Pedro Rizzo? I don't think he didn't want to trade with Tank, he just fights that way with everybody. Very cautious and counter attacks. Very much like Liddell.

babalu may have had too many emotions going into the fight...he probably thought about the last fight and wanted to avenge is knock out by knocking out chuck...he tried to out strike chuck when babalu isn't even a striker he is a wrestler and jiu jitsu guy...who knows what happens for him now...but he wont ever be winning a title while chuck is champ

Its because Chuck hits HARD. Your gameplan changes when you step in the cage and realize things aren't exactly as you thought they would be.

Maybe It's time to figure out it's just not as easy to take people down as it was 10 years ago ?

How many more Liddell or Crocop fights do you need to watch to realize that ?

exactly very nicely put ,but it was sad to see him lose

I agree. Chuch has so much experience on the big stage - main events and babalu was just nervous and got caught. I felt bad for him as he seems like a cool guy.

I really wanted this fight to go the distance or at least go past the 1st round but oh well.

I think that the comments about being KO'd by Chuck got to him to the point of being so angry as to want to beat Chuck at his own game to redeem himself when the real factor should of been beating Chuck period by utlizing his advantages.

I know the feeling I say hats off to Chuck for the win, great job... but at the same time I want a rematch so that I can finally watch the match & say "Wow! two guys obviously at their best using all their skills! that guy really gave it his all" no matter who wins, I don't think either match had enough time to establish either fighter's skill.

It's not that they ditch their gameplan, it is that Chuck nullifies it. We saw Tito and Horn go for takedowns, only to be stuffed and punched.
