But I don't think that will happen. While Chuck himself has never been one to make an excuse for a loss, he did fight Rampage with torn quadriceps. That is an important thing to remember.
There is also the question of what Rampage will show up. Many fans think Rampage hasn't been the same since he was brutalized by Silva and Shogun.
Another thing to think about is that Chuck has never lost a rematch.
And while Eastman is no slouch, Rampage was showing some bad habits in that fight; constantly ducking his head down to evade punches. Maybe this was just his game plan against Marvin, but if he ducks his head like that against Liddell there is a good chance he is going to join Chuck's HL reel.

if the Chuck back then fought the Rampage of now, Chuck would win you got to be kidding yourself here
the Chuck that fought Rampage back then could actually push the pace of a fight instead of just backpedaling, he was a lot faster then too with a lot better cardio.. todays Chuck has clearly slown down, it took him longer to beat Tito, it took him 4 rounds to beat Horn, you can clearly see him wearing down round by round.. hes 37 years old what do you expect? Chuck was in his prime when he fought Rampage the first time around, that Chuck would beat todays Rampage I would put money on that.
