Chuck’s gonna destroy him
Still can’t see why he’s gonna fight Rashad after the brutal win over Wandy
Think he deserves a better match-up

Chuck will never see the top of the division again… I think he is quickly becoming the gate keeper for the top guys.

The Regular Guys are great!

chuck is my favorite fighter of all time, not because hes the best fighter of all time, but he brings the fight all the time. because of his charisma and perosnality thats why a lot of people like him. he is the BIGGEST draw for the ufc, so why would they make him a gate keeper. i can almost gaurantee u that he will get a title shot again soon after this win or a couple more wins…. do i think he deserves a title shot? unbiasly speaking, no. he needs to beat shogun, machida.. then yes he deserve the title shot but as of beating rashad evans, i dont think that should effect his status as a contender, however the ufc (dana white) would most likely to bump his status up. as for rashad evans do i think he deserves a title shot if he can pull a win over liddell? no… hes got a lot to prove to others.

I want to see a video of this interview. This is hilarious.

i still want to see chuck fight kimbo.

Here is a link to the pic (pretty funny)

Chuck is still the man!!! One of the only ones still left who comes to fight. Win or Lose he’ll put on a show. If he gets a title shot after this fight then so what, theres been worse. All you guys hating on Chuck is probably cause he knocked out your heros.

Very funny, thanks. Can’t wait for the video.

over-rated chuck is fighting waste of space rashad,for an easy win…he is dodging thiago silva and or machida

machida would beat him by decision an over-rated chuck wouldnt see round 2 against thiago silva and both chuck and dana know this

Chuck dont seem like the kinda guy that would dodge any fighter.
And wouldnt call Rashad a waste of space. He is improving in every fight

haha ok guys here is a lot of chuck lovers i am a fan of chuck but not like you guys yeah he can beat rashad maybe he can get a title shot and i`m not disagree with that, i just want shogun been in 100 percent a clean out this division i`m still think he is the best 205 fighter in the world, forrest beat him but is the past a lot of factors been there i`m not making excuses i just saying he WILL COME BACK

why do people hate chuck? the mans unavenged losses are to rampage and jardine who are both very respectable fighters, yeah jardine lost to alexander,and got destroyed by silva but silva is a top notch fighter,and jardine got lucky..

i also see why people wont fight machida NOBODY in the ufc wants a boring fight machida wont be given a fight with chuck because dana knows chuck will end the “undefeated future star” gimmic.. As for someone saying tiago silva would beat chuck i think you just wanna sound retarded no way that would happen yeah im a chuck fan but also know the facts chuck is the legit number 3 lhw behind forrest and rampage and if forrest loses his shot he’ll fight winner of rashad and chuck

forrest should not be top 3, hes the bottom 5-10 of lhw rankings.

the only reason forrest get a title shot is because he beat shogun thats why i`m not disagree whit chuck get a title shot after rashad, because he did win vs wandi but i think machida deserve a title shot too, anyway in my opinion shogun is better than all these guys is just matter of time to show that

DUDE THOSE ANNOUNCERS WHERE SOOO ANNOYING
AND BTW CHUCK WILL DESTROY RASHAD

Look at it this way if Chuck has a miidle name it is Knockout and Machida’s is Unanimous Decision.I know who I would want in a main event / title fight if I was Dana!

Evans is the worst UFC fighter there is, even worse than Andy Wang….totally boring, all his fights put you to sleep. No KO power at all. Chuck should murder him if he brings the same level of intensity when he fought Wandy.

Yup, another lob for Chuck. I’ve got nothing against the guy and he’s a great fighter (apparently if you critique anyone here you’re a “hater”), but it’s clear that this is the easiest step for Chuck to get another title shot. You’ve gotta admit that. Look at how he closed out Tito and Randy, both serious wrestlers. Plus no wrestler can keep Chuck down. It’s uncanny.

Anyhoo, I don’t blame anyone for not taking a fight with Machida on short notice, he’s unlike most so a lot of training and planning would be required to have any chance of winning.

BTW, I love watching Machida. I think he’s the bomb. He exploits all the large slobs for what they are. I imagine Dana will put him up against Thiago next. That would be a great fight methinks.

chuck via tko stikes rnd 2, he will look impressive and dominate this one like someone else said he gota good record against wrestlers. and can’t wait for the new years eve show if it got wandi vs thiago silva that would be awesome possible fight of the night with two agressive fighters

Machida runs and runs and hides. he is a pussy. If you aren’t man enough to see that Chuck is still top 3 or 4 then just quit putting your trash on this board. You all keep saying Wandi was hurt, chuck is past his prime. machida rules. machida runs like a lil’ girl on to catch a predator. Chuck just fough Wandi in one of the best fights ever. I have been watching since the very first and Chuck still has it and will be champ again. So all you lil’ kids go watch a Kimbo youtube video and think he is all that and leave us realists alone.

Brian, I would consider you a “realist” if your opinion was a little more realistic. Chuck will never be the champion again because he’s in a division that is stacked to the hilt and he’s proven unable to beat the current champ. I doubt Chuck will every beat Rampage and in a rematch with Wandi, Chuck would more than likely lose. A 100% Shogun would destroy Chuck. Chuck’s saving grace is his punchers chance. I like Chuck as much as the next guy, but I just consider myself a “realist.”

chuck all day TKO stoppage 1 st rd!! eavns gots alot ahead but liddell is gonna win E-Z

look i don’t argue that thiago silva has looked impressive. but to say that chuck or anyone else is dodging him seems a little crazy to me. look at who silva has fought, a bunch of nobodies. he beat irvin who got injured and a glass jawed alexander. other that that it is a list of who??? this is a case of the bandwagons on this site. i remember not to long ago when alexander won his first 2 everyone kept mentioning his name in title shot discussions. i said from the start he had a glass jaw, now he has lost a few and no one talks about him anymore.

let silva fight his way up to guys like liddell. chuck and these other veterans have earned the right to challenge for the title. at least alot more than your flavor of the month fanboys might suggest.

rant off

This fight will likely go the distance like all Effing Rashad Evans fights do and then he’ll be all smiling at the descision and be happy with a draw because that’s what a fighter with no drive to finish their opponent does. I hope Chuck lands a straight right to his chin and Rashad does the spawning salmon on the canvas. Maybe that will wake his ass up to actually fight inside the Octagon and not cruise to descision wins. Reason i vote for the distance is because Chuck is a counter puncher and Rashad will just be a bobble head in there throwing 11,546 fakes and not throw a punch. The good thing is, chuck will win by descision, but man does Rashad ever need to get his ass kicked.

why does everyone say chucks done, hes too old to be good? i recall people saying that about randy when he fought chuck the first time. i also recall him beating chuck, then tito, to bcome the light heavy champion. then after he lost his belt, i also recall a MAN IN HIS 40’S come back and take away the belt at HW even though his opponent had a 45 pound advantage on him. Chuck is just as capable, if not more so, to do what randy did and comeback and get his belt. hes alreeady beat tougher opponents then randy, and has many more wins. Chuck DOESNT dodge anyone. If u watched ultimate iceman, he he went AGAINST what dana was telling him to do when chuck was the #1 contender. He fought one of the most dangerous fighters, sobral, and won by TKO in first round. And its not like rampage is somone like A. Silva who looks like his games unbeatable. Watch ’page’s fights. You realize he relies on pure strength for a lot of them. His technique compared to many others, like machida, is terrible. He himself siad he sucks a jits, and he also said hes not a good boxer OR wrestler. (lol he did say though hes good at woopin @ss though.) My point is that no one should consider chuck out of the contenders for the belt. Hes not a tito, hes not gona become a moron in the ring. Hes not gona dodge compition like so many say, and he DEFINATLY gona destroy rashad. And people who say that Chucks just a counter puncher, thats what he likes to do. But if u recall in the wandy fight, along with many others, he was the aggressor more than once. In his second pride fight (the one before rampage) he was definatly the aggresser. I agree rampage is his one bump in the road, but chucks also done what people doubt he’d do before. Btw, hcuck was conidered THE BEST LHW on the planet more or less until he fought rampage. That was a little over a year ago, not too long. i think the Iceman will be back, and when he has his belt back, people that doubted him will be right back in the iceman fan club. Funny how people only jump on the band wagon if the guy winsand if he loses ONE fight there off it.

Srry to repeat again, but imo, i think machida is a bit over hyped. Hes good, i know that, ubt hes not the best yet. Im looking at the win record of his. in his 13 wins, the only guy i see who i consider worthy are rich franklin and bj penn, but he does have a size advatage on both of them, especially penn. from the UFC LHW devision, he hasnt beaten anyone i consider worthy. Tito is terrible these days, and didnt show much in any of his last few fights. Of his 5 UFC fights hes only ended one short by arm triangle, agianst a very new fighter to the sport (the huge black guy whos name i forget.) I know hes gona be a star, but until he defeats a worthy named fighter IN THE UFC LHW CLASS im not gona consider him one of the bests.

Well for everyone whose wondering why on earth Dana would put up a third fight with Chuck and Quinton it’s because of the huge amount of hype that goes along with it. Quinton is the one man who has beaten Chuck at all and gotten away with it. Chuck has cleared all his loss vendettas from MMA and UFC except Quinton. So there would be alot of sells of paperview to go along with that hype. As you may well know Quinton has lost to Forrest Griffin at UFC 86 and lost his title, so I believe that they will have Chuck face Machida and when/if he wins that fight he will most likely face Quinton before Quinton gets another shot at Forrest and then from there have either Quinton or Chuck go after the title next year.
