LHW dream fight... Who takes it?

I imagine a lot of people will say Rumble, but Prime Chuck hit so hard and had a decent chin before his downfall.

I would probably say Rumble by knockout but it would be amazing to watch.

Who would win this?
 
It would be a great match, tough call but I would give Chuck the edge.
 
Chuck was never as good against guys who could actually hit him back.

His run as champ was almost all vs grapplers. For me Rumble gets it.
 
Love Chuck but Rumble is the nightmare math-up for him. Would probably play out similar to Chuck vs Rampage.
 
Chuck had deadly accuracy and a relentless style once he snuck that first punch through. Rumble has a great way of pawing with his left hand, disrupting vision, and throwing that right out of nowhere, even when you know it's coming.

Biased me would say Prime Chuck, but it could very well be a toss up. Rampage had Chuck's #, so maybe Rumble would be the same?

Would watch though.

Rumble vs Prime...

Wanderlai, Rampage, Chuck, Shogun, 205 Reem (I just wanna watch Reem get KO'ed, I know) would all be excellent fights...
 
People forget that Chuck was an excellent collegiate wrestler with very good conditioning. If Anthony Johnson doesn't KO someone early, by the middle of the 2nd round, he's usually walking around with his mouth wide open, gasping for air.. Rumble will have a punchers chance with anyone on the planet... But I give this fight to Chuck 9 out of 10 times... I'd WATCH the fight 10 out of 10 times..

Yes.... I'm an extremely biased Chuck fan.... Sorry guys :(
 
thats not a dream fight.

Chuck vs hendo would have been




And sorry chuck fans, rumble smokes him.

Watch Rumble vs Phil Davis you goof.
 
Rumble.

Rumble has yet to lose the stand up battle.

He loses when someone takes him down.

Chuck would get KTFO.
 
How good Rumble's chin is? I don't think it has ever been tested
 
Anthony Johnson would win easily due to the fact that Chuck was extremely hittable for anyone who had some idea of the standup game.
 
I'd feel relatively confident putting my money on Rumble.
 
Rumble easily. On the feet, Rumble is the superior fighter but Chuck did have decent wrestling though mostly used to keep the fight standing. Prime Chuck would struggle with most top 10 LHWs, his success came against fighters that we today don't think that highly of (in terms of skill).
 
Good match-up, the aggressive headhunter vs the counter puncher, I think Chuck would land his counter but have no idea how Rumble would react, if he eats it a keep coming forward I think he'll overwhelm Chuck and get the finish, or it goes the other way and the counter either finishes Rumble or hurts him and make him timid enough for Liddell to win a UD.
 
Easy win for Chuck. Solid chin and cardio would him the fight.


Rumble wouldn't know how to fight a fighter who's striking is predicated off the backpedal and can't shoot desperation TDs against. Chuck would keep his distance in the first and counter before going out and KOing Rimble in the second.

Anyone picking Rumble is simple too swayed by the HL reel or hasn't really watched Chuck fight in his Prime... No your fight pass subscription doesn't count
