There are really two sides to the hype that Chuck would beat Rampage in the rematch.
1.The ideal that Rampage had declined - I think theres some substance to the idea that Rampage didn't look great between losing to Shogun and beating Chuck although part of that is I'd say that he shifted in style more towards counter punching, actually making him more dangerous for Chuck.
2.The idea that Liddell had improved greatly, this was really just UFC BS made up to try and excuse his original loss, in reality I think Chuck had been showing signs of decline late in his title run taking punishment from Babalu and Tito much more easily than in the first matches with them.
Huh? Babalu got fucking sparked a little over a minute in after running blindly forward and landing nothing of any consequence.
