I think we are going to see a more wrestling oriented Chuck in this fight. We might see Rich on his back a few times.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Chuck use the fence and clinch.

Barry is going to get the KO of the forever against Cro Cop, I'm calling it now.

I am a fan of both, but seeing that Cro Cop hasn’t had a spectacular KO in the UFC yet, I would like to see the opposite of what you said. To be honest though, I agree with what you wrote.

True nuff

Unless Mirko has the miraculous career renaissance that he’s been promising for so long, he is gonna get thrashed

The factor here is Chuck's jaw

he’s an icon of the sport with one of it’s most impressive legacies behind him, but the sad fact is that all the evidence suggests Lidell’s chin has totally gone.
I remember reading an interview where Chuck was claiming that a long layoff would somehow rectify this (something to do with fluid levels around the brain I think, though I may be recalling incorrectly). I don’t know whether that’s true or not but if it isn’t then he’s going down fast. Ace carries decent power.
If this fight is another embarassing KO loss then it MUST be time for Iceman to hang up the gloves. He has nothing to prove to anybody and his health has to take priority, surely

Pat Barry

Dude seems like a total toolbag

by olimario on Jun 3, 2010 8:16 PM EDT reply actions

actually

one of the best people out there in MMA today hands down. Him and I walked around the Arnold’s together for an other just talking, and he allowed me to leg kick him as well.

He comes off like a jackass in the video, but he’s a real great guy.

Well...

Most people don’t know him in real life.
He should reconsider how he conducts himself on camera.

AND I WAS LIKE BANG BOOM! HEADSHOT! WWHOOOOO YEEEAHHHH! :\

That’s him when he’s not completely psyched out by being on camera for a UFC countdown show.

I’m thinking about betting a lot on Rich. Good idea?

If Rich is the Underdog, Yes.

Chuck punches really hard. That’s the only thing that would worry me. Franklin could outwork him all fight and then Chuck lands that overhand bomb and its over.
