Rampage has a problem with the thai clinch, but he never had a good training team arround. (He was living in a trailer at times he was fighting in pride)
He's been training thai for a while now, and he probably learned the escapes of the clinch.
I highly doubt Andersen would take him, Rampage could slam him arround way too easily and he's much stronger. And as far as striking goes, Silva is the most technical of the two, but rampage has one of the biggest chin in MMA and he hits a lot harder. Who knows, in MMA, it can go both ways.
I really want to see a rematch between Wand / Shogun and Rampage, but only in a year or two when rampage will build up again... I don't think he's at 100 % of his potential right now. The guy is comming back from rough times.
Wand said is out for 07 so that's good... and Dana just signed Shogun to the UFC, but said he has a year in the work for the title shot (they need to build him up in the US to make a money fight).
The fight agaisn't Hendo will be a really good test for rampage that's for sure.

Chuck was out, (laid out flat for a few sec's) and ref made a good call, but damn, like I said not much of a fight...
I'd really like to see 'em go at it for a few rounds in a rematch

Watch the first pride match if you want to see Lidell get his ass handed to him by page. The big question arround this match was about Rampage's mental stability.
With all the solid contenders at 205 I doubt we'll see Chuck soon. Chuck is probably gonna have to fight Wanderlei before he fights Rampage, and if Wand recovers from his KOs, I don't give Lidell that much of a chance.

A very smart animal that is ;)
P.S. As far as the stopage went, I think BJM saved Chuck a night in the hospital for checkout... probably not much he could have done with rampage on top of him while half unconscious.
