I don't think it would be the smartest idea at the moment espeically since he just got KO'd. I'm not saying he shouldn't move up but I don't think he should do before getting his belt back.

I think he should stay at LHW. Hopefully, he'l get his belt back and retire a champ, which imo is what he deserves. Hes got nothing to prove going to up to heavyweight to fight randy again.

Yes he should move to HW. At this point watching him climb the ladder again in the LHW division would be boring.

i think if couture defeats gonzaga they could possibly set up chuck/randy 4 for the heavyweight belt.

I don't think he should move up, I don't get why people think chuck's so good, he's always fought lesser opponenets, had he fought in Pride against Shogun, wanderlei, ect. he would be a 'good' fighter. So if he moves up he's going to have to fight strikers like mirko, and ground and pounders like fedor.

Like i mentioned in a previous thread i think liddell's only got around 4 fights left in him and if randy gets past GG then theres a very good chance liddell will move up to HW to fight him. after all he's been saying he wanted to move up to HW for about 3 years now.

Who is gonna hit Chuck harder than a Lightheavyweight.................... maybe a heavyweight. IE Cro Cop.
You do realize Chuck Liddell only walks around at 210. He is a samll LHW. If he was gonan mmove back to 185 would be his best move.

chuck going down the 185, is an interesting idea. at least he would get rid of his beer gut.

I know I should'nt judge a fighter on his appearance but damn his potbelly has been bothering me for a long time now...

Honestly, how'd you get in my camp? Your gonna tell me...that Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, Vitor Belfort, Jeremy Horn, Guy Mezger, Kevin Randleman, Jeff Monson, and Murilo Bustamante are LESSER OPPONENTS?! You must be cracked out of your mind. So your saying, being one of the most dominant fighters in the history of the UFC, makes him a bad fighter because he didn't fight in PRIDE? Chuck Liddell will probably fight CroCop if he moves to heavyweight relatively soon, just because they both have to come back off devastating KO losses. Chuck vs Fedor? HELL NO. Randy Couture vs Fedor? That would end the world. I apologize for ranting like that, but I think that is the biggest pile of garbage I've read, probably ever.
