I do since he was getting beat so bad he asked his corner to throw in the towel before he was killed literally!

No, I think he will take the loss gracefully like he did last time.

You crack me up. You are so painfully biased in favor of Pride, but yet somehow know what happened at the latest UFC event? Rampage isn't fighting in Pride right now for a reason - he couldn't compete with the top fighters in the division. What makes you think he can still compete with Chuck? He won the fight in 2003 because Chuck was fighting in a tournament under Pride rules and he gassed. Watch the fight again and you'll see that he caught Rampage with some good shots, but had nothing on them, then got countered and lost. Chuck has improved as a fighter since and Rampage has not. I do think that Pride has a better talent pool than the UFC, but not to the discredit of UFC's top fighters. Chuck will beat Rampage, he would've beaten Silva if the two organizations could've come to terms. However, I think Shogun Rua is the best LHW in the world despite the rankings.

I'm going to have to give Chuck the edge based on recent fights from both fighters. Not sure what you mean by doing a "Forrest Griffin". Forrest just lost, I happen to of picked Jardine, although I thought he would win by decision and dominate with leg kicks.
Rampage would of been a better fight if the rematch was closer to the first fight. Now he is likely just going to be the final loss Chuck has to avenge. And I am no Chuck fan by any means.

The "Iceman" has never lost to the same person twice. He has had rematches against two of the three fighters he has lost to, and he dominated those fighters in the rematches. There is no way in hell he would lose to "Rampage" again. I am not a gambler, but I would be willing to put money on that. That would be easy money betting on the "Iceman" in that fight. One person that answered your question said "Chuck's only notable wins were "Bobalu" and "The Natural". Give me a freakin' break! Here are some of Chuck's notable wins: Tito Ortiz twice, Renato Sobral ("Bobalu") twice, Randy "The Natural" Couture twice, Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort, Guy Mezger, Jeff "The Snowman" Monson, and Jeremy "Gumby" Horn to name a few. Chuck Liddell will be the UFC Light Heavy-Weight Champion for a long time and "Rampage" is not going to change that.

I can't wait to see this match up!
I haven't seen much of RAMPAGE, but from what I've read, Liddell's days as champion are numbered.
Unfortunately, they've got Rampage fighting someone else in February. So I'm guessing that he won't be meeting Liddell until at least April or May. That's one I'll be looking forward to, THAT'S for sure.

I dont know.......The only notable wins by Chuck are against Babalu and Randy...cant say he has improved since their last matchup. And we all know that rampage is not fighting like he once did. Just look at Lindland v. Rampage.
tossup really
