"Prime Chuck" struggled with average pride fighters like mezger/overeem and got smashed brutally by a young Quinton Jackson.

Jon Jones at any point in his career defeats Chuck at any point in his career.

For the record... I 100% agree. Chuck would likely get smashed... It's still a good topic of discussion. Don't pretend like Chuck wasn't dominant against good competition. (not Elivis Sinosic and Ken Shamrock thrice like Tito)

This. Chuck is very overrated by early UFC shills. Phone Post

RyannVonDoom - The new groups of fans here dont know how good chuck was. I am far from a fan of his, but to laugh him off is not smart at all.


This thread will go over as well as my pulver/aldo thread. Beware. Phone Post
The fights would go over about the same too. And to me I would think the noobs would be the one thinking chuck would have a chance. The one who didn't see him in pride. Phone Post
