The scary thing is
is that Chuck will say I was winning the fight(true) and just got careless(true) let me keep fighting Dana… Scary for me because I think Chuck is on dangerous grounds of getting really hurt…he gets flatlined now, not just stopped but out cold!!! chuck please walk away and thank you, Tito means nothing to the fans, you beat him twice in noncompetitive bouts, why bother?
I have no desire to see Chuck get back into the ring, even against Tito.
We know what Chuck can and did do there. He looked great, but his chin is gone. Hang ‘em up Chuck. I won’t purchase a ppv with you on it again.
lets not be that ignorant, he landed great hard strikes.
but after he lands or someone lands on him he goes crazy and over commits to everything. He has no thought of even defending himself, he is not moving his head and he comes in wide open reaching in with his punches. Entertaining fight and a great fighting spirit shown by Chuck though.
gli azzurri !
I agree, it was a fun fight
Like I said, he looked great. I don’t want to see him turn into that punch drunk guy.
Winning the fight before getting his lights turned out is not a justification to continue fighting. Maybe a last hurrah against Tito if Tito ever mans up and takes the fight, which I’m sure he will after seeing this result. Other than that, Chuck should not be in a cage again.
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies.
The Japanese were winning after Pearl Harbor...
Until they got KO’d by 2 big bombs…. Even they knew when it was time to give it up. LOL

Rich tagged Chuck with a combo every time chuck hit him and landed punches of his own without getting hit. I thought the round could have gone either way. Id actually like to see the fight metric stats on it. I had it being a close round

In the end Rich got the KO, so I guess it doesn"t really matter, but.....
only Cecil Peoples and you would have had trouble scoring that round for Chuck.

I think you need to watch it with the sound on it was close. Real close. Every time chuck landed a punch he got countered with 2. And I said close jackass so if you can admit it was in fact close maybe you should learn what your seeing instead of what rogan tells you while watching it

And also since when does close mean I gave it to franklin. Can you read???
by LOKIE on Jun 14, 2010 3:12 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Yes, I can read. I even understood that you meant sound off instead of on.
I never heard a thing Rogan or anyone else said since the sound was too low at the bar I was at. I was just going on what I saw, and that was Rich getting rocked a few times, kicked hard enough to break his arm, and taken down. Rich landed a few shots, but none with any power up until that last one.
Also, what I said was that you obviously had trouble giving the round to Chuck (before the KO), and since you said the round could have gone either way until that point, that is obviously the case. I did not see it that close, and had Chuck winning easily until those last 10 seconds.

I was there Chuck did good but Rich took advantage of Chucks desire to get the KO. Killer Night in VanCity!!!!!!
yes chuck was winning.
but the knock out punch was weak. that wouldnt have even hurt most people.

I don't think it was that weak. Chucks mouth was split in2 when he hit the floor!
Sucks cuz I wanted 2 see chuck in a couple more matches b4 he retired! I really liked that fight it was action packed!

i'm just saying
it shouldnt have put him to sleep.
"...they called me a rapist and a recluse; i'm not a recluse" - mike tyson.
great punch at the right time
i think that would have put alot of good guys down! only bad part is that sealed the Iceman deal………….

pack it up. pack it in. let me begin...
chuck should retire before he suffers some serious head injuries and ends up like Ali.
live simply.
i came to win, battle me thats a sin!

chuck should reitre
i hope chuck retires after this one man. i no everyone saying tito should be last fight but i dunno, i would hate to see chuck get caught by tito an knocked out. if tito beats chuck, titos head will get bigger than it already is and damn he has a big ass head
I actually wouldn't mind a retirement fight against Tito.
Tell everyone it’s his last fight win or lose. It’s not like Tito is gonna KO him lol.

Watch there second fight. Tito won round two and hit chuck a few times on the chin. I would actually laugh my ass off if Tito won by ko. I think it ruins chucks legacy to fight a guy he’s beat badly twice just to go out with a win. Let it be the ice age has come and gone

the concussion man vs the surgery man.
dead even fight. what is sad is it might happen and it might happen outside the ufc?
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Craig Thompson just might end up being a savvy guy. Hell is just a word, the reality is much much worse." Event Horizon". Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean, I mean plumb, mad dog mean. cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live or win. That's just the way it is. "The Outlaw Josey Wales". To protect the sheep you gotta catch the wolf, and it takes a wolf to catch a wolf. "Training Day". Rashad will beat Rua b/c it's a bad matchup for him. 2/1 odds. Josh Koscheck will dethrone Gsp and win the welterweight title. 2.9/1 odds on that too. Peace.

hang em up chuck......
though the punch may have looked a little weak to the naked eye, it busted up chuck’s face pretty good….lets not underplay the power behind it and claim chuck got knocked out by a stiff breeze on a spring day. That being said i think we all can see he can’t take a punch anymore so i think a fight with tito would be the biggest mistake of his career. i know he has a personal thing with tito but what mark would he leave if he fought tito and got caught with a pillow-hand?? we all thought rampage flipped………chuck would go mental……….
was never a huge chuck fan, liked watching him fight but there isn’t any reason he should get back in the cage….
i like how the later clips say
french with english subtitles, as if you might get confused.
i was actually a little surprised that not everyone thought he should retire.
You cant win them all!
