I don't think Quinton Jackson can beat him the 2nd time around. Mirko CroCop can do it, but he will have an issue with not being able to kick a downed opponent.

They are in different weight classes....So the answer is NO! Cro Cop has signed a multi fight contract with the UFC for over a million a fight and he was brought in because the UFC Heavyweight Division is terrible...Chuck will also loose his belt to Rampage Jackson who is too strong and will have no problem throwing Chuck all over the ring...P.S. review their last fight...Chuck blasted this guy and did not move him

I would say probably not in 2007 because Crocop will be too busy kicking in Silvas big head, but probably in 2008 if Liddell survives a rematch with Jackson and whom ever else is thrown his way. Another thing is, yes Crocop is a HW, but he fights at between 210 and 220 so losing 5 to 15 pounds to drop down to LHW at 205 wouldnt be hard at all for him to do. Everyone seems to think Crocops like 250 or something, but hes not that much bigger then most LHWs.

No not in 2007, maybe 2008. High Caliber fighters typically fight 3-4 fights a year, maybe 5 if they dont suffer any injuries. Rampage will have to beat Marvin Eastman on Feb 3rd (He's no pushover and beat Rampage in his MMA debut) and probably one more opponent (He has publicly stated he wants at least two fights before Chuck) Cro Cop will spend 2007 conquering the heavyweight division and in 2008 if the competition is low there are rumors he might drop down to 205, but I seriously doubt that too, by 2008 the UFC pocketbooks will be big enough to bring in more big names (Dana wants Fedor bad).
And think about it Chuck is the UFC moneymaker, the previous live gate record for a UFC event was just over 3 million and Chucks last fight broke the 5 million dollar mark not to mention the 1.2 million pay per view buys! Why in the world would the UFC feed their posterboy to #2 Heavyweight in the world? Doesn't make money sense so it won't happen!

In 2007? probably not.
Cro Cop was brought over to bolster the Heavyweight division so he will spend most of his 2007 in that weight class.
Assuming he establishes himself as top dog in the HW division (which i think he will) he might drop down to 205 for a fight with Chuck. Hes not the biggest HW in the world so its not unrealistic for him to make that cut.
If that were to happen I would have to pick Cro Cop, he may not be able to kick you when you're down but he can kick you while you're standing.
Personally I think Chuck is going to have a tough fight with Rampage. Granted their first fight happened a while ago, but Rampage is a dangerous fighter, that should be a good one.

Not unless one of them changes weight classes. If so, anything is possible. Cro cop signed a two-year deal for six fights. Before Chuck gets a chance at him though, Chuck will have to make it past Rampage Jackson.

Norris can beat every person in a wrestle you may comprehend that. in consumer-friendly words human being to ever beat Norris is Bruce Lee and Chuck beat him in a rematch so definately Norris. And sure "Norris is Invicible" LOL
