Nothing could stop me from watching that one.

Rampage is always hard to predict. You never know if he's going to show up with or without his heart. Regardless, he hasn't improved and Liddell has, so I'm gonna pick Chuck to KO him with wild flailing punches.

[Hambergler]

I enjoyed the slams, but they scare me. Odds are too high that if slams like that continue to happen, someone is going to end up paralyzed or dead. I have no problem with broken arms, but broken necks will destroy the sport.

And I also would like Rampage to win.

im voting for chuck all the way!

I won't get to watch it because I will be at a wedding . I am going with Chuck though

[TheBigC]

Already have the popcorn and can't wait for the fight!!! Chuck is motivated by the fact that this is the last person he has to revenge a loss against. He punished the last two, curious how this one will be..

As always, I'll be watching UFC at home on PPV. My money's on Chuck.

I have to go with Rampage on this one. The man is an animal, and after the last beating he got, I think Chuck is nervous as hell. He has a big image to live up to, but I don't think Jackson has any of those doubts in himself.

I do think Chuck's a strong enough fighter to keep Jackson out of his face for a while though, and I think it could be a boring fight, with lots of slow stand-up at the start. It depends on how "flashy" Jackson wants to be, certainly Lidell isn't known for his shownmanship...

I can't watch it, we don't get it boadcast in the UK live, but I'll see it as soon as I can. Despite my comments, I'm really looking forward to this one!

Who is Rampage? Some guy who happened to beat Liddell.

Jeremy Horn and Randy Couture are two insanely talented and long-time MMA fighters that Chuck came back from a loss on and ended them both. He even bothered to end Randy twice. Of course, then Couture jumped up a weight class and dominated Tim, but hey: the guy's a stud.

Chuck's loss to Jackson was almost 10 fights ago. Since that time he has dominated his weight class, avenged two losses from two flat-out better fighters than Jackson. Chuck hasn't been sitting around, beating down any rookies. His fights are generally up against veterans (which is understandable when you consider he's the title holder).

Can Jackson knock out Chuck? Sure, he's got the power and he's damn good fighter. But it's going to be an upset as I've seen Liddell's progression since that loss. I saw the Jackon/Liddell fight. Chuck was different than he normally was. I don't know if he was intimidated or just gun shy after his loss to Couture.

But I will tell you this: if Chuck wasn't intimidated taking on a UFC hall-of-famer twice and a guy with a record like Horn's after devastating losses to both of them: Rampage is not going to have a chance at scaring him.

Anyways, forget Jackson. I want White to give Rashad Evans his shot at the title so Chuck can make him 15 and 1.

Twice.

Man, on the replays you can see the lights go off in Liddell's eyes. They're open but no one is home.
