He lost to Keith Jardine for god's sake. Strikers really like who, a young Overeem who isn't even as close to as good as he is now. Like I said if Chuck Liddell in his prime had he faced the top 5 or 6 guys in the top of the UFC division now he would get absolutely destroyed. Shogun would kill him, Rashad would own him, Rampage would own him, Machida would own him and Jon Jones would own him. All 5 of those guys are high class fighters and don't just have a one punch KO power. Chuck Liddell is a horrible boxer the only thing that made it seem like he was a good one was because he had one punch that could knock you out. Remember only 3 years ago it seemed like Liddell was unbeatable but he gets KO 4 times in his last 6 fights along with the fact he lost to Keith Jardine. He's not a great fighter, overrated, okay fighter just fought in a period of wrestlers.
Think about it, why did Chuck leave Pride after losing to Rampage, because honestly Rampage was one of the weaker fighters in Pride.
Chuck was actually sent over to Pride by the UFC to enter into their tournament, because the UFC felt they had better fighters, and wanted to prove it. Pride accepted the challenge. In their first round, Chuck defeated Overeem. In the 2nd round, he lost to Rampage, as you know. He didn't leave Pride because he lost.. well, technically he did.. but that was the plan anyway, he was heading back to the UFC after he lost or won the tournament.
Though, there is some reason in your insanity in your post. Some stuff you are right about. At the time, the light heavyweight division wasn't as top notch as it is today. And he did beat a lot of lower tier fighters. Lower then today's standards, anyway.
