**pepperoni** · 02-12-2007, 09:09 PM

**westcoastbadboy** · 02-12-2007, 09:26 PM

Rampage by TKO 1st round

**thekaydense** · 02-12-2007, 10:32 PM

rampage by decision.

**BgMc31** · 02-12-2007, 10:34 PM

Rampage 2nd round KO!!!!

**Hunter** · 02-12-2007, 11:46 PM

They will give page another warm up match. They wont rush this fighting in the cage and ring are different. Mirko had a harder time cutting the cage off then he did the ring cause he was not used to it. They will give page 1-2 more before he fight liddell

**Mark Yager** · 02-13-2007, 03:38 AM

I'm taking Chuck with a KO at 2:50 in the 2nd.

I want rampage to win but id say chuck by early stoppage esp if that pussy herb dean is reffing. the 2nd chuck lands a good shot ufc will do their job and call it early as always

**sonar1234** · 02-13-2007, 11:05 AM

Yes thats great match making finally. Rampage all the way

**BigSwol** · 02-13-2007, 12:34 PM

That'll be a good match up when rampage is ready, I think another match or two, against some good ops, and he'd be ready to go. The one thing I've noticed about rampage is he does seem to have a decent chin...I mean Silva had to beat the holy piss out of em, and shogun just went banannas on em and he was still awake, he just counldn't break the clinch. Knees to the body kill em. Chuck on the other hand is a puncher/counter puncher....not a clincher. I like his chances (page) in this match up.

Herb Dean is a pussy, the UFC sucks, and you're an internet tough guy.

Enough with the bullshit ... if it wasn't for the UFC, mma wouldn't be around today.

**QuieTSToRM33** · 02-13-2007, 07:27 PM

oh yeah ... and Chuck by KO.

Now I would'nt go that far, better off saying "If it were not for the Gracie's, the UFC would not be around".

You have to remember that Vale Tudo was going on in Brazil for close to 50years before Rorion Gracie created the UFC in 1993. Renzo Gracie fought his first vale tudo fight in 1988.

I hear what you are saying but I had to get technical on you.

**sooners04** · 02-13-2007, 08:16 PM

If the fight goes to a decision Rampage better have put on one hell of a show, because they will NEVER give the title to the challenger on a decision unless it is sooooo obvious that he won.

**Hunter** · 02-13-2007, 09:22 PM

Herb dean is a good ref, just becouse he refused to be witness to a manslaughter when tito faught ken the 2nd time doesn't mean he is a pussy. Its called fighters safety.

I agree, Herb Dean is one of the best refs in the business guy's..chill out. He is a cool guy when i met him in person. He will be out there next week and i will snap a pic.

I'm just saying if its the refs, ufc, but most likely the gaming commission and pressure on mma in america look at pride and look at ufc. ufc fights are stopped early every fight in comparision. if nog fought in ufc the refs woulda called half his matches early and we wouldnt be able to see how great a fighter he is because he fights from behind half the time because of his chin. if you think ufc is so big go look at the crowds in japan they pack 60thousand its the countries sport as well as brazil. just because we live in the usa doesnt mean the world revolves around what we think and the mma world doesnt revolve around ufc thats for sure. o yea and remember when the pride of ufc chuck liddell tried entering the Pride GP. he got clowned by rampage before chuteboxe gave him permanent brain damage.

**mullcap** · 02-14-2007, 03:09 AM

and im not a tough guy or internet tough guy im actually a fat outta shape college grad trying to lose my spare tire from 4 years fraternity binge drinking.

Fighters safety come first. Arona and Sak should have been stopped long before it was. What about Yoshida and james thompson? By the way Chuck is 2-1 in pride well Silva is 1-2 in the ufc. By the way way styles makes match up Chuck lost to rampage and Silva lost to Arona. I doubt chuck would have lost to Arona but probably will lose to Page. Learn to appreciate MMA instead of organizations.

*The comparison between silva and chuck does not mean I think chuck is a better fighter it just proof both organizations have quality fighters*

*yes overall Pride does have better fighters*

**mullcap** · 02-14-2007, 08:19 AM

I'm not biased towards the fighters I just think in comparison the action in pride is much better. I will say that the UFC 170lb class dominates the pride lighter guys by far. I just don't like how ufc allows the lay and pray guys to stay on the ground for so long as pride stands them up and penalizes them for lack of action. Tito/silva was the most boring match ever no real damage was done to either tito just kept taking down silva at will and holding him down not really inflicting any damage. It was funny watching tito turn his back and sprint away though. Silva did avenge his loss to arona not in great fashion though. Rampage's powerbomb on arona however was one of the best ko's ever.

**Hunter** · 02-14-2007, 08:32 AM

I misread sorry

**ALPHAMALE77** · 02-14-2007, 09:18 AM

Ok Ok Ok ....jon Mccarthy Ref.....liddel And Rampage.....rampage By Tko In The 2nd.....and Herb Dean Does Suck....imo

I dont think this fight will end by decision

**oc pitbull** · 02-16-2007, 01:41 AM

you guys dont forget chuck got knoecked the **** out and owned all around the ring already once by rampage.

Was he beaten handily? Yes. Was he owned? No. Getting Owned is crocop vs don caras jr. He was not knocked out either, his corner through the towel in. With all that said will chuck beat rampage? In my opinion no styles make matches and this is a horrible style match up for chuck.

**wishmasterATM** · 02-16-2007, 11:01 AM

Iceman of courseee....tko 1st round....buttt beware of Cro-cop ...

I agree totally. I have no clue who will win but it will not go the distance I will guarantee that. Too much dynamite in both sets of hands and feet. I say the first person to make a real mistake loses... There is just no room for error fighting someone with Chuck's punching power or Rampage's strength. If you leave yourself open either one of them is going to hurt you.. Badly.

Thats pretty much the best way to say it. Chucks a better fighter since the last time he fought Rampage IMO. Someone will get knocked out in this one.

**test_cyp** · 02-19-2007, 10:20 PM

Liddell all the way. Rampage looked a little sloppy during his first UFC fight. Chuck will train super hard because Rampage beat him last.

And in the BIG fights, they don't call the fights too early. That's just for the up and coming fighters. Forresst Griffen got rocked by about 9-10 shots to the dome before they call that fight. His head bounced off the canvas!

Rampage by Brutal GnP Round 3 or Chuck by flying ArmBar

That's a hell of a prediction lol... anything is possible though.. You are going for the "it's about time bet" Chuck hasn't won by submission but once and that was in like 1998 or 1999 as i recall..
