2-1 on Rampage is a good deal. Chuck hasn't fought anyone that can strike with him for a while and Page can do that. Rampage also has one of the best chins in the business and won't be easy to knock out by any stretch of the imagination. Wrestling is in Quinton's favor, but I don't think he can hold Chuck down on the ground and pound on him like he did in the first fight.
Both guys have great chins and like to throw. Chuck is the better striker but Rampage can take a better hit IMO. I see this one as anyone's match, ending in a TKO, so I took the 2-1 dog.

I think Chuck wins it Rnd 1 via TKO via GnP. If I get QJ at 2.5 to 1, I'm gonna place a bet on him. I saw him earlier at 3 to 1, but alas no funding at the site.
Here's my thinking.
Chuck has gotten a lot quicker in his standup.
QJ is too hesistant right now. Aggression will win this fight.
I had more, but I can't think of it right now.
In all honesty, I'm not interested in betting this fight.

I am going to say Chuck avenges the third of his 3 losses just as he did the other two (Horn and Couture). This is 3 years later...that was part of a Pride tourney in Japan. Chuck will be in Vegas, in the Octagon, in the UFC. Rampage said he was nervous going into the cage/UFC in his Eastman fight. Chuck seems to be healthy and in shape. I think he will avoid the take downs/ slams that Rampage loves to try and will just do what he does best and punch hard as hell and sprawl/avoid takedowns. Rampage is a big part of the future in the LHW class but I think Chuck reigns for a little while longer. 2nd round TKO by....The UFC... Light Heavy Weight... Champion of the World...."THE IIIIICCCCCCEEEEE MAN!" Chuck Liddell.
I just watched a replay of their first fight and it wasn't even close. I don't bet on UFC but if I did I would hammer Jackson at 2 to 1 odds. He beat Liddell bad in the last fight. I have watched Liddell lately and he doesn't look like the same fighter that was destroyed in that fight, but at 2 to 1 I 'll take Jackson.
Yea Chuck looked bad in that fight. He has won 7 fights in a row in the UFC. Not many fighter win that many in a row on that level in MMA. Rampage looked bad against Eastman. Its a pick'em fight and I wouldnt blame anyone for taking 2-1 odds on Rampage. But id feel pretty good taking Chuck to win this fight. Chuck is in his prime and someone will knock him off eventually, but not tonight. And Rampage has a good chin, but everyone is human, and anybody can get knocked out with 3 oz. gloves. Iceman wins in a 2nd round KO.. If it gets into the 3rd or 4th, then Iceman will be in trouble
Reasons:
1) Rampage kicked his ass last time
2) Chuck's win streak hasn't been against anyone who can punch back
3) Rampage can punch back
4) Rampage has an incredible chin and can take a shot
5) Chuck is getting older and older every fight
6) Rampage is still pretty young
7) Rampage has more stamina
8) Rampage is a nice sized dog
9) Chuck doesn't throw muay tai knees which Rampage can't handle
10) See above 9
