It's bound to happen sometime this year, the rematch between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell. Last time they fought under Pride rules on Jackson home ring, now it's time for him to step into the octagon under UFC rules, can Jackson go 2-0 against Liddell or will the Iceman silence his critics and beat Rampage. Who do you think will win?

I give Chuck the advantage in this one for one reason: Seriousness. Chuck is gonna be so serious because he knows what is on the line.Pretty much his reputation of being the best striker becomes null and void if he loses to Rampage in a striking war. He will train his ass off and be mentally ready for the fight whenever it happens.

You have to keep in mind that Rampage is not a pure striker like the Iceman. Rampage is a wrestler and is the king of slams, after throwing some punches he will eventually try and take liddell to the ground to finish the fight. I think some people will change their minds once they see Jackson in the octagon in his debut fight.

Chuck got beaten at his own game in the first fight, but I heard he was injured. Chucks guard has gotten worse and worse though. I can deffo see Chuck getting slammed then G+P'd. He has a good takedown defense, but I can see Rampage just getting through and picking him up.

Cmon, the last chuck - rampage fight was 3 years ago, obvoiusly Chuck is ALOT better fighter back then and Chuck doesnt Throw wild punches, He throws from all angles and hits the right spots and keeps knocking people out with them, dont think that is luck or random since his last 7 fights were 3 KO and 4 TKO. Rampage hasn't been fighting his best and Chuck has always dominated on revenges, such as randy couture and vernon tiger white, He is LHW champion for a reason and people seem to be underatting him when they are actually mad that a person who doesnt throw a straight jab or punch can actually hit someone and knock them out. Chuck fights the way he fights and look where it has taken him.

I didnt think Chuck looked very good in his last fight. I was expecting him to handle Tito a lot better and finish him fairly quickly. He looked like he was pretty tired in that fight. I think Rampage would take him if he comes prepared.
I dont know.....I thought chuck looked fine.....I think it was tito that pushed him more than he has been pushed in a couple of fights so naturally everyone will say he didint look good but we have to keep in mind Tito isnt a chump off the streets........now im not saying rampage is but I think chuck wiil be pushed hard in this match but IMO I think chuck will find a way to avenge the loss

You have to keep in mind that Chuck will have a different strategy with Rampage, he will actually be more cautious about getting knocked out. He wasn't really cautious against Tito because he didnt respect Titos boxing or anything and still beat Tito even when he was careless. Against Rampage, dont expect the same gameplan. Chuck knows what he is doing. :thumbsup:

You people are crazy to doubt Rampage. If he is focused he will shatter Chuck. I expect one of the two outcomes:

1. An unconcentrated/unfocused Rampage tries to push the pressure and a relaxed Chuck wins about two rounds in via tko/ko off a counter punch.

2. The same thing that happened before. Rampage comes in serious and beats Chuck in the stand up, then moves in for the kill on the ground.
