Who will win UFC 97 Chuck"Iceman"Liddell vs Mauricio"Shogun"Rua?

[Shogun Locc]

He only fought 13 different fighters in the UFC before losing his belt. I don't feel that it's necessary to name the top 10 out of 13.

No He fought 15 fighters in th UFC before loosing the belt. Out of the 15 four of the fighters he fought multiple times they are Tito Ortiz, Renato Babalu Sobral and Jeremy horn and Randy Couture who have victories over Chuck.

Name all the fighters that weren't! Point is, in a sport where strength is a key commponent to winning, combined with the absence of drug testing, it is commong sense that there is steroid use.

Just answer the question

Let me just whip out my 2000-2006 UFC LH rankings. Seriously though, I could name around 4-5 (three of which he has fought 2 or 3 times) - that's eliminating those who he beat out of his prime (which really only includes Silva) and those who he fought in Pride. The better question is, of the top 10 fighters that he was matched up against, how many did he beat?

If you can name the top ten fighters he fought in the UFC during his tear then do so.

It doesn't matter if they moved on to intergalactic status, the numbers/sales don't lie.

uhh Yes it does matter because the UFC had no pull out side of the USA like they do now with the UK back then. Sure they were starting to come up but they did not have the money that they have now to get higher quality fighters back then or Sponsers like budwiser, and harley davidson.

Let me hear you say being 40 has no barring on your ability to fight.

Come on. Otherwise your "arguing" for arguments sake.

That not what I said but randy still was able to get the belt at that age.

Ok so your making all these arguements that Chuck wasnt that great then let me ask you who do you think was?? So what are you pride huggers and Chuck haters going to say after he smashes shogun the pride posterboy out at nearly 40 years old?? Are you kidding me if you dont think at least 80% of pride fighters were on roids that were banned in the UFC you are retarded. They kicked Barnett out of the UFC for that shit. Funny how he had no problems in pride though huh and trust me he didnt stop i went to Ballar high school with dude and i know how he does it.

Now what were you were saying about chuck knocking out Shogun.

 

[rylor206]

At least i had the balls to back my fighter up you didnt say shit about shogun because you werent to sure were you. I knew this could happen. Shit Chuck still hasnt tapped out has shogun?

 

[Shogun Locc]

At least i had the balls to back my fighter up you didnt say shit about shogun because you werent to sure were you. I knew this could happen. Shit Chuck still hasnt tapped out has shogun?

Please Chuck got Koed 4:28 in the first round you did not know shit you said an I quote "So what are you pride huggers and Chuck haters going to say after he smashes shogun the pride posterboy out at nearly 40 years old??" and who won the fight. Thats right Shogun

 

[SLRider510]

[Shaniac]

i knew liddell would lose. he needs to be sent down to the minor leagues lol

 

[MrPeete]

Called it...

That was a TKO right?

 

[T-Rip]

fuck i hate work... made me miss it.....was it fuckin awesome?

no it wasnt, you didnt miss a damn thing expect Chucks pathetic old beer belly ass attempting to do what he use to do and getting dropped by a punch that would maybe daze most fighters but certainly wouldnt drop them

 

[Unk1ne]

lmfao those pride dudes once they get used to the cage are gettin that UFC ass

 

[rylor206]

Please Chuck got Koed 4:28 in the first round you did not know shit you said an I quote "So what are you pride huggers and Chuck haters going to say after he smashes shogun the pride posterboy out at nearly 40 years old??" and who won the fight. Thats right Shogun

Shogun Rua fighter (savage)
Shogun locc (no life)

 

[WayCide-Ridah]

yeah!! liddell goes down...again

 

[Shogun Locc]

Shogun Rua fighter (savage)
Shogun locc (no life)

Is that the best you can do LOL how pathetic. Just cuz your favorite fighter got KOed in the first Round does not mean you need to act like a sensitive female catching feelings.

 

[f31roger]

shogun was a monster in Pride. but not lately IMO. While i'm a shogun fan and i dont agree with chuck liddell's fighting, I might have to give it to chuck.

i hope i'm wrong.

I'm glad I was wrong.

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

Exactly what I thought would of happened 4 years ago happened in the present. Sho-goon(LIKE BRAZILIANS SAY IT) whooped that ass!! If he continues to take it serious everybody better watch out. Dude has always had the most potential out of anybody in that division.

 

[Arson]

looks like shogun got some undetectable steroids.
