Liddell is a beast. I'll be surprised if he loses.

And I bet the two of you guys were saying the exact same thing the first time they fought, huh?
Too inexperienced? The first time these guys fought was four years ago, since then Rampage has added 7 wins to his MMA record. Let me ask you, if he is too inexperienced to beat Lidell this time how can you possibly explain what happened the first time?

the first time they fought is history now. it was just a blip on the radar, and chuck is 5 times the fighter he was then. this one wont even be close.

Iceman should win this one, he's a beast. But anything is possible in MMA. Jackson got lucky once, he could get lucky again.

Come on guys! Lucky? Jackson dominated Liddell the first time around, there was no luck, the fight was stopped because Liddell was getting destroyed!
Honestly, how can you sit there and say that Liddell is a more experienced fighter when Jackson has had 9 more MMA fights than him?
Face it, the only reason why you guys are on Liddell's bandwagon is because the UFC has had more television time than PRIDE. Of course all the UFC followers are going to be pulling for Liddell because that's all they know, but check with anyone who supports the PRIDE fighters and I guarantee they'll say that Jackson has this one, hands down.
Until this year Jackson has stayed out of the UFC but that's not to say that he's avoided the world's best MMA fighters. Jackson will have Liddell from the start, maybe afterwards the Iceman will learn to keep his damn hands up.

lol, Danny I follow both, obviously follow UFC closer, and likely follow it closer then most on here. Chuck is simply a dominating striker, possibly the most dominating striker we have seen in a while. Is he beatable? Oh yeah, anyone is. But I don't see it happening on Saturday night. Jackson is going to come in and try to strike with Chuck and that will be the end. Chuck is so tough b/c you can't take him down (excellent take-down defense) and you can't strike with him. Jackson can get in there and throw with you, but I don't think anyone will consider him a more accomplished striker then Chuck. Jackson is a great wrestler, and is extremely strong. The problem is, as stated above, Chuck is very hard to take down, just ask tito.

I see thie going into round 2, and Chuck is going to catch Jackson and it will be lights out, no upset, no change in the title. The Iceman by KO 1:13 into the 2nd.

And Danny, for as confident as you are, only 1k??? Your not even going to come any stronger then that?

there Miller, I came strong........good enough?

not really, those are some weak bets

christ, put 3k on Liddell getting half on my money, what else am i supposed to do?

10 k sounded right for me

sigh, not all of us sleep in vcash every night miller

It'll be a good fight but Jackson will take it because of his style, Jackson attacks and Liddell is used to people fearing his jabs, so they fight cautiously. Not so with Jackson. My money is on him, although I think it will go the distance this time.

Alrighty Mr. Miller, I've matched your bet and added an extra dollar.
All I'm saying here is, other than yours, the arguments for Liddell being the victor have been weak. The whole "Jackson lacking experience" argument is a bunch of crap, a statement that only a novice fan could make. And the "Jackson got lucky" comments can only come from someone who only heard that these two fought before and didn't actually see it.
As far as what you are saying, I'm not saying you are wrong. Chuck Liddell is a fantastic striker and his takedown defence is awesome, but the fact is that Jackson won't be looking for a submission here. Hell, he hasn't submitted anyone since before these two first fought. This match is going to be fought standing up, and though most would give the advantage to Liddell here (and with good cause), I personally think the younger, faster, more aggressive Jackson will shine.
It is going to be a good match, that is undeniable. But, IMO, Jackson will take it with little trouble.

come on, theres a reason lidell is the undisputed champ, and hes going to stay that way. if you have real balls, why not put every penny you have on Q. if you are so sure hes going to win, you will come away with about 50 grand and show everyone just how right you were.

Real balls? Keep in mind 2 things when you make such an asinine comment.
1. We aren't talking about real money here, in all actuality, there is no benefit from having more Vbux than someone else because you can't do anything with them.
2. You have wagered NOTHING.

Let me say, for someone who is as opinionated as you are, I expected a much stronger argument from you. Let's face it, on most topics you have a very strong point of view that is difficult to dismiss, however, on this thread you've been awfully weak.

Once again, I'm not saying that Liddell is not a great fighter, however, you have to take into consideration that Jackson has not been in the UFC before this year, this will only be his second fight in the league. You throw out these ridiculous comments that I've completly destroyed, you've said things that prove you don't really know what you are talking about, and then you give a weak attempt at bating me into wagering all my money when you are not willing to put up anything. I must say, this is not traits of the Bomb we all know and love.

So how's about this...I have a little over 15000 Vbux and you have a couple hundred more than that, let's have ourselves a little personal bet, help recover from the humilation of your posts on this thread.

If Liddell wins, Sunday morning I will donate 15000 Vbuxs to you.
If Jackson wins, Sunday morning you donate 15000 Vbuxs to me.

What do you say? You got the balls?

sounds good, im game for it.

at 1:1 odds, i'll play. its not worth the risk at only getting 50% return. ive learned the hard way a few times on that one.
