With chucks arms spread out after the 2nd shot by Rampage.. It was a good stop. Otherwise he would've ate some more shots. Even if they they wouldn't of stopped it that moment, it would have been ground and pound all day for Rampage.

Chuck News...

After the fight, Pride star Dan Henderson entered the ring to challenge Jackson.

Liddell said after he planned to continue fighting, with UFC president Dana White saying Brazilian Wanderlei Silva would be his likely next opponent.

''I still love to fight. Nothing's changed. So yeah, I'll keep training and fighting. All stuff like this makes me want to do is get back in the gym and train more. I was in great shape for this fight and I was healthy. I made a mistake. I'll be back.''

The card drew a sellout of 14,728 and a live gate of US$4.3 million.

Confirmed Payouts...

Jackson earned $450,000 by winning, the Nevada State Athletic Commission announced. Liddell was paid $500,000, and would've gained another $500,000 had he won

Great fight! I personally am not a fan of Chuck Liddell for a number of reasons, but the main one being, he refuses to change his style. And his style is eventually going to get him dominated by PRIDE fighters. He goes into every fight with one thing in mind: Keep the fight on my feet, and if I go down, get back on my feet and start punching. It really makes me think he should just go and box. MMA fighters that have a multitude of styles will eventually overcome the fighters who look for the one punch. Great example: Parisyan vs Burkman fight. Burkman blows all his energy trying to connect, and gets dominated.

Fight recap: Chuck looked scared and Rampage looked in awesome condition. You could tell what Chuck's gameplan was easily, he wanted Quinton to take the first strike and then he was going to counterstrike like always. Rampage knew that from the get go, and eventually taunted Chuck to hit him. After about 50 seconds, the entangling ensued and wham! Chuck goes down. Loved it.

Future implications and fights:

Chuck should quit now. Liddell will NEVER be a force in UFC from now on. Dan Henderson is a beast. Shogun is a beast in submissions and overall aggressiveness. Although Shogun/Liddell would be a good matchup since Shogun takes big chances and is susceptible to big hits, he's still a jiu-jitsu master, and shows it. Wanderlei Silva is taking the rest of the year off to make a final hurricane of a 2008 fighting season. Liddell has said he wants to shut Silva up, but with Silva training for 7 months straight through the rest of the year, it's going to be interesting to see what kind of shape he comes out of it in.

Henderson, Silva, Rua, I believe, will dominate the top of an UFC light heavyweight division. Henderson especially. Rampage will have to train his ass off and show us all that he is a different fighter. He was dominated by Rua, and Silva showed Rampage his own Muay Thai clench that resulted in Rampage taking one of the most spectacular beatings I've ever seen, granted he still was standing, shows he can take a hit, about 20 of them.

The Light-Heavyweight division in UFC alone is in deep trouble as far as UFC fighters go. The PRIDE guys coming over are dominant. Some of them love to fight on their feet. And they may not have do so well, but some of them have some of the best ground attacks in MMA. I don't see someone like Bisping get past the top 4 or 5 fighters in the division.

On one final note, Fedor, please come to UFC and shut all the people up! I'm tired of hearing this Couture/Fedor comparison I've heard from some MMA people around the sport and blogs. I firmly believe Couture would be mincemeat in a Fedor match. But in all fairness, Couture is a beast. So it'd probably be a decent fight, but basically, this is my anxious post to see Fedor finally come over.

Onto UFC 72, not too excited about it, but oh well, is Rua going to fight in it?

I have to say ufc 72 doesn't interest me either....theres a few fights there that makes me think its a filler ppv...after UFC 71 how do you top that well you don't until a few ppv's time when Couture faces Gonzaga...I think he makes his debut soon but I didn't see it mentioned in the preview.

I find the Shogun fights to be amusing since he usually ends them with a headstomp to the face. But the fact that it isn't allowed in UFC and he can't shove a guy into a belt buckle and stomp his brains in, leads me to believe UFC may be tougher for him.

Yeah thats the major difference between the 2 companies...and why probably some Pride fights might struggle...

More complex Salaries...

The number for Quinton Jackson is half of what was previously reported by the LA Times (see: Report: Liddell Earned $500,000; Jackson $450,000 at UFC 71). I believe the number originally reported was incorrectly assumed to be comprised of a standard “to show” base salary plus a “to win” bonus, and was thus mistakenly doubled from $225,000 to $450,000. Instead of the “to win” bonus, main event fighters are usually compensated with a percentage of Pay Per View sales.

* Quinton Jackson ($225,000) def. Chuck Liddell ($500,000) by KO - Round 1, 1:53

* Karo Parisyan ($32,000) def. Josh Burkman ($7,000) by unanimous decision

* Terry Martin ($12,000) def. Ivan Salaverry ($17,500) by TKO - Round 1, 2:04

* Houston Alexander ($8,000) def. Keith Jardine ($7,000) by TKO - Round 1, 0:48

* Kalib Starnes ($10,000) def. Chris Leben ($10,000) by unanimous decision

* Thiago Silva ($16,000) def. James Irvin ($7,000) by TKO - Round 1, 1:06

* Alan Belcher ($14,000) def. Sean Salmon ($3,000) by guillotine choke - Round 1, 0:53

* Din Thomas ($28,000) def. Jeremy Stephens ($3,000) by armbar - Round 2, 2:24

* Wilson Gouveia ($16,000) def. Cermelo Marrero ($5,000) by guillotine choke - Round 1, 3:06

      Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm

      RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline.
