Chuck's Health at this point of time?

I am wondering where Chuck stands with his conditioning after his bout with Pneumonia? It can take a lot out of a person and can really ravage the conditioning of an elite fighter.

Has anyone heard or read anything as far as what Chuck or his camp is saying? If he is not back to 100% in his conditioning, Rampage can press the action and take advantage of Chuck's conditioning level.

I've heard that Chuck said he's in great shape and can't wait for this fight, but that 's usually what he always says.

I heard that he was down for around 90 days with it. If that is true, that will take alot out of a person!

I hope that both fighters are in their prime for this fight...it could be a classic!

If chuck isnt in 100 percent he could easily cancel the fight. He has done so much for the UFC/they love him so much that he could do that without rubbing anyone the wrong way. Since this is his rematch I expect him to come in better shape then ever and if he isnt I would have thought that the fight would be called off.

Kind of off topic but was silva really injuired at 67? and he couldnt pull out of the fight becuase GSP already pulled out?

That is exactly what I think. Dana and the UFC would do anything for Chuck at this point. And yes, iirc Silva had knee surgery after the Lutter fight

That's a hard call. Although I believe you're right that it would be accepted to do so, I have a hard time believing Chuck would cancel the fight because of this. I just don't see him doing it. I think he'd suck it up and go full force. I also believe that if he does so, and loses, he won't use it for an excuse.

i highly doubt chuck would pull out of the fight...not unless he was seriously injured. chuck's a gamer, and all this hype is going to make him not want to pull out

What the hell is this? Getting ready to make excuses for Chuck when he loses? The Pneumonia was while back and he is in full training. It has become acustom for him to say his MCL is ripped off after each fight so that is to be expected but the guy is in fine shape.

Plenty of fighters have fought sick or injured and still won. It's part of the game. So is just having an off-night where a guy just has no energy and no snap on anything he throws. Lots of risks and variables involved in being a fighter.

Yea but Chuck won those fights, why would he make excuses if they are not true. It seems to me that everyone knows Chuck is the shit, and there are no more excusses to make. He's making people beleive he his a top dog. Its time to start beleiving man, or you will be left behind, BRO.
