We had a great time over at Ned's on Sat. night. Big thanks to Ned for hosting us and for the time he put into getting the food and everything. There were some very exciting fights and a number of upsets. I give fight of the night to Parisyan for his decision win over Burkman.
I predicted that Liddell would lose his belt this year and it came to pass as 2007 continues to be a year in which the sport is being shaken up by upsets, although the only reason I'm calling the Liddell v. Jackson an upset is because that's what popular opinion was. Most "true" MMA fans, however, knew that Rampage posed a threat to Chuck thanks to his natural abiliy, raw strength, experience, and the fact that he handled Chuck once before when Chuck went over to terrorize PRIDE a few years back.
Liddell will be back and I think he'll be more dangerous than ever, but he'll have to step into a lion's den with the likes of Shogun, Hendo, Rampage and up and coming fighters such as Rashad Evans. Ouch.
