Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Yeah hype and buzz wise, somewhere between 2003-2006 would’ve been the time it would’ve been the biggest. By 2007 it had lost a little bit of its lustre with them both losing their titles and coming off bad losses. But as far as fight quality went, you couldn’t have really asked for more. Sometimes I think it would’ve been better with a big KO or if it was 5 rounds but really I think it was perfect as it was. Especially in hindsight with Chuck’s rapid decline after. That was his last shining moment and there was something cool about them both emptying the tanks and both still standing at the end. Although the Wandy fan in me wishes he landed a knockout shot in the third. There was a time I really wanted to see the rematch but I think it being a one off makes it more special looking back. They’d have most likely never been able to recreate how great the first one was and Chuck’s chin was absolutely dead by 2008 after the Rashad KO, so a rematch probably would’ve just been a one minute slugfest with Wand sparking him just by having a bit more durability by that point. As much as I wanted Wand to get that win back, watching Chuck post-Rashad was just sad. So yeah I’ve waffled. I can talk about this fight forever. But them just having that one classic and the way it played out was perfect. Edited December 30, 2021 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 30, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted December 30, 2021 Of all the fighters ive seen fight in MMA, i think its Chuck's reputation that got hurt the most for me personally as he declined. I have to remind myself of how fearsome and scary a fighter Chuck was in his prime, and i witnessed most of it as it happened. Need to go fire up some Chuck highlights.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 2, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) New Year’s Day and Ariel Helwani murdered Dillon Danis on Twitter. Don’t know what triggered this but I like it. Been sick of Ariel for a while but I’m fully on board with this. Surprising though because Ariel’s usually got his nose well up McGregor’s arse. You wouldn’t think he’d publicly have a pop at McGregor’s little cheerleader like this. Edited January 2, 2022 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2022 Someone’s found an old article on the Lee Murray vs Tito Ortiz scrap in the wee hours after UFC 38 back in 2002. I’d read Pat Miletich’s account before and obviously heard Tito’s version of it but I’d never seen those quotes from Murray before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 4, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 Yeah, id keep an eye on that twitter. The guy running it got hold of a bunch of old Full Contact Fighter paper/magazines, he's gonna keep posting old articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
