I really thought Rampage wanted another fight before going for the title?

But really who can Chuck be matched up with at this point?

This should be a huge F N draw!

**ice97ta** · 03-27-2007, 07:19 AM

should be a huge draw i agree, but after watching rampage fight last time, if he comes out like that against chuck, it will not last even 1 round.

**SexOnWheels** · 03-27-2007, 07:36 AM

About time you posted Ice!

Both have become better fighters since the first time they fought but I agree that this should be a real threat for the title to change hands!

**BlankinSShip** · 03-27-2007, 07:42 AM

The "Iceman" will take care of business...

**ice97ta** · 03-27-2007, 07:43 AM

ya it will be a good fight, but i still would definitly put my money on chuck. I think that the last time they fought, chuck was intimitated. but i guess we will see

He will be the odds on favorite but I believe Rampage will be the biggest challenge Chuck has had to face for some time.

Betting on Rampage could get you some decent money and would not be a dumb bet imo.

**ice97ta** · 03-27-2007, 08:07 AM

i agree with you SOW, but i guess we will see. I think it will be a great fight. I think that the UFC made it so soon because this PPV coming up is garbage. It will be the first one i havent orderded because of the card. But then look at the next two, they will be awesome. I will check the lines on the rampage and liddell fight closer to the match and let everyone know.

**SexOnWheels** · 03-27-2007, 08:11 AM

Yes the next two fights are in april but I think the UFC 70 (CCvsGabriel Gonzaga) is rumored to be shown for free. I mean it should there is not even a title fight and should be shown on Spike TV.

Even the UFC 69 is full of TUF contestants and might not sell that many PPV's but we will see like you said!

**ice97ta** · 03-27-2007, 08:14 AM

i dont think that ufc 70 is free. they talked about it, and they did a interview this week and they said it wasnt going to be free. they would loose to much money.

**SexOnWheels** · 03-27-2007, 08:20 AM

Yes when I heard that I doubted it aswell.

They want $40 for a PPV ($50 if you get the HDTV).

At least with the Chuck vs Rampage fight we are excited to see it and will be talking about it unlike 69 & 70.

I mean who thinks Serra will take GSP's title?

And who would bet against CC in 70?

**ice97ta** · 03-27-2007, 08:23 AM

but i cant wait for 70, Arloski is my favorite fighter, and he has a big fight then. Also i just love watching CC, i will definitatly order that one. But i agree who wants to watch a has been in serra get tore up by GSP, also there are no other good fights. I really hate diego sanchez, and i hope koscheck kills him. Hey SOW, i was in Pacific Beach on saturday and me and my buddy ran into Dean Lister, we hung out with him for about a hour. He is a pretty cool dude.

**SexOnWheels** · 03-27-2007, 08:30 AM

That is really kewl!

I like that these fighters are down to earth. We have allot of (mma) cage fighting here (Alberta) and I like it that the fighters are approacable.

Not tainted like boxing but decent human beings that are willing to go the distance to make the sport better!

Can you imagine any pro boxer taking to an 'average Joe' like us?

MMA is really going to blossem and will be mainstream in a very short time imo!

**AKIRA** · 03-27-2007, 10:22 AM

I just got off the phone with another UFC fan and we spoke about this upcoming fight.

Chuck was BEAT last time. I am using the word Beat here. Thats a long way to come. However, I agree that Rampage didnt look so hot fighting his last fight. In fact, it looked pathetic. And with him eating fried chicken and smoking cigs while being interview by Rogan, I am wondering if hell be real serious about this fight. IMO, he has to beat Chuck or else hell just be 'another' fighter.

Ive never liked Chuck and I hope he loses. I just dont think his strikes look as good as his past's. Seriously, I cant get passed the label of him being a lucky striker. However, if he wins this fight, then and only then, will I give him respect.

On another note, this PPV is all TUF fighters. Sorry, Id like to see GSP fight, but fuck this. If I am at Duffy's and its on, ok, but I am not ordering it unless boredom splashes over me.

Who is Arloski fighting? Hes supposedly a good one. And Crop Cop is fighting...heh, WHO?

**nitrox28** · 03-27-2007, 10:38 AM

Rampage beat his ASS last time, but I think Chuck has what it takes thins time around. Unless he's feeling like this:

**SexOnWheels** · 03-27-2007, 12:18 PM

That interview was hilarious.

'They' said he was sick and on meds.

he better be on the top of his gaym to beat Rampage because if he takes him lightly he will get slammed hard!

**ice97ta** · 03-27-2007, 12:47 PM

cro-cop is fighing gonzaga, and arloski is fighting Werdum. Also i just heard the the UFC bought out pride, they are one now.

**Spaz** · 03-27-2007, 12:52 PM

I just read it on MSN, this is really good news for us fans as we get to see all the dream matches afterall!

I am not sure about the difference in rules or how the fighters feel about the competition being gone now but wow this is real big news!
