Dana commentating on this fight is gold. Oh and if you recall Dana put a bet on Chuck for a measly 250k. I'm surprised a lookoutawhale-esqe vid hasn't been made of it. Strange to see how well spoken Chuck is in the beginning of the video. Oh and RIP PRIDE.

Fighting a Rampage with training camp... Is Normal. But losing that fight gave us a classic Page vs Wanderlei I...

Early Wandy vs Chuck though I would've loved to see. The version we got was certainly lackluster.
 
Bas kept him in check after the whining got out of hand. This was an opportunity for cue ball to demonstrate the superiority of UFC over pride and upchuck couldn’t handle the heat. I would have at least had the decency to point out how rampage skillfully dominated a dangerous opppnent without being a total shit about the entire thing, but Mr.Clean had to moan like a type-2, river hippo at a long line for the dollar menu.
 
Never understand how people have Chuck above Rampage all time

Rampage wrecked him twice in his prime

They were both past their prime, but the fight was pretty great

Because styles makes fights? Chuck probably has a better resume then Rampage
 
DW and his stupid hockey or whatever clothing lol, Rampage decimated his best fighter

Ehh not really. He has more defenses for the LHW title, but arguing Rampage over Chuck all time is definitely possible

Not even close. He has less fights and did less in those fights. His whole prime in the UFC is filled with mediocre guys and only beating a few elite people. There was a time in his prime where his chief rival was Tito.
 
Such a great fight, hadn't seen it in a while. It's weird cause when I think of Chuck's losses it's him getting flatlined. But Rampage just sonned him in this fight. That final round, Chuck was just getting it put to him, zero respect for his power at that point and Chug looked lost.

Rampage is easily better all the time I don’t think it’s even close.

Off the bat Rampage beat

Prime Hendo
Wand
Chuck twice
Jardine- He also beat Chuck
Machida

Chuck beat
Randy
Tito
Vitor
Reem

One can argue that is close but he literally got his ass whooped twice by rampage. There is your tiebreaker.
 
Also rampage much later in his career remained reasonably competitive. You didn’t basically touch him with a punch and he went unconscious.
 
Wish we could have had a camera on Dana while Rampage was beating that ass
 
It's easy to bag on Dana, but if you watch the end of the fight after the towel is thrown in, Dana says he brought a team over to get chuck ready for his 2nd fight that night if he won. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm guessing it was a team of like massage therapists and maybe even doctors etc to help Chuck cooldown and then get ready again. He sent that team to Rampage's locker room after the fight since he won. I've always thought that was a really classy move.
