    Trolling how?

    Randy OUTSTRUCK Chuck when Chuck was in his prime.

    Ok, he went 1-2 against him, but let's not twist the facts here.

    Also, when Chuck actually fought strikers that were still in there pomp, and not grapplers (see Babalu, Tito etc) he got absolutely handled.

    Yes he went 1-2 against Chuck so in the trilogy he lost.

    Page handled Liddell in his prime, no one disputes that. The other fights were clearly declined versions of Chuck.

    If you're gonna hold those losses against him I have to conclude you're trolling.

    No.

    YOU stated that Chuck DOMINATED EVERY GRAPPLER he faced in his prime. He faced Randy, and he got out-struck & lost. Chuck was very much in his prime when this happened.

    Clearly declined versions? Shogun had more mileage on him that chuck because of surgery. Chuck still had it when Rashad turned his lights out.

    Yeah he lost the first to Randy buy them smashed him twice in two rematches.

    I don't understand what your argument is tbh. Every grappler he came across suffered a dominant loss that's not really questionable.

    Page knocked the prime put of him especially with his poor training dedication from then on. That's not really questionable.

    Please say what your argument is in a nutshell and then we can proceed.

    My argument is that you said that Chuck dominated every grappler he ever fought in his prime.

    Yeah, he did, except for that one fight with Randy. So Randy actually did batter a "prime Chuck".

    And Chuck, if you knew your history, was MASSIVELY motivated for the Franklin fight. Yet he got laid out. So even when he was getting laid out it wasn't all down to being unmotivated.

    Randy smashed a prime Chuck, then got smashed twice in rematches so Chuck proves his superiority there no doubt.

    I've said this before, having abs doesn't mean you're massively motivated. How many hours was he putting in training against Franklin? Was she still training his wrestling, kickboxing and cardio? Plus he was very old by that point as well and for someone who relies on timing and speed age decline is more severe.
