Jackson is skilled in BJJ, but he is a knock out puncher with devastating Muay Thai skillz. Lidell is mostly just a boxer with good ground defense. A guy like Coutere or Gonzaga would not fare as well in Pride without the chain link fence to use for mounting leverage. You will never see a tap out with Jackson and Lidell fighting, regardless of the venue. There is a big difference betwen Pride and UFC if the fighters are skilled grappling artists.

No argument here in regards to also placing blame on Gillick, however. I don’t blame Charlie for all of the Phillies’ woes, but I do for the horrible handling of Brett Myers.

People say there's a big difference b/w pride and UFC, but it doesn't look that way to me. You know ESPN is jumping on - it's inevitable unfortunately.

Stand Pat left that bullpen for dead. I can’t really put much blame on Cholly for Philly’s woes.

Ya, I saw the pride fight too, but the switch to the UFC isn't too drastic for either fighter. If anything, Lidell is even more disadvantaged versus Jackson in the Octagon because his Brazilian Jujitsu is not on par with Jackson's either. On a side note, I hope ESPN does not start broadcasting UFC events. Ultimately, money talks and will probably buy the rights eventually.

Lidell is definitely hollywood lately - entourage, punk'd, interview after interview, ESPN Mag, etc. I watched the first time he lost to him, but that was in PRIDE, which is a little different. Maybe Rampage just owns him. Ya, obviously Rampage is fighting Dan Henderson first, but I assume the two will eventually get back into the ring.

Coming from someone who went to college in San Luis Obispo, The Iceman is often viewed as a demigod. Can’t wait for the rematch." Rampage 2, Iceman 0 Jackson-Lidell chapter 3 won't happen for a few fights, as the promoters and both camps would be wise to save their third fight for another time. I'm glad Lidell lost. Between his cameo on Entourage and his unorthodox style that often leaves him exposed, I was waiting for this outcome. “I can’t believe Chuck Lidell got beat like a redheaded stepchild Saturday night.
