Hackleman and Chuck have basically the same voice. Only a slightly different tone.

[Submissions101]

Strange...I thought that as well. They do sound similar.

Good prediction on the Fedor fight. I saw your comment on Sherdog "overhand right."

[MAKER6450]

[KaratekaKid]

Too bad it wasn't recorded, it would have been god-like fight!
