Oh, oh? Thats gonna turn the UFC upside down for awhile! Lidell was a good point man for the UFC...So was Coutoure, I wonder how Rampage is gonna do? I suppose we'll find out!

It just doesn't matter how good an MMA fighter is, there is someone just around the corner that is better...if only for a night, but thats all it takes to knock off the top dog, one match, one win.

Thats twice that Jackson has beaten Lidell...I wonder if there will be a threepeat?

The wind blew us off of Mille Lacs yesterday and the casino

kayoed us in about the 1st round also, so here i sit pecking away at the computer, formulating some new plans for the rest of the holiday weekend.

I didnt get a chance to see the fight...but I, for whatever reason, knew Rampage was going to win. I have really enjoyed watching Chuck's previous fights in the UFC. I just thought if Rampage could get him on the ground it would be all over....I have never seen Chuck use his ground game...seems to be all about punches. either way, I wouldnt want to run into either guy!!!!!!!!
