Did Rampage put a slam on Chuck?

Did Rampage put a slam on Chuck?

nope, he knocked him out. Cant remember if you slammed him in their first fight, dont think he did though.

 

[CrypticOne]

Nope, Rampage never slammed Chuck.

 

[Golgo-13]

I saw the Pride fight between the two, where Rampage ground and pounded Chuck, then they threw in the towel. Was it the same or a real K.O?

 

[CrypticOne]

^ I think thats a TKO.

 

[Cubs Fan]

I think Rampage really knocked him out this time. He hit Chuck and Chuck fell, then Rampage jumped on him and landed a couple more. It looked like he went to sleep after he took the shots on the ground.

I dont know about anyone else, but I am really excited for UFC 73.

 

[CrypticOne]

^ What!? Chuck was trying to fight back, but he was eating those shots, but he never got KO'd. You need to watch that again.

As for 73, yeah, it looks to be exciting. I can't to see that Franca/Sherk fight.

 

[Cubs Fan]

after Chuck took the shots on the ground it looked to me like his arms went limp and I thought for sure that he was out for a second. I could be wrong though.

Sherk vs. Franca looks good, but I'm exited for Big Nogs first fight in the UFC. I thougt that UFC 72 sucked, but 73 looks great and if the rurmors are true then 74 and 75 look pretty good too.

 

[CrypticOne]

Anyone see the first time Minotauro's first fight against Herring?

[CrypticOne]

^ Yeah, that sucks. I had $20 on Saku too. So that angers me.

 

[Cubs Fan]

Anyone see the first time Minotauro's first fight against Herring?

I dont think I've seen either of their fights. Nog won both fights, the first by unanimous decision and the second by submission. Hopefully they'll show them on fox sports before they fight again.

And I'm not really a fan of any of the Gracies, so it doesnt really bother me. But I do feel bad for his fans and his family.

 

[brainchild81]

I'm a fan of the Gracies 'cause they are the ones who started this all. Royce most of all 'cause he beat the asses of guys way bigger than him. I guess w/Sakuraba being the "gracie killa" Royce felt like he needed an edge. I'm very disappointed in him

 

[CrypticOne]

I guess its confirmed, Wanderlei Silva vs. Chuck Liddell. Who do you guys have your money on? Its a tough fight. Silva has a wild boxing style, so that plays into the Iceman's hands. But I don't know. I think it'll end in the first round, by KO or TKO.

Anyone going to watch the Pulver/Penn fight? I'm taking Penn's side on that one.

I think Nate Diaz will win the finale against Manny.

Does anyone know what happened to Diego Sanchez?

I am very excited for Wand vs. Chuck. I just hope it lasts longer then Chucks last fight, and I wish it could have happened awhile ago. I'm pretty much in the same boat you are when it comes to picking the fight.

Rumor is that Diego is fighting Sakurai at UFC 74 or 75. That sounds like bad news for Diego.

 

[CrypticOne]

Yeah, that is bad news for Diego. I guess Dana does want to destory his best fighters, LOL.

 

[Cubs Fan]

Well its going to be hard for Dana to protect his fighters now, thats if the UFC gets all the fighters from pride that their rumored to be getting.

Its definetly not official yet, but it sounds like Fedor and the UFC are close to making a deal. I've read three posts about it, and all used different sources. I'd be so happy if Fedor came to the UFC.

 

[zanos]

Fedor vs. Tim Sylvia should be pretty interesting for 2 seconds.

 

[CrypticOne]

Tonight, Jens/Penn rematch. Manny/Diaz. Be sure to watch.

I think the UFC did sign Fedor. 6-8 fight contract.

 

[zanos]

Well that was pretty obvious. BJ is at the top of the game. Jens is practically retired. Of course he was going to win. Jens was beaten by one of the guys in the ultimate fighter already for chrissakes. I like BJ as a fighter but this guy always acts like sh_t. He aint no GSP.

 

[CrypticOne]

^ BJ acts like *****!? How? He backs his talk and is one of the best fighters in the world. Jens acts like he's something to talk about. He used to be but like he said, he con't compete in the UFC, thats why he's gonna go train with Penn now, and go to the WEC or whatever. Louzan is gonna be a big fighter though, so watch out for him.

 

[Golgo-13]

Last night had some of the best, most explosive fights i've ever seen ensembled. Goes to show that the 155 lbs weight division is the best out there, as far as entertainment.

The BJ/Pulver fight was great.

The Emerson vs Maynard fight had a wild/controversal ending wth that tap/knockout combo!

The Diaz/Manny fight ended rather sadly, as i truly thought that it would have gone the distance if it wasn't for Manny's injury.

Great night. Great fights!

 

[CrypticOne]

^ Yeah, hell yeah. It was crazy. I'm glad though, I called the fights straight down the middle.

 

[Cubs Fan]

I was actually hoping the fights would be better. But I cant complain, cause I had fun watching them. I'm glad Jens is going to the WEC, hopefully he knocks out Faber.

 

[CrypticOne]

^ Yeah, especially after he's done training with Penn. He'll be amazing.
