    Who will go down in history as the better fighter?? Even as great as Chuck was with his 2 victories over Randy, I think Randy might have the slight edge.

    I think Chuck. Chuck clearly lost his edge and then his sharpness, power etc seemed to go to ****. That shouldn't be held against him. He beat guys that are still top contenders now - Couture, Ortiz, Belfort, Sobral etc He just couldn't beat father time.

    Well Im definetly a bigger Chuck fan but the only reason I stated Randy is because him moving back and winning the HW title.

    Na its about even man. Alot of the best wins Chuck has hell Randy has the same ones like Kevin Randleman,Vitor Belfort,Tito Ortiz and Jeremy Horn. Obviously Chuck has wins over Randy and Randy has his own win over Chuck although Chuck is 2-1 he gets the nod there. Chucks got guys like Murilo Bustamante,Babalu 2x,Wanderlei Silva,Guy Mezger,Alistair Overeem and Jeff Monson on his resume that Randy does not but **** man Randys got Maurice Smith,Gabriel Gonzaga,Tim Sylvia and Pedro Rizzo twice. Both got incredible sick resumes I think alot of people like Chuck being 2-1 vs Randy and having a long dominant 4 defense title reign that Randy never had but people like Randy having been Champ of 2 weight classes as opposed to 1 and being able to keep his career going strong here in old age kinda like when people compare RJJ and Hopkins. Cant go wrong with either guy say what you will but they legends of the sport.

    Pretty even; Chuck dominated a weightclass like nobody before him, Randy was less dominant but did it at HW and LHW, plus there is the amazingness of Randy's story.

    I think their resumes are pretty even, the fact that Randy has a title in 2 divisions puts him over for me. Imagine what this dude could have done if he started training MMA in his 20's? Not that MMA was really around then.

    Chuck has been really shot last 12 months and it's really affecting he's legacy..... Based on that Randy and Chuck are 50/50 atm, if chuck keeps fighting Randys going to get the nod.

    So basically what i'm trying to say is Chucks better, especially 18 months ago.
