    I am very happy “Big” John will be officiating this bout between two of the games elites. This should insure NO EARLY STOPPAGES. “Rampage” annihilated Chuck in PRIDE and deserves his fair shot at the belt. I think Jackson will win by KO in the 1st or early 2nd round but with the “Iceman’s” stand up game you never can tell. I do think Chuck’s reign will soon come to an end, even though he has been the greatest light-heavyweight in the sports history.

  • Yep this is very good news. There should be no complaints from anyone after the fight is over.
