Yeah I just searched that. Wouldn't mind having the Anderson fight then too.

Spade914 · #**990** 07-07-2008, 10:13 PM

I'd love to see Chuck, Rashad, Hendo, Anderson, Franklin and Hamil on the same card. Damn!

You can't put all your A-listers on one card. The following tourny would be horrible.

I really wanna see rashad vs chuck so I can see rashad get owned lol.

paintballkid97 · #**993** 07-07-2008, 10:54 PM

Yeah it will be just like Chuck vs all the other wrestlers he has faced. I see Rashad going for takedowns from the beggining, and eventually chuck will win by ko/tko in the 2nd.

JoshGrrrr · #**994** 07-07-2008, 10:55 PM

People said the same thing about Jardine/Chuck, Forrest/Jackson, etc.

I can see Rashad winning a decision against Chuck, maybe even KO'ing him with a little luck.

EDIT: You mean "all the other wrestlers" like Jackson and Couture? Both had a pretty easy time with him.

paintballkid97 · #**995** 07-07-2008, 10:56 PM

Yeah but I think in this case, the matchup favors chuck big time.

Jackson hasn't used much of his wrestling in the UFC, and couture got owned pretty hardcore twice.

Infact i'd consider page to be more of a stand up fighter now, he went for what? one take down in his last fight?

and your right about jardine/chuck and forrest/jackson but I really just cant on this one, Rashad can't stand with him ( He couldn't stand with tito) and chuck is known for not being able to be held down easily

paintballkid97 · #**997** 07-07-2008, 11:32 PM

Yeah jackson isn't much of a wrestler in the UFC. Why would you even bring the Couture thing up? They fought 3 times, and liddell won twice. Rashad will not stand with Liddell either.

No.

I really miss goold 'ol badass chuck. Part of me died in the jardine fight, but after seeing the wandy fight I still have hope.

123paintball_dude · #**1000** 07-08-2008, 01:03 AM

I never liked Chuck, his hair pissed me off too.

- beat stevenson who was legit top 10 LW

other then his fights with pulver and sherk the rest of his fights were in heavier weight classes. after his fight with sherk i really dont see any other LW's beating him i.e. mach, melendez, ishida, JZ, or aoki

theirs alot of good fights coming up the 19th has affliction/ufc july 9th ufc 87 has alot of good fights on the card hopefully tamdan ko's/subs cummo so i can see my coach winning. as much as i dont like the posterboy chuck i really hope he can come back and dominate hes the man who got me intersted in mma and my old training partner met him and said hes not what you think i.e. humble and down to earth.

THIS is why BJ is my favorite fighter. He deserves every bit of hype he gets.

Jackson used his wrestling when he beat Chuck's *** the first time. So did Randy. Couture got beat by Chuck with two flash KO's. That can happen to anyone. When Couture beat Chuck he made him his ***** and completely dominated him for the entire fight. Chuck never landed a single punch. Sure, Chuck can KO wrestlers but he can also get his *** handed to him by them on the ground. That is why I brought up the Couture fight. People say Chuck isn't known for being held down easily, but I can think of two good wrestlers who had no trouble holding them down.

My point is, the "all the other wrestlers" statement is pretty silly considering the outcome of some of Chuck's fights vs. wrestlers.
