Chuck is the better striker. Chuck hits harder. When Shogun gets outstruck he goes for a takedown. Shogun's takedowns are rubbish. Chuck's takedown defence is great. The fight will remain standing, leading to Shogun getting KO'd.
I believe the same plus Shoguns stamina is garbage atleast when he isnt on roids it is. Chuck should KO him or decision in the same manner he did Wandy.
Now you know what you have to do... bet the house on Liddell or a minium of + $10 000 since it's a certainty. :thumbsup
If Chuck fights halfway decent, and Shogun looks like he did last time, Chuck will knock him out. With the rules as they are, not a good match for Shogun. But, never know! Chuck's leg kick defense looked like GARBAGE against Jardine. Shogun has a way better leg attack than him, and if he can sustain an attack, he could just **** Chuck!
Chuck has always been a horrible style match up for Wandy and Shogun. My early prediction is Chuck, because unless Shogun can get him to the ground and keep him there, standing with Chuck will be ill advised.
So Chuck has one good fight after two bad ones and is the man again, while Shogun is a write off after one bad fight? Am I following this logic right?
Don't write off Shogun. He's a beast. His injuries might have set him back a little and we'll have to see how he recovers from that.
What if Shogun just had a bad night, and next time he fights he looks like the Pride Version? Who's to say Griffin wouldn't make Chuck look just as bad as he did Shogun? Look how average Jardine made Chuck look. I'm predicting Shogun to come out real determined and give Chuck a bad night.
A decision win over a shot Wanderlei who was koed in his last two fights and everybody is back on Chuck`s nuts.
