that knock out changed chuck forever

[@ChefIsaac925]

Also Rashads career, folded chuck something vicious

[@AliPointVTV]

I think it was the rampage ko 🤷‍♂️ but yeah the chin can only take so much

[@sippinlosses]

​@Chef Isaac caught Chuck coming in too, typically that was Chuck knocked people out on the Blackfoot and he caught his own medicine. Same when he hurt Rich and went in for the kill just to get knocked out

[@dayra6425]

Naw he was done before that .. but that knock out sealed the deal

[@ThatMidWestDude513]

chuck was done already, he was almost 40 when Rashad knocked him out, he's 53 now, a young Chuck would of ate those shots from Rashad and Rich, I was 12 and a huge Fan of Rich at the time when he knocked him out, we're from the same city, I can look back now and confidently say, they wasn't fighting the Chuck Liddell that made Tito Tap, he was well out of his prime by the time Rashad fought him

The crazy thing is that Rashad ko'd Chuck and ate his soul. Chuck was never the same after that he just kept getting ko'd bad.

[@TheGr8one1022]

Nah Chuck had already been declining. He had already been viciously KOed for the second time by Rampage, embarrassed by Jardine, and looked sluggish and broken against Wanderlei. It's never one KO that changes somebody, it's really the years of hardcore training that degrades them. The actual fight is the easy part physically, it's the insane training they do that is the hard part.

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

Only a casual wouldn't realize that Chuck was already on the decline. Rashad could never hold a candle to any of the top guys who just caught everybody at the right time. Including rampage. He had a new age Anderson Silva like copying of his style but with much less skill

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

​@@TheGr8one1022 exactly these kids have no idea what the hell they're talking about

[@clgmafnas]

It was only a matter of time. Chuck has always been willing to "take one to give one." No matter how tough your chin is/was, get hit there often enough, and it will eventually go. In his prime, Chuck had an IRON chin and fists of STEEL. True banger 👊🏼

​@@robertwatson9397 yeah he may have even defended his title if he fought at middleweight... Then Again that wouldve been the time of Anderson Silva was champ and idk if RE couldve landed that shot to put hom out

[@julianbarnes1440]

@@cosmic_JAV people forget about his grappling ability as well. Big Frame for MW and good wrestling definitely could have given Anderson issues. We seen c. Sonnen hold him down for 4 straight rounds and hes smaller then rashod .Maybe a prime rashod could have employed a similar game plan . Still hard to see him beating that version of Anderson but would been an awesome matchup.

[@TheGr8one1022]

​@@cosmic_JAVRashad would have been a nightmare matchup for Anderson. He has proficient striking to not get KOed and much better wrestling than Chael or any other middleweight. The LHW division was way better than middleweight

“Separated from consciousness” damn never heard it put that way before

[@411Outdoors]

Such interesting history! Anyone who wasn’t scared to stand face to face with Chuck at that time wasn’t normal. This is a case of humility leading to exaltation. Rashad is legit

[@mannygarcia4070]

I'll never forget this KO. They both threw hooks at the same time, but Rashad was younger, faster and landed first. A prime Chuck would have landed that shot before Rashad. That KO absolutely changed the guard of MMA at the time. Chuck was the last of the OG champions. Rashad represented the new era before Jon Jones took over.

[@unkwn6741]

"Separated from consciousness" is a banger.

[@reecequick7550]

[@ronniedeel4990]

[@troym33]

Anyone that’s willing to get into that cage or ring has some serious balls. I don’t care what lever you’re at. I had one pro boxing match and I was so nervous I couldn’t feel my legs.

What a cool guy.

[@bryanmcneil9872]

I honestly think it’s the scariest one punch knockout in MMA history.. The way Chuck goes limp and the impact of the shot.. yeesh..

[@juanrivera1624]

He may have been scared of the Iceman, but he won on a devstating knockout. Nerves of steel are hard to break.

[@hitmanlowe3562]

So this proves that some fighter are scared of some opponents

[@johnathangentry5448]

Jon jones said he had nightmares for weeks leading up to his fight with rampage. Being afraid of your opponent is better than overlooking them. Gsp said the only time he slept well before a fight was when Matt serra knocked him out.

Met you at Ft. Benning around that time. Took a pic with you. Thanks for visiting us troops. Me and my wife watched the fight at Hooters. Everyone was shocked when you KO’d Chuck.

[@matthewgreen7039]

I would like to know who coached and trained Rashad when he stepped up to the next level in his career. He was never seen as a fighter with the calibur to beat Liddell, Rampage, etc. And something took him from middle seed fighter, with normal grappling skills, to next level well rounded fighter, with stand up knockout power and techniques. Any ideas??

[@OhMeOhMyntzich]

That KO took most of Chuck's chin away for the remainder of his fighting career! It was a brutal KO and Chuck didn't move for atleast 80/90 seconds! The arena went silent, it was like witnessing a murder. All you could hear was Rashad's gf(wife?) screaming! Even Rashad was uncomfortable for a few moments!!

[@smokeykick]

😂👍 That’s a Great story sir!

[@JGD185]

Rashad was nervous for a reason. New fans don't realize what a savage Chuck was in his prime. This KO definitely changed Chuck and signaled his downfall

[@chrisleach4245]

It easy to forget that they are people with the same fears as you and me.

[@jeffreyrollins7797]

Rashad beating chuck was a huge shock. Rashad losing to lyota was rage fuel. Dude could've atleast won by decision against lyota but nah he decided to just let lyota punch him into a knock out.

[@HPloveCraftsCat1352]

Lytton at that point was a menace in the LHW division, the way he bodied Thiago Silva before he fought Rashad was a sight to behold. It's not until Shogun figured out how to beat Lyoto's style he started to look beatable.

[@kaminznanna]

Prime Chuck was a scary guy, you’d be a fool not to be scared
