Ouch.
Lights out for The Iceman.
I feel let down. Not much of a fight, and an unexpected floater of a punch.
Eh, it was going to be a one punch fight one way or another, we just didn’t have wait a long time for it.
Good thing the other fights were pretty good. I wouldn’t have wanted to pay $40 for that! Now that Liddell has gone Hollywood (Entourage), he’s gotten soft. 
Yeah…especially since in this day and age, you can get a TV quality rip off the internet within the hour. 
I was bummed. Chuck’s my favorite fighter, and I really think he’s a better fighter than Rampage overall. He just got caught right smack dab on the button with a lucky punch.
I kind of feel like the ref stopped it a few seconds too early, too. I understand the importance of protecting the fighter and there probably wasn’t much chance that Chuck could have recovered enough to defend himself. There was a small one, though, and it was a championship fight. Heck, the ref let Keith Jardine get hammered up and down to the mat for a good thirty seconds and didn’t stop it until he was out cold face down and ass-up with his mouthguard out!
Chuck was done, pardner. He was limp as a boned fish when the ref stopped it.
I didn’t see it, but I watched (two-week delayed) “Art of War 2” from Austin on HDNET on Friday night.
That was some entertainment. The one fight saw a former college wrestler beat on a guy for 4 minutes before tiring. Then, the guy just went to work on his face for the last minute of Rd 1. Wrestler was still groggy when Rd 2 started, and the fight was stopped after another minute.
There was also a great bout between a Swede and a US Army guy who was getting beat before the Swede made a mistake and wound up getting choked out.
The main event was a 6’ guy named Guillen who decisioned a 6’10" Wes Sims after a brutal second round and several near choke-holds by Sims.
I was thrilled. Quite a few people have been saying lucky punch. I can understand eyes closed with a wild haymaker but that was hardly the case. Jackson is the better striker and overall fighter. Watch their first fight in Pride and you can see. Liddell tried toe to toe then and lost. He tried it again this time and Jackson was waiting for it. Jackson even used the same looping right he used so effectively in their first encounter. I’d have to agree with Ogre, fight was over before Liddell hit the mat.
My buddy who called me up post-fight to rag me around said the same thing. 
I have to admit you’re right, but he seemed to have his senses back pretty quickly after the stoppage, although still a little crosseyed. It looked to me at the time that if he came around and tied Jackson up for a few seconds he might have had a small chance of recovery, but I fully admit I’m probably guilty of wishful thinking.
I don’t mean to take anything away from Jackson by saying it was a lucky punch, just that it was a golden bullseye you don’t see very often even from a skilled fighter. The Pride fight he just plain outfought Chuck, battered him down and finished him, and this fight one-punch popped him when he was drawing back with his hands down. I didn’t expect as good a showing from Rampage this time around because he hasn’t looked that good recently against fighters that aren’t as good as Chuck, like in his UFC debut against Marvin Eastman. He said it was just nerves, but he didn’t give Eastman the schooling you’d expect from a guy who’d beat the champ before.
