Prime Chuck Liddell would have beaten prime Shogun

[DanDragon Machi]

I think both reach a very similar level in them prime, but if I had to choice one it would be Chuck:

More punch power
Way better take down denfense
More reach
Same level striking

Shogun was better in ground, better ching and better take downs, but I don't think he would take Liddell down more than once

Rua was an amazing striker but with the exception of Rampage his victories in his against the best of Pride were took them down and ground n pound. He was losing in striking by Overeem in both them fights and could take advantange on Minotouro only when take the fight to the ground. Chuck out struck Vitor and Overeem. The best feat of Shogun in my opinion was to be able to match Machida on stand up

Prime Shogun by CTE-inducing KO

 

[Luthien]

No way

Shogun had way more skill I love him!

I think Chuck had more power for sure, would have been interesting to see but not sure who would win. Chuck before chin went vs prime Shogun, someone getting KTFO.

Chuck didn't outstrike Overeem, he caught him with an overhand bomb. Before that big punch Overeem was landing the better shots.

See Prime Shogun vs Prime Rampage. Yes MMAth sucks and not surefire but I don't think Chuck would've beat Shogun.
And unless you say Prime Chuck was only the fights between Rampage he lost twice in his prime.

And Shogun would taken down 100 times by Randy Couture in UFC. See what Coleman did with him in Pride....

Sherdog thinks Benson Henderson would have beat Khabib

That’s why Dana shipped him off to bellator. He was protecting Khabib

Your mmamath sucks as bad as your thread.

Mmamath relies on a common opponent.

Rua never fought Handy and Chuck never fought Mark Coleman.

They fought page in their primes though
