Let the discussions begin gentlemen :duel:
That would be sick. Possible 205lb matchup Henderson vs Shogun. Hendo takes the title from Page, Shogun avenges Wandy's lose and finally gets his title shot. One can dream.I had a feeling rampage was going to give a quick ko. I am pissed though because Chuck said if he beat rampage he would want to fight Fedor next! Henderson is a beast in his own right and I think will cause probs at 205. UFC is getting better and better. Dana White was talking about have an MMA superbowl type event where all the pride champs fight the ufc champs. That would be sexy.
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. I don't see Hendo beating Rampage, but it's definitely possible.Well well well, Page is the new champ hell yea. Interesting note it seems that Hendo gets a shot at the new champ? Short regin for Page if thats the case.
That destroys Rampage...............has a disgusting thai clinch and soccer kicks.
agreed, matchup wise page should beat up on hendo. personally I would love to see Hendo move back to 185 and take on silvaHendo does not have the striking game to overwhelm Rampage. Simple combos and single strikes are not enough to finish Rampage. Shogun on the other hand...
Agreed.An entertaining card. All good fights imo.
I dont see why it wasnt decisive? Chuck wasnt the aggressor as he just stepped out when Rampage stepped in and then when they did engage he got smoked. Like it was said above, Chuck has had it easy in the LHW division and its going to be nice to see some of the fighters coming out of Pride and making that division better.Dissapointing fight IMO, I hoped the fight would have gone more like their first, but oh well, congrats to rampage. Chuck was out clean, but still not a decisive victory, in their first fight nobody could argue it was a lucky punch....I definatly see a 3rd fight.
It wasn't a lucky punch this time, either. Rampage is just the better of the two. He knows exactly how to beat Chuck. He did it the first time fairly easily and he did it this time without breaking a sweat.Dissapointing fight IMO, I hoped the fight would have gone more like their first, but oh well, congrats to rampage. Chuck was out clean, but still not a decisive victory, in their first fight nobody could argue it was a lucky punch....I definatly see a 3rd fight.
Man Rodja u beat me to it.
I love the way Chuck acted after his little nap..... funny stuff. Rampage will dominate for a long time. Hendo is a bad ass for sure. I think Rampage will get a tough decision over him tho. with the Pride deal done the match ups are limitless. Great time for MMA!!!! Randy will not beat GOnzaga but Fedor will.
I will not doubt Randy anymore (except against Fedor, of course).Counting Randy out so soon, are we? We'll see.
True... I agree. He needs to work his way back up. I just want to see the fight that I imagined in my head.Does Chuck really deserve another rematch. He lost twice to Rampage and each time in a convincing fashion.
Chuck went completely limp, and then the last punch woke him up, and he was coherant. Legit stoppage, he was limp and Rampage was in perfect pounding position, the ref can't let that go.If Chuck would just keep his hands up instead of having one cocked at all times he could have possibly avoided that. It's one thing if he was tired and just had his hands down, but he always has them like that. It's paid off for him more than not, but in this case he should have kept a normal stance ready for what Page was going to throw at him. I would like to see a rematch though. I don't think Chuck is over rated but I do think he needs to work on his game... I was disappointed in the fight. I would have liked to see a slug fest for at least a round.
EDIT: after watching the gif like nine times, it does look like he is actually trying to defend that last punch before the ref stopped it... Maybe he wasn't ktfo like we all thought. (Not like it would have changed anything)
Lights on but knowbodys home. He definitely short circuited there.The look in Chuck's eyes after the stoppage was classic. He was gone - not a clue where he was. Chuck even asked his trainer, "What happened?"
Why is everybody trashing Chuck? He lost a fight but he's also knocked out alot of good fighters.
Who do you have in mind for Sherk? A TUF'er, either of the coaches, or Serra with TWO belts at once!?!War Muscle Shark!

That exchange could have played out very differently, if Lidell had immediately followed the left hook to the body with a right cross to the head, instead of holding his right back and dropping his left to Page's Right hook counter. Pot shotting versus punches in bunches is one of things that the great boxers criticize MMA guys for, rightly so, and a single shot then dropping that hand is just begging for a nasty counter to that same side.
Whatever, I would'nt count out Lidell just yet. When Athletes win they party,too often and complacency sets in, when they lose they get pissed at themselves, regain hunger and ponder improvements, if they don't just give up.
Upsets, though this was'nt really one, are a good thing, Lidell now joins the recent club, in no particular order, of GSP, Hughes, Sanchez,Jardine, Guillard,Franklin, Sylvia, Little Nog, Wanderlei, and Cro Cop, did I miss anyone of real note?, who can use the pain of loss to renew themselves into even better fighters.
War Muscle Shark!
I was not aware of that...I usually route for him despite his aforementioned shortcomings. You really think he could take Sherk though?In the real world, Hermes Franca is scheduled to title fight Sherk at UFC 73 on July 7th.
F*ck no.I was not aware of that...I usually route for him despite his aforementioned shortcomings. You really think he could take Sherk though?
F*ck no also.F*ck no.
