Remember back in the day, when if you traded with Chuck you were in trouble

    Chuck relied on great sharpness and power. Back in the day, if you traded with him either fist could put your lights out. He was smart with his kicks as he had a rule of thumb to set them up with punches. He never grappled enough given his wrestling background but he had the best takedown defence.

    Even now, Chuck looks the same but so have many fighters. Without his sharpness, his timing and range are ****ed. Not to mention his chin and power are not what they once were.

    Chuck is like Ali - a bad man and this is proven by the fact that the guys he beat could go on to fight in other eras. Father time just caught up with and not the guys he defeated. Much like an old Holmes and Foreman could hang, Vitor, Couture, Ortiz etc are still around.

    Chuck should have retired. If he loses to Ortiz then that will really take the biscuit. Maybe he needs to lose so he realises he should retire.

    Chuck vs Tito 3 is so pointless, if the **** is PPV I'm boycotting, and for the weeks leading up to that event, I will join Wentz and throw stones at the Zuffa zombies headquaters. Kill Zuffa, that's all.

    I think it's a travesty that they've been picked for coaches. I wouldn't mind if they weren't going to fight but TUF is just as much about a rivalry developing between the coaches which culminates in a fight i.e. Evans v Rampage and Henderson v Bisping were good rivalries creating seemingly close fights. Chuck vs Tito 3 is a ****ing joke.

    Chuck had the chin and the timing.
    He lost them.
    He is an average fighter now.
    Go look his fight with Rampage in Pride. What a great chin. He took so many bombs..

    Why is it a travesty? It's 2 guys who won't be holding up a belt for 6 months or a title shot. These guys have always had a rivalry, as long as it's not a main event I wouldn't mind seeing if Chuck can still beat up Tito.

    you guys live with too much anger it's only TUF there's no reason to get all mad.

    Though I still think its an easy fight for Chuck. Tito can't beat any version of Chuck in reasonable shape...Chuck is a better wrestler than he is, its a style nightmare.

    I also really want to see Coleman/Couture...I love these veteran fights :deal

    It's not my point. The fact is, some fighter have the number of some. Chuck was the better fighter in his prime. More higher in the LHW ranking in the history in my opinion.

    I'm looking forward to it personally, I mean, it's ****ing Chuck & Tito for Christ's sake.

    Same as RJJ vs Hopkins, it's something I'm ALWAYS going to want to watch.

    ****ing bunch of killjoys :D
