The Case Against Chuck Liddell
Most MMA fans seem to think The Iceman is near invincable, I'm here to challenge that and say that he is not worth all non-stop hype First off, since his last loss (Rampage) he's rattled off seven straight wins but let's take a look at who he has fought. Vernon White (a fighter with 30 losses on his record), Jeremy Horn (a B level middle weight), Renato Babalu Sobral (a fighter who in the past 2 1/2 years has been fighting B level fighters), Tito Ortiz twice (a solid, but not elite fighter. See his performances against Patrick Cote and Forrest Griffen. Also, he's spent a lot of his recent fight time beating up on old man Shamrock, not the stiffest competition). I give Liddell credit for beating Couture, twice. But somethings a fighter just has another fighter's "number." And this is the case with Randy. And we've come to see that Couture is better off at heavyweight, a more nature weight for him. Another point to consider is Chuck's fight style. He's fairly one-dimensional and too many fighters have played right into his strenghts. Look at Babalu. He's a great submission guy, but what does the moron do in his fight with The Iceman? He goes straight at him looking to trade blows. Babalu is not a striker. What other outcome would one expect than for him to get KTFO?
