Fact is this fight could go either way.. But we all know as of late if chuck stalks you, he's going to lose. A brief moment against Rampage(tko). Jardine (decision. Rashad (possibly ko of the year). Wandi a toe to toe war which he did win so I'll give him credit there. Even though I'd give Wandi an edge in a rematch for some reason. He was able to take everything Liddell had to throw and was able to drop him. But it was too little too late in their first bout. Yet a rematch I do want to see, if chuck can make his way back up the ladder.

Definetly a better striker? He's been badly outstruck in 3 out of his last 4 fights, doesnt know how to check leg kicks, was Ko'ed twice in those last 4 fights, and is horribly one dimensional in his striking. Give me a break

Shogun has a Babalu-like style, just (I would say) better on the feet. Shogun's real ability lies in his well-roundedness and ability to work grounded opponents with stomps, gnp, and subs.

Discuss suckas.
I'm with you. Chuck is very vlunerable to the right type of fighter, but Shogun isn't it. They both have sloppy standup but Chuck has more power and his TD defence would keep the fight standing. If Shogun beats Coleman, I wouldn't be surprised to see this fight.

I must've missed Jardine outstrike Chuck with kickboxing, Rashad and Rampage knock him flat out. Shogun is a much better striker then Chuck or any of those guys.

SHogun's bigger, has better kicks, better takedowns, a much better ground game, always got the better of wanderlei in practice while they were at chutebox.
