ICEMAN!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, this should be a good fight. Jardine is tough, but I think Lidell can pull it off.

I hope Chuck wins; I don't think he's going to take this fight lightly. It's either going to be a cakewalk or a huge upset. I know I'll be getting it on both of the TVs here.
He looked very nervous walking to the ring for Rampage.
Even if he wins, I don't think he's in contention for the title anymore. He's beaten some good guys out there, but with the merger of Pride and the signing of Wandy, I don't think he's got a chance at the title. I don't think he wants to fight Wandy, like Tito didn't want to fight Chuck, and look what happened.
I've been a big fan of Liddell for a very long time, before he got in the spotlight, because he finally brought the UFC back to the standup. He's a great fighter, and I give him a lot of credit, but now he's got a whole new force in front of him.
I could be completely wrong. Look at Cro-Cop, he was one of the top heavyweights coming into UFC, and he's not been able to pull a win in the Octagon.

I'd like to see Chuck fight Wanderlei next or maybe Houston Alexander. Houston destroyed Jardine recently - it would be interesting to see if Chuck fairs as well.
But I won't be PPV-ing this one though. No titles on the line, and both the Shogun and Iceman fights sound like tune up fights to me.

Sometimes the best fights aren't title fights.
I actually think that the Shogun vs. Griffin fight will be the only one worth watching. Fitch vs. Sanchez ought to be a good one as well. The Jardine fight is either going to be a walk through, or an upset.
Wandy is supposed to fight in December. No word yet on who it is. Guys like Houston in the 205 lb category are going to really mix things up. That dude is a beast, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has something for Rampage.
It's going to be very interesting over the next year or so seeing some of the new fighters and Pride fighters migrate in.

Chuck isnt done.... being from SLO he is a distant friend of the families ( His manager and Brian are close) and Brian was in the front row. jardine took the weapon away with the rib kicks and I think Ill bet that he broke them in the second round then jardine was very effective with the leg kucis which took the planting power away. That being said Chuck madethe third round interesting at the end.
I think CHuck has to train and get hungry...
Jax I do believe that the addition of Pride has changed the game and I dont think that Rampage will dominate...he lost in Pride a few times right?
What a psycho Forrest is? That guy underestimated heart and was not in shape for that fight as he thought it would be a stroll

this is whats so great about MMA.....you never know from fight to fight what might happen once the fighters enter the cage. I think Chuck will come back strong..... he was in a very un familiar position(coming off a loss) let alone a knock out loss. It will be interesting to see who his next fight will be, Henderson? One thing is for sure it will be a long long time before we see a champ win 7 in a row again.

Anyone here follow the IFL MMA League?? Great fighters there too (Gracie's among them)! Alot of these fighters came from a foundation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (what I train in) and incorporated a variety of arts into the MMA.
Anyone know how old Chuck L. is? Antonio McKee is @38 and still an "Incredible Force", just recently beating unbelievable Helleno of the Gracie Team.
