Chuck should fight Rua or Jardine. Since jardine is out of the question (I agree he shouldn't be however) he must face Rua.

Even if he wins Shogun is fighting just 2 months before that. That leaves less thatn 8 weeks to have a full camp. That's not even including if he incurs any damage which would garnish a medical suspension. Plus how many fighters in the UFC recently (besides Koscheck)have fought in that amount of time. It's just not gonna happen. I think his next fight should be Jardine. If Chuck wins he might show he has a future. If not there is nothing for him to say. You lost twice to mid-tier fighter, it's time for a change. There is no way Chuck would be able to fight Shogun in March. Even if he wins Shogun is fighting just 2 months before that.

I reckon Dana will keep Chucks last few fights as showcases for London and Germany in 2009. They need his recognisable mug and international marketability to push UFC as a business....maybe one biggie in Vegas next year end ? He needs to fight Shogun possibly Hendo and maybe even Forrest. youngbloods are taking over.

Another match against Wanderlei does nothing for either man's career at this stage. I wouldn't mind seeing that rematch, but let's do it a little further down the road.

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:34:58 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=10521#comment-62092 Maybe these fighters whom are easily knocked out (chuck and wandy) should face more jiu-jitzu guys as opposed to big strikers. If Dana is will to give Yushin Okami a shot at middleweight then he will probably give Lyoto a shot at Evans if he wins. Otherwise a Chuck/Machida or Wandy/Machida fight would be good. A KO is loss looks horrible for your image particularly when your older. If they want these guys to fall gracefully then they should not put them against big strikers. I will hardly call Jardine a tomato can, he has some notable wins plus he's Greg Jackson. So a Jardine match up may not be the best idea.

Alexander would probably play right into Chuck's counterstrike strategy, but it would be fun while it lasted. After losing 3 out of his last 4, does Liddell really need stiffer competition? Let him get that one KO under his belt (even against lesser competition) so that his fans can start to believe again. Chuck vs. Houston Alexander …. now there’s a barn-burner.

He fought good against Chuck and damn near killed jardine! So now Rampage ko's him and he's done just like that? I don't think so. I don’t see why everyone is counting Wanderlei out.
