Yeah but you can understand or atleast argue if it's a lucky punch out of no where or something.. but chuck got his ass kicked alot of that fight.. i don't get how they can even bring the word fluke into the conversation.

I don't buy lucky punches one bit. There is skill involved in how you throw it, when you throw it, having it connect etc. Back on topic though, I agree that Rampage/Chuck was no fluke. As Plato would say, Rampage whupped dat azz

Yeah but it's a false dicotomy anyway. It's entirely possible that it wasn't a fluke AND Rampage isn't the better fighter. Styles make fights. If it was as simple as being the better fighter, does that mean Bustamante, Lindland, Sakuraba, and Ninja are all better fighters than Chuck since they did better against Rampage? Rampage is just a bad matchup for Chuck and they're on the same level as fighters.

No. Rampage whupped his ass.

I've never seen a clearer case of someone getting their ass whupped than this fight.


"Styles make fights"? What the fuck is that when it comes to this fight.

Karo yes, maybe.

But fucking Rampage man, he dissassembled Chuck plain and simple.

Why the fuck does this need to be dissected any more?

btw, i'm not saying it's cause for who should win in the next fight by no means.

Out of all the hype shows this was my least favorite. Usually UFC does such a good job

Thank you for bringing that up. I was not aware of that fact.

Really? Considering the fight was fairly even for several minutes before Rampage took over I'm assuming you haven't seen a lot of MMA fights. There are many others where one guy dominates from bell to bell.

It's the fact that Rampage's blocking and fast blitzes let him throw off Chuck's footwork while stopping him from landing a haymaker. Rampage has the best style of anyone at LHW to counter Chuck's. It doesn't mean Rampage would do better against most opponents.

It doesn't need to be dissected. Rampage is a bad matchup for Chuck yes but it doesn't necessarily mean he's the better fighter.

Then what the fuck ARE you saying? Exactly what was the purpose of that post?
