I completely agree that Fedor would probably dismantle Chuck, I was more referring to the hype the fight would get. The first Fedor/Cro Cop match was great, but CC gave everything he had and still came out on the losing end.

Even though CC jut got knocked out, I still think he has improved since the Fedor fight.

Silva did get knocked by one of three best heavyweights in the world.

It has been rumored forever that either Chuck, or more likely, Dana, did not want for this fight to happen. Nothing good really comes out of hit for him. On one hand, if Chuck wins, most American fans will not comprehend how big of a win this was because it was not Tito or Randy. If Chuck loses, he lost to a fighter form another organization that many people have not even heard of. And thirdly, and possibly the most important factor, is it exposes more Americans to another, (and at the time better) organization.

Chuck is a very good fighter, but has been fed some pretty easy fights for a title holder. (No disrespect to Tito or Babalu, just the truth) He matches up very well with Randy and this can somewhat explain his success against him.

Quinton has a very good chance of winning this. He already did out strike Chuck in their first meeting, regardless of what excuses Chuck had. But, Quinton is getting older and could be another fighter that Chuck will beat, although the fighter was no where near his prime. The Iceman is disgusting, but I don't think he can beat the likes of Silva, Shogun, or Arona. Not to mention his talk of wanting to face CroCop or Fedor is just downright stupid.

CroCop needs to work on his boxing skills before making a legit run in the UFC... He proved he wasn't ready for the UFC when he was standing up against his opponent in the Worlds Collide fight a few months back and didn't do anything.. His jabs are very weak. I won't take away from the fact that his legs are the biggest I've ever seen... But if he wants to be in the UFC he needs better boxing skills.

Crocop's striking skill are the least of his worries.

CroCop has been known to be arrogant and overconfident...watch his interview before his fight with Kevin Randleman, you'll see what I mean. His skill set isn't what kills him, it's his preparation and what he thinks of his opponent. There was a big difference between the CroCop that stomped Wanderlei and the CroCop that laid an egg vs. Gonzaga...

Chuck got unloaded on, Rampage was amped when he tasted blood. I like chuck, I just had to put my money on the good buy, nearly 2-1 on the guy who gave Liddel his last loss?

Unloaded on?? He got got due to sloppiness...lack of focus. The only shit that unloaded was the elbow/forearm after he was down.

I count a takedown, and 1:30 win as unloaded on. Do be mad at me, be mad at the money spent by millions for a 1:30 of fighting and a nights worth of UFC 'blueballs'
