Serra/GSP vs Liddell/Jackson 2

It occured to me recently how similar these fights are and now I'd like to ask the question:

If Liddell/Jackson 1 never happened, would people see Liddell/Jackson 2 in the same light as GSP/Serra?

GSP/Serra: "GSP got caught." "he'd win 99/100"

Liddell/Jackson 2 "Jackson dominated him." "Bad style match up for Chuck." "Chuck could NEVER beat Jackson".

But essentially the same thing happened...

Is it ONLY Liddell/Jackson 1 that makes Liddell/Jackson 2 legit?

Or would it be legit anyway even if Liddell/Jackson 1 had never happened and the fact is GSP lost and his huggers can't get over it.

What's the story?

Say whatever you want but don't say there aren't similarities between liddell/jackson 2 and gps/serra.

You said it yourself.....Jackson/Lidell 1 is what cements the victory.

That being said, I hope we see a pt. 3

The difference is clear Jackson won both fights against Chuck but Serra will get owned in his second and third fight if needed against GSP.

No crystal ball just common sense and logic. If you think Serra is winning I will be happy to pull up this thread after they fight.

Nope, I was the one who told my friends "I know it's the year of the upset but the only way Matt Serra wins this fight is if he brings a gun into the octagon"

Then you know the rest....

I'm just pointing out the hypocracy of the situation.

And the reason I want to see a Liddell/Rampage 3.

Because the second fight was as much of a fluke ending as gsp/serra even if Jackson is 1000x better than Liddell, it still was a fluke ending caused by a single mistake.

The fans demanded a Couture/Liddell 3 because of the eye poke supposedly being the reason for a ko.

I demand a Jackson/Liddell 3 because that body punch was a stupid mistake. Liddell knows it, Hackleman knows it, even Jackson knows it. The body punch was just stupid.

I want the war we were cheated out of. I want Liddell/Jackson 3.

That glancing blow that hit the back of GSP's head was the beginning of the end. Barring a similar shot, He will not get out-struck by Serra again.

Rampage waited for a great counter punch.

I don't really see how they are similar.

Man i dont know what you have against jackson, but i see you in every jackson thread speaking negative about him in some way. You are the most ridiculoous chuck, hendo, wand, one of thems nut hugger i have ever seen. Get over the fact that Rampage is #1. He destroyed chuck in the first fight and KTFO him in the second. There is no such thing as "getting caught". That is a phrase nut huggers use to make the loss seem less of a loss. Rampage out struck him in both fights, showed superior defense and destroyed the overrated chuck liddell. End of thread. BTW, rampage has imporved imenssely, no matter what you haters say. Oh and the guy in your AV got his butt wooped aswell by RAMPAGE!

page/chuck 1 did happen...chuck got owned...his corner threw in the towel...deal with it.

chuck literally being put to sleep in the 2nd fight is what makes it legit. the 1st ass whooping merely proves the 2nd was no fluke.

gsp was not intelligently defending himself after serra caught him. he NEVER went to sleep.

the story is you're a chuck nuthugger...chuck lost...and you can't get over it either.

Awesome! Great post. you proved my point! Let me point out where you did it:

There is no such thing as "getting caught". That is a phrase nut huggers use to make the loss seem less of a loss

So you're admitting that GPS's loss to Serra was not a fluke, that he didn't "Get caught" because that would be just an excuse nuthuggers use.

BTW I won't take your last comment too seriously because I know your'e just trying to piss me off. Everyone with a brain knows that the Hendo/Jackson fight was a great fight and very close. No one "got their butt wooped" lol.
