Liddell vs. Rampage Poll results on ESPN

Almost 10k people have voted, and they give Liddell 82% over Rampage's 18% chance of winning this fight.

The biggest thing I get from this poll is that the Liddell advertising has really caught the attention of America. Not one state voted in Jackson's favor.

Thoughts?

Thoughts are that the casual fan or casual person who knows nothing about MMA or the UFC only knows the name Chuck Liddell.

It also shows me that if Rampage is to win it could be bad for MMA and the UFC.

Too wide of a margin. I am picking Liddell to win but Rampage winning would in no way be a total shock to me. I will have a UFC 71 pre-fight analysis up on mmafury.tv soon.

Eh, not really surprising. New or casual MMA fans have seen way more of Chuck than they have of Rampage. Should be a rude awakening come Saturday!

Chuck has been on the cover of ESPN the Magazine and was on Entourage within the last few weeks. Rampage has had one fight in the UFC. Not a real shock at the poll results.
