Why does everyone hate the guy? Why does Chuck not get the respect he deserves? Why do people say he is "over rated"?
I don't understand.
People say he doesn't face worthy opponents?
Come on.
He's defeated Bustamante, Vitor Belfort, Overeem, Babalu (X2), Kevin Randleman, Tito Ortiz, Guy Mezger, Jeff Monson, among many others.
Now tell me those guys aren't top tiers.
Bustamante is arguably one of the top Middleweight fighters in the world right now. Definatley in the top 10.
Bustamante has a win over Matt Lindland, as well.
Vitor Belfort (At the time, was at the top of his game) and has defeated Wanderlei Silva with a flurry, and has defeated heavyweights Gilbert Yvel, Tra Telligman and Heath Herring. Not to mention, gave Tito a tough fight.
Overeem has defeated, Vitor Belfort (X2) and Sergei.
Has two quick victories over Babalu, who has defeated Shogun, Jeremy Horn and Prangley all in one night.
Also was on a high win streak against other worthy opponents before Chuck made him look like a little kid.
Yeah, Chuck has been defeated.
Three times.
Once by Jeremy Horn, once by Randy Couture and once by Quinton Jackson.
IMO, he was most convincibly beat by Randy, and Chuck has since come back and KO'd Randy on two occasions. He avenged his loss to Jeremy Horn in a four round battle.
He has yet to fight Rampage. (But I am pretty certain he would dispatch of him as well)
Now, why does Chuck not get the respect he deserves?
He's number one in the world right now, why do people love to hate him?
