I don't think Rampage has been getting bashed at all. He fought well against Eastman and finished him off how he should of. Bringing up Horn/Liddell has really nothing to do with it. Horn lasted as long as he did because Liddell was a little hesitant to finish him because he didn't want to go to the ground at all and possibly get caught in a submission. It lasted longer then it should off, but it still was a solid victory. Why does it matter how many rounds it takes? Both of the fighters finished off their opponents. I will never bash a fighter for "taking too long" to beat someone. If it had went to a decision I would not have been nearly as impressed with Rampage's victory.

It's this raiders forum, theres a MMA thread there but most of the people who post on it don't know alot about MMA. The good majority of people on that board are tools tho.

thats my point, im not saying Chuck wasnt impressive vs Horn cuz he finished him! im saying that you cant play both sides here.. Rampage gets heavily ridiculed for taking so long to finish or beat an opponent but no one else really does except Rampage.

Rampage is a wrestler with good boxing

Chuck is a wrestler with good KO power IMO but people label him as a Top 10 striker which I disagree with but im saying Rampage isnt a Top 10 striker yet it took him 2 rounds to beat a damn good striker, Chuck is supposively this and it took him 4 rounds to beat a guy with NO striking skills to speak of.


If you get knocked out over and over again you go into the fight with a fragile chin thats why he was knocked out so fast, the more you get knocked out the weaker your chin is thats a fact.
Horn just has a better chin than Eastman. I think Rampage is top ten striking and as far as people saying well Rampage should have finished Eastman in round one, those people are crazy, Rampage did a great job in his first fight in the biggest org. in the world. Even if it would have taken to the third round to KO Eastman, Rampage fought a good fight so you gotta let uneducated fan's pereception of what should happen in a fight just slide.

Calling Lutter a middleweight is just laughable. Secondly to quote Joe Rogan, Eastman got his bell rung while warming up, thats why he was so easily KOed.


Back on topic. Not to take anything away from Liddell, but hes had it on easy street fighting in the UFC. His skills match up well against the competition he has had, he will have a battle with Rampage.

I may have to check it out if you have the link but I usually just like to stick to 1 forum mainly cause too much to keep up with. Nah I dont mind ur views on Chuck, I mean I can see ur a lil biased at times but I'm happy with agreeing that Chuck is top 3 LHW's currently. I am fully aware of what happened with Chuck/Rampage over 3 years ago but I just dont see it being like that at all this time. I also dont expect it to be 1 sided whatsoever. I'm leaning more towards Chuck with this being his only fight left to avenge but I am not counting Rampage out whatsoever. I am actually leaning more towards this fight possibly going to a decision rather than a KO or TKO. But if not a decision then I say 1 of them is going to lose due to TKO (Strikes).
