Granpa - For years, many of us have been saying Chuck's stand-up is sloppy and one day he was going to be exposed. I think that day has come. As the UFC ranks start to fill up with more technical strikers, we see Chuck heading in a downward spiral. Those looping bombs that have served him so well can no longer save him, because fighters now know how to get around them.
It's like a real life version of Punch Out! for the NES. Once you figure out how to get around Tyson's punch, it's just a matter of time. Still devastating if you get caught, but all it takes is some patience and good timing.
The blueprint for beating Liddell is out, and at 38 years old, I believe it's far too late to teach this old dog new tricks. He loves fighting too much to retire, so he better get used to losing.
Mister Brooks - So prior to this loss Rashad was just another wrestler being fed to Chuck.
But now after the upset, this was Chuck being exposed by a superior striker.
Lmfao!
Chuck is old and slow and getting older and slower.
Guys like him(Pedro Rizzo, Igor Vov, ect.) all eventually go the way of Tank Abbott.
if you didn't know before this fight that rashad had sharper strikes, you haven't been watching the game very carefully. I thought chuck would've pulled out a close decision based on some harder shots, but im not surprised at all that rashad was touching him constantly and eventually put him down.
poteet - What a joke. Those weren't the best KO kick and punch in UFC history.
The Salmon fight was gift-wrapped from the UFC like they always do for blacks. Same as Elite XC but on a smaller scale. Salmon was unknown when Rashad should have had to fight better competition.
Chuck is too arrogant now and bewitched with his own personna and punching power. He doesn't kick anymore, leaves himself wide open for strikes and shows no head movement or defense. He's still a badass and can be top 2 or 3 with the right gameplan.
I can't stand Rashad's stupid looking movements. Popular with liberal jack-asses, he looks like the types of jerks that would turn a thriving, healthy civilization back to an overgrown jungle in a matter of 20 years with that stupid mentality.

Wow! Somehow you managed to turn this into a race war?!? I never say this, but: Please ban this racist.

lol poteet, do you know who you sound like?
here's a hint - starts with AL, ends with SHAPRTON.
People are overacting. Chuck was dominating the fight, Rashad was running most of the fight. Chuck got sloppy and was standing in front of Rashad and not throwing with hands down. He's still a top 5 fighter imo.
