Sohan Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 ....provided Chuck gets past Babalu first.I'm a fan of Chuck Liddell, but there's something about Babalu that I've always liked. He's got an tough attitude and a grittiness about him that I enjoy seeing in a fighter. I think Chuck will probably beat him again, but Renato certainly has had some interesting fights over the years. He's beaten Mauricio Rua and lost a decision to Fedor. He hasn't lost since Chuck-Babalu 1, and he's beaten some decent competition since then. As a master of submission, he's only gotten better at the ground game while Liddell prefers to stay on his feet. Chuck's theme for his title defenses have been rematches, but this is a dangerous one for him, as the tables could get turned. Gonna be a good one!With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

UseoForce Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 The only thing Chuck has to be worried about is being overconfident/unfocused. Chuck is an incredibly gifted fighter (But don't tell Xyience that). He used to have poor cardio, but that's not a problem anymore. People say he is weak on the ground, but is totally unsubstantiated. Just because he chooses NOT to fight there doesn't mean he CAN'T fight there. I've said it time and time again: It's Chuck's amazing counter-grappling skills that make him an awesome striker. He can throw bombs without fear of being taken down. Chuck's own ground/wrestling skills are top notch, and as long as Chuck stays focused, he has nothing to fear. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
