Do you mean UFC 71? I dunno what way to call it.. If Rampage is confident, he can make it a long night for Chuck.. If he comes in unsure about himself, Chuck will take advantage of it.

I wasn#t overly impressed by Rampage agains The Beastman. Sure, he got the job done but he didn't look confident and I don't think there is anyone on the planet who would put Eastman is the same bracket as Chuck.

However, Rampage has all the skills to take out Chuck. The Iceman loses when people come forward at him….Couture did it the first time and won, he respected him too much the second and third times and lost. Rampage can out wrestle Chuck, and he can take a hell of a shot.

If he walks in feeling he can win it, then he will win it.

I'm calling Rampage for this one.

I want Chuck to win but I do think that Rampage will make chuck earn his paycheque on the night.

Rampage didn't look overly impressive against Eastman which I think could have been due to not fighting for a while.I think that the UFC should have given him another fight before they put him up against Chuck.Then again they didn't want a repeat of what happened to Cro Crop.

In their last fight and before he won the title,Chuck tended to be more of a counter puncher.However in a number of chucks last fights I have noticed that he is alot more offensive that he used to be.If Rampage can get Chuck onto the ground AND keep him there,hes in with a real chance to take the title.Chuck will as always try and finish the fight in the first 3 rounds and will come out swinging.Rampage needs to work hard in those three first rounds and try and not get ko'd by chuck(alot easier said than done).

Hopefully we will see a good fight and Chuck living to defend his title for another night

and most importantly, does anyone know if this will on bravo the day after? I'll be rooting for rampage. If this fight was half as good as the first one I'll be happy.

Here's my reading of the fight:

Chuck's strength lies in his hands. He's an excellent puncher. Rampage has shown that he has good punching defence (most of his last Wand fight for example) but can leave himself open to a good knee-er. I don't think Chuck is a particularily good from a thai clinch and certainly no better than the calibre that Rampage is used to. Therefore I can see this fight being a long one. Maybe a decision with even amounts of Chuck doing well standing and Rampage doing effective g n p. This fight could look a lot like Liddell Couture 1.

Rampage by Decision.

EDIT: Also this fight is UFC 71 isn't it???

Rampage by GnP in rd3. I don't think Chuck has the wind to go more than two and I can't see him knocking Rampage out.

David Jones

Ill hang my neck out and say Rampage by KO round 3. Quinton is no fool and I lived in a gym with him for 3 months. He will train his ass of for this and anyone who saw the Pride fight, he handed Chucks ass to him on a plate.

Nothingcompares

I think Chuck is going to take the victory, some way, some how. I don't think Rampage isn't the competitor he once was.

Chuck by brutal KO, round 1. There's no escaping that overhand right I'm afraid.

Chuck has come leaps and bounds since that fight.I think that it will be a completely different fight this time around with hopefully Chuck winning via TKO
Also another thing to point out is that this fight is in the octagon and not in a ring like last time with UFC rules as opposed to Pride rules.It will be Rampage that will have the crowd against him aswell

I was waiting for someone to mention that looping overhand punch.......;)

Rampage hasn't been on form since he found God two years ago. When the swearing and cussing went so did his heat IMO. My prediction? Chuck by sacriligious desecration.

Frank Bullitt

whopps sorry i meant UFC 71, I dont think you can compare the chuck that lost to rampage the last time to this one, he is so on top of his game its unreal, if rampage goes in thinking it will be like the last one then he will hit the canvas very fast.

My money is on Rampage again. He has the skillset, the chin, the cardio and most importantly the bravery to go in there and take the fight to Chuck on the feet. His biggest weakness is knees from the Thai clinch which is not something id imagine Chuck is going to utilise.


Also chuck is comin off a case of pneumonia. Along with that i thought he looked very weary towards the end of his second fight with Tito.


My bets with Quinton.

David Jones
