I am not a Liddell fan but I do not think he sucks, he is a very good fighter but he is no way the best. I think he lost 2 times to Rampage because stylewise Rampage is a bad match up for Liddell, Rampage is a brawler and can take a punch, his recenet loses were by way of knee strikes, Liddell does not throw knees. Liddell also gets rocked a lot by punches, it happened to him against Sobral and Tito Ortiz, both times he was able to snap back into it and win but Rampage is a much tougher striker then both of these guys. Liddell does not suck, he is a good fighter but he is not the best, that is why Ramage beat him, Rampage is a superior fighter.

Well I think this lost was more about just getting caught than the first one.
In the first fight Rampage just dominated him, Rampage was a different fighter back then though.
I still think Chuck is a better fighter than Rampage right now, I just think he got caught.
Sh*t happens, sometimes someone lands a blow on the button and there isn't much you can do about it.
Rampage wasn't really dominating up to that point, it was a pretty even feeling out, Rampage just landed a good shot. Puncher's chance it could happen to anyone really.
I don't think it makes Chuck suck. I don't think Chuck is that amazing to begin with, though he has beaten some serious dudes. Chuck is pretty technically sloppy, and anyone who has better technique stand up wise stands a good chance with him.
What makes Chuck so good is his sprawl, his ability to get back up to his feet even after being taken down, and his accuracy. That and like a shark once you get in trouble with him, he smells blood in the water and is able to finish you off.
He's good, I definately don't think he sucks. He got caught, that's all. He will probably have a good comeback, but I am not sure he can beat Dan Henderson. (The guy who is fighting Rampage next, and will probably take his belt)

Well I think the thing is is that there is no guy in the UFC that can go punch for punch with Chuck Liddell. Liddell was the best striker in the UFC and when he fought Jackson he was not able to prepare for him since he never faced a guy who can take a beating and still come at you full force.
This also shows such a higher level Pride FC is at than the UFC, because Rampage is not even the top light heavy weight in Pride and he beat the UFC's top guy twice.

doesnt suck at all....thats pretty dumb of you to say actually. Thats like saying everyone in the 205 weight division sucks except Rampage. Someone can always beat someone.
Tito has Shamrocks number
Chuck has Titos number
Ramage has Chucks number
Shogun has Rampages number
It could keep goin on and on....you can be great...but there is always someone better.

No fighter is invincible, and there is no shame in losing to a great fighter like Rampage Jackson.
Great fighters lose too, with that logic we could say that Randy Couture sucks because he lost to Chuck Liddell, and Kem Shamrock sucks because he lost to Tito, and both fighters are legends.

He definitely doesn't suck. He's beaten a list of "who's who" in the UFC...most coming by way of a brutal KO. Rampage just seems to have that style that gave Liddell fits. I blame overconfidence more in the 2nd fight than anything.

look.. the man is a future hall of famer.. i'd like to see you tell him he sucks to his face.. but of course being the gentleman that he is he'd probably just look at you with pity and walk by..
in all walks of competition there is always the great, and always someone greater.. for every fighter there is that person that just has the right style to beat yours.. it's unavoidable and inevitable..
what you do after that is accept and adjust.. study and learn.. and if it's meant to be you can step back up and overcome or get beaten down again and accept that that person just has your number..
but just think, how many numbers did you have.....?
i like rampage a lot...
but chuck will always be my man!

Liddel is one intimidating dude. Even if you think you're tough, he still can put fear into just about anyone out there. You do have to concider the fact that he is 37 years old and at this point your body recovers slower, you have to prepare much harder, and still there is a chance you're going to be a step slower. Once he realizes this, he will re-adjust his style a bit and will be able to out-hussle, not out-muscel his oppenets. You'll see.

I don't think he sucks, he's a great fighter. But Rampage is on another level.
Just because Kobe Bryant scores 81, it doesn't mean LeBron James sucks :)

No, I do not share your same feeling He was the best the UFC had, that does not necessarily make him the best in the world, just one of the best. You get on that level and any of these guys like Rampage can whoop that a ss on any given night.
