Honestly,I hope Rampage takes this. I been a Pride Fanboy sicne day one and it really breaks my heart to see all the greats fall from upsets this year. Hopefully Rampage and Fedor can stop it and return the world to its natural order.
HOLY FUCKING CRAP

Honestly,Are you guys really surprised by this? Rampage was going to win by a long shot,On paper and on the mat.
Liddell seemed to be quite upset with the stoppage.
Anyway, here’s the video…

Yeah, he did - the guy is a warrior - but no way was that a premature stoppage. If you watch the video carefully, after eating a couple of shots on the canvas Chucks’ arms flop down to his sides. The guy is out at that point. He recovers very fast, but the ref was right to stop it when he did.
Karo Parisyan V Burkman was very entertaining too. Karo is destined for very big things, even if Rogan kisses his ass fanatically.
Thought Rampage was going to win, but not like that! I had my doubts during the ring walk because I thought he looked a bit too nervous.
I don’t consider it an upset because it was almost too close to call. The only people who would consider that an upset are the people who don’t realize MMA exists outside of the UFC.
Rampage looked better all around imo. He seemed to know Chuck better than people expected and just caught Chuck and made it count. And I agree with an earlier poster that it wasn’t an early stoppage … even when the ref was over him right after stopping the fight Chuck still looked dazed and confused.
Maybe if Chuck woudl’ve focused a little more on training and beating Rampage rather than running around on the cover of magazines and on Entourage he would’ve been in it more. Just my opinion. Otherwise I thought it was a very good UFC. Very entertaining undercards. Parysan looked good. I can’t wait for Couture-Gonzaga. That’s going to be a good fight. I think Gonzaga will take it.

i would not want to see them fight again rampage has beaten him twice whats the point.rampage has chucks number

Maybe if Chuck spent a little less time showing up on “Good Morning Texas” full in the bag, he’d have been in it more.
Iceman clearly thought the stoppage was premature. Watching the original broadcast showed a very pissed off Liddell rising from the mat after the fight, bickering with two referees. Whoever posted that dailymotion video should have posted all of the replays in the video, too. Looking at it from angles other than the original shows Rampage bouncing Chuck’s head off the mat and Chuck’s arms going limp.
