Author Topic: Why doesn't Chuck go to 206... (Read 3963 times)

And whip Coutures ass again? LHW is getting pretty crowded now, although I am sure he will get the winner of Rampage-Henderson. But he beat the piss out of Randy the last two times, why not just creep up in weight and do it again?

Dude, imagine how that gut will look if he goes up in weight.

His style would be destroyed by the Cro Cops and Kongos of the world...
The legitimate elite strikers...
Because striking is Chuck's forte, and the heavies are saturated with major talent now.

Chuck is part of the old guard that will be permanently relegated to B-class status.
I would be a happy man if Chuck, Leben, Bisping, Forrest Griffin, and Rich Franklin never make another appearance.

He could get up to 206 and beat Randys ass again.

Possibly... if Randy's ego forces him to make it a boxing match.

I doubt he will ever beat Randy again though. He's starting to look out of shape.

But who knows, 'puncher's chance' eh?

Chucks problem is he got hooked on prescription drugs, if he can kick the habit and start training hard again, he may have a few more good years. Either way, he would whip Randys ass imo.

I saw the interview where he couldn't talk. Willa said in a Maxim interview that he was abusing them as well.

Chuck's style of fighting is suited to beat grapplers who want to take him down. Name me ONE elite striker in his weight class that he has beaten. (Mezger isn't an elite striker, nor is Overeem, and both had Chuck loopey) He would get chewed on and spat out by a Mirko, Chiek Kongo, Napao would brutalize him, Vera could beat him on his feet and on the ground.

That's what I'm saying. I'm in total agreement.

Perhaps those guys would beat him, but he would kick Randys ass again. Thats is all I suggested.

Do you think Dana would let Chuck go to heavyweight, or likes him at light-heavy, especailly with all the elite fighters they have now, but hell, maybe a 1 fight deal at heavy wouldn't be the worse idea, but as of late, call me crazy, but i think Randy might pull it off for a second time

IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT................... ........................ ...........OH HELL YES IT IS!

good point he should do it, get a direct shot at the title, beat randy, take the money and retire!

Retiring now would be dumb. Purses are going to go through the roof in the next couple of years imo. 3 or 4 more years of making a few million a year would be in his best interest.

but that is assuming he would stay a title holder as a heavy weight and not just fighting chuck unless you mean he should drop down again

No, big names=big paychecks whether they are still on top of their games or not. See Ken, Tito, and Royce.

Except when it involved Vov and knees on the ground.

LatsMcGee · « **Reply #20 on:** September 07, 2007, 02:55:07 PM »

I don't think Chuck would beat Randy at HW. I think Randy is too comfortable at the weight and Chuck wouldn't be able to handle Randy in his natural weight.

Iraclese · « **Reply #21 on:** September 07, 2007, 05:35:34 PM »

Chuck would get killed by Couture now in the HWD, he's a different fighter, his striking has improved by leaps and bounds and he has the eye of the tiger again. He didn't have it the last two times him and chuck fought. Also randy is really strong, chuck wouldn't be able to handle his power at that weight class, did you see him smash gonzaga who was over 250 pounds with a beautiful slam??? It was awesome.

Agreed. Chuck would have to poke both of Randy's eyes out to win this time.
