My first post and it will probably suck, but I just watched Rampage vs Liddell 1 again and had some thoughts about May 26.
If you look at Liddell when he lost to Couture and Jackson it seemed like he had a hard time adjusting to their aggressive styles and his footwork wasn't good enough to slide away from the grapple and counter with power shots, which forced the clinch and tired him out.
I think the biggest improvement in Chuck is his footwork (he always had the power) and this has led to his recent success.
I'm a big Rampage fan and hate to say it but I think Liddell gets this one by KO.
Hopefully Pride + UFC gives us the fights we all want to see.
Peace
People laugh when someone mentions that chuck improved because of his footwork, but they don't realize thats exactly what made him a notch better these days. Don't expect the the same Chuck as there first fight.
If not Rampage then who? Who will be the one to take the belt away if Rampage cant do it? Will Lidell have to move up to HW before he loses a fight?

Shogun is a bad dude. He has great athleticism and would be a tough fight for Chuck. Hopefully Pride/UFC can work that one out because I think the UFC is thin on guys with enough experience to beat Liddell right now.
