You know someone is overrated when they get the crap beat out of them by a supposed underdog, and yet people still say they're GREAT!!!!, then they get the crap beat out of them again by said "underdog" dig?

Chuck's career was based on beating up cans-basically decent wrestlers with sub-par striking skills. His style was tailored to beat these guys. Tito Ortiz is the king of them. Tito "King of the Cans" Ortiz.
The reason Chuck was groomed by Dana is because his tattooed, mohawked, WWE image appealed to the typical UFC fan.
He puts asses in the seats.

Chuck was never the ELITE STRIKER he was made out to be by Dana. He couldn't hold Wanderlei's Jock.
He beat Randy because Randy is a wrestler that went toe-to-toe with a pretty good striker instead of sticking to his guns.

Styles makes fights, and Chuck matches up well against Randy, and doesn't against Page.  Page was not lucky TWICE.  In both fights, HE OWNED Chuck.  Chuck's style of lead hand down to block a shot, hands at the waist to get underhooks, stepping to the side and throwing looping punches is great against grappling based fighters.  Terrible against elite strikers. 

By the same token Page hasn't shown that he can deal with the muay thai plum, and was devastated by two Rudimar Fedrigo trained fighters in Shogun and Wandy.  Wandy, with his short arms, and looping punches doesn't match up well against Chuck, so MMAth doesn't work.  Something our Shotokhan (mispelled on porpoise for pun, as well as a mamalian reference and alliteration) expert fails to grasp.  But logical analysis sometimes eludes experts in unarmed combat. 

My predictions:

Page by TKO in the fourth.  Although I love Hendo, and recently had the pleasure of training with him.

Mirko by ref stoppage in the second.  Counterpuncher who won't have to worry about a shot, and will pick apart Kongo. 

Hammer by TKO in the second.  He will put the Count against the fence, and keep him there.  A barrage of elbows stops the fight. 

Davis by TKO in the second.

Alexander by brutal KO using dirty boxing in the first. 

My boy Anthony Torres by Kimura in the first.

On paper Dan is a better fighter. I think he would pull a 2 outta 3.

But how many would have known Cro Cop would lose? 
I'm the only person here to post that prediction. ;D

Houston is a beast.
I would like to see him fight some upper B-level fighter like Chuck Liddell or Ortiz.
If he can beat Chuck he's a serious contender.

Very impressed with Page's side control.  He was able to keep Hendo on his back for a good amount of time and rack up the points.

Throughout, I was pretty sure Dan would pull a victory. The only thing that had me nervous is Ramp's "wildcard factor."
He can pull out those big bombs any moment and completely turn a fight around.

I was surprised how well Rampage was controlling him on the ground. I think it's just brute strength really.
Dan seemed to tire fairly quickly too, though he was getting a second wind in the last round.

Oh well good fight.
Maybe he moves down a weight class.
