The End For Chuck Liddell
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
am i the onlyone wondering what happened with liddel he specifically said he changed his game up to be more careful an defensive.To me he looked like the same chuck who Rashad and Rampage Knocked out no head movement and no blocking.He had Rua on his back and let him right up for no reason what so ever.
Yeah chucks done its not a matter of him gettiing "caught"i mean when you get caugth 3 of 5 times and get handled by Jardine and your 39 than its time to call it quits before he ruins his legacy. I think its better for the UFC anyway that Rua won hes a far more talented fighter and he can beat the likes of Rampage, Evans in my opinion where as if Chuck would he would get handled by any of those guys i think Luis Cane would be to much for him right now. Hopefully Rua is back and we can see plenty of greta fights and Chuck if it is the last time thank you for all the great times and you are a legend and the reason a lot of people started watching MMA.
Chuck has been offered a position as the face of the UFC by Dana. He should take it, his days as a fighter are finished. He has shown amazing class, and brilliance as a fighter, and athlete, and will surely be enshrined in the UFC HOF. He needs to take some acting classes, and get behind a microphone. I would LOVE the ICEMAN MMA show, the sport desperately needs it right now. He will also be the PERFECT ambassador for the sport we all love.
No need to miss the spotlight Chuck, it is time to reap the reward you deserve so much. Ask Rogan if he misses any of the ladies... LOL He will be the first to tell you he gets his share.
Please do not blemish the incredible good will you have worked so hard for... Make the right choice... God Speed.
I'd like to see Chuck hang em' up, while he still has the respect and admiration that he deserves for he has done for MMA. Personally, I would like to see him do something like the post fight interviews that Joe Rogan does, or something like that that keeps him in the forefront.

Please n00b. don't try and tell me what I thought until you have more than a couple posts. I might be the only guy in the JFC who went on record calling this fight for Shogun. I never expected chuck to win.
I'm impressed with chuck because he made it to round two.

Chuck didn't make it to Round 2. So, rather than rebutting the guy you quoted, you're giving Chuck credit for something he didn't do. Plus, suggesting that he couldn't have done better???? I can think of many results better than losing by TKO in the first round. Whether you are a Chuck fan in denial or not, your post gives the impression that you are.
Secondly, what relevance is the number of posts a person has made on this site? If someone with 2,000 posts were to say that Chuck looked slow and his chin is gone, would you be more likely to accept it? A handful of people using the forums as a substitute for a personal messenger doesn't guarantee their posts are well thought out, or that they are any more knowledgeable than the "unreal" fans that only participate on topic.
I'm not trying to attack you personally, but you're the second person this week that has posted something along the lines of "I've made way more posts here than you have. Therefore, your point of view is irrelevant and unwelcome. Go post somewhere else and don't come back until you have at least 500 posts on this forum."

Glad to see you put him in his place
Post count means nothing, It's the quality of the post that counts
I am totally gutted Chuck lost again, I read his book & he is one of my favourite fighters. I don't want to see him getting knocked out again.
As far as him fighting in a Strikeforce event or any other for that matter wont happen. If anyone has read his book or knows him personally will tell you, His friends are his family & he would never s--- on them. He has a future in the UFC I just don't see it in the ring
If that was the last we have seen of the iceman in the ring I want to thank him personally for helping get me into MMA
Legend in every sense of the word
I thought Chuck looked good until shogun hit him with the left hook. he landed shots in the stand-up. i thought it was weird that he didnt atleast attempt alil ground and pound when he got the take down but oh well. I've never really been a 'chuck fan' but i don't think he should retire. he could have great fights still left in the tank. chuck - cantwell or chuck- kang could be interestiong fights.
I wouldn't be surprised if chuck gave forrest a good fight also

With the exit of another war icon, this 51 y.o. is running out of reasons to keep paying $45 every pay-per-view, premium rates for a crap load of up-starts and no-name rookies. And the last fight that my wife really enjoyed was Gina Carano's last fight. I'm getting older and my wife would rather watch girls fight each other any day of the week, than guys. Hey Dana (or whoever else wants my future money), do you want to keep getting my money down the road? Start a "40-plus" division and girls league. Try one Saturday per month, two hours of fights, $9.95 per pay-per-view. This old fogey will bite.....any other takers? Let's all get the point across to the Fertita's that older people enjoy the sport, and women too. I am looking forward to another Chuck/Tito match-up. And if Tito can come up with a good defense for Chuck's eye-gouges, Tito will spank Chuck's @$$ next time!!!

i don't think 51 is among the age target audience anyways.
I'm 28, and I'll pay the $45 to see anderson or mir and Dana is fine with that!
you can, however, look forward to hopefully seeing gina/cyborg.
-or try giving the young guys a chance.

kang??? kang is a MW...
Chuck cannot defend like he used, the reflex action is not there.
- Rampage, clean shot, not partial block, nothing.
- Jardine, knocked him down with another clean shot.
- V. Silva, yet another clean shot knocekd him down.
- Rashad, just like Rampage, not defense at all.
- Rua, no reaction, slow the tape, Chuck never reacts and take sit clean.
If you watch fights and then slow it down, you see many big shots partially blocked or the puncher has to react to a defensive move and alter the punch just enough so it is not as devasting. Chuck does not seem to have the hand eye coordination anymore to do this, he always took some shots, but not as clean as the last 5 fights.
He is either slower, or his vision is nto what used to be. Vision is huge in the striking game, ask a boxer. You can't stop what you can't see.
Simply put, Chuck Liddell will always symbolize in my mind the UFC, he put them on the map bringing fans to the UFC who'd never had a clue what MMA was, he was on the cover of every sporting mag in mags who had never heard of the sport..it pisses me off that some no class keyboard moron would dis him.. especially here. IMO, all fighters have weaknesses and if you can cut it long enough and get old enough they get beat, fighter's don't know when to quit furchristsake--never have. Chuck Liddell will always be synonymous with building the fanbase for the UFC and that he will NEVER lose!
Thanks Chuck

I still think his retirement was done wrong. I wouldn't even mind seeing him in one final fight, where we know it will be his last.
Imagine the buys that will get and it could definitely headline a card.

Although I don't think Chuck should fight anymore, I do agree that it was wrong of Joe Rogan
to press him about retirement right after the fight, He should've just let Chuck make the announcement on his own time.

in my opinion he looked bad not because he got knocked out again but how he got KO'ed a lunging left hook that he should of evaded or blocked but he did neither but hit the mat

Robbery, hammerfists to the back of the head, stand 'em up and take a point from Rua.
