same format and if chuck does his job he'll but plenty of leg kicks in on rampage in round 1 so that if it goes to a second rampage is falling forward and more suceptable to head kicks, punches and knees.

If Rampage lasts two rounds, my money is on Rampage

I won't do a running commentary, but I can give updates.

[Gods Son]

I would bet chuck.I hope he doesnt get crushed like CROCOP did.

[blm]

Well I can't really say too much.

Rampage caught Chuck w/a powerful right less than 2 mins into rd 1, his knees buckled, he went on his back, Rampage landed a few more punches, Chuck went flat arms out for a very brief moment and McCarthy called the fight. IMO, Chuck was out of it, but still capable of recovering.

Rampage is the new LHW Champ!

Not a chance, chuck was done there was no recovering from that.. he was on him quick.

That fight was stopped when it should have been stopped, unlike the Jardine fight where he probably took too many punches after he was initially stunned.

Agreed. I watched it this morning and saw Chuck's eyes when he tried to get up. He was out of it.

[Gecko1980]

even after they took chuck to his corner he looked confused.. didnt even know what happened.
