MMA: Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva

[rutkus]

i'll bet a 5 pack of PAMs, Opus, or mag46's that chuck win's the liddell silva fight, anyone wanna take it? that is assuming he does make it over babalu, which i believe he will.

rutkus, I'll take that bet for a Fiver of PAM Exclusivos. What do ya think?

[Kenpokrazi]

It all depends. The two orginazations have very different rules and scoring structures. The Pride scoring system is FUBARed where a lot of times you might as well just flip a damn coin, however the UFC scoring hasnt been much better lately with the judges they are getting in. No kicking and stomping a downed opponent will hurt wanderli's game, don't get me wrong this is going to be a GREAT fight, but in a cage with rules that are different than his own yea not the best situation for the axe murder.

P.S. don't let it sound like I'm not givin him his props I want him to win, I personally think chuck is a little overrated. I mean he has great hands and his take down defence is great but he doesnt have the whole package that a Matt Hughes or even a Rich Franklin has.

[rutkus]

its going to be a slugfest, somone is going to be knocked out, they both swing for the fences, i think that silva will be a bit out of his element since he won't be able to use some of his ground and pound techniques as he does during PRIDE. even if he did, if Randy Couture could not keep him down i don't think silva can. even if he were to, i think lidell would get back up. i just hope its not one of those BS stopages like the ken tito fight, that will piss me off.

as far as the exclusivos...depends on what NCRM is wanting to bet?

i think the only way that the fight gets stopped is if there is a clean knockout i'm sure dana, lorenzo and frank will make sure big john knows that. it will have to be a very decisive and convincing victory.

Crazy how this fight is a bit away and that is what my friends & I talk about.

Don't know about everyone else, but I EASILY see UFC taking away huge percentage of PPV Boxing audience.

Back to the fight... I think Silva. As for the bet? How about 5 PAM Exclusivo rings? CUZ I SMOKE THEM TOO QUICK to even get them in a Priority box!

Wandy imo is much stronger then Couture and if he wanted to could probably keep chuck down, and he has good sweeps so he would probably be mounted pretty quick if he wanted to...but why? He is a much better boxer then Liddell, might as well just give the fans (not all of 'em) what they want and knock Chuck's head off. I'll give Chuck his props he's good, but he's proven he's not world class. I really want to see how he takes on someone that is a better striker then him, rather if he will make the same mistake he did against Rampage and try to stand with him. He has always said over and over again that he can wrestle so I wonder if we might see him shoot on Silva. If it goes GnP I agree I would hate to see it stoped early. Shamrock got robed, he took WAY more punishment in the first fight and people got beatup way more on the SAME night and they called it because he took some bone to the face, bs. Chuck and Wandy are big boys and can both take a beating, I say don't stop the fight, don't END the fight until someone can no longer stand. This is one of those fights to me that to much on the line to let a ref stop it before it's really over. Nothing better then seeing an underdog suck it up take a hammer to the face and just keep on pushing and fighting. Ask Ironhead

Don't even say that rutkus, I hate quick refs too! I'll take the mag46 bet. If I loose, you won't be dissapointed.

OK, cool rutkus.

Babalu is not someone that you can look past. Babalu has improved greatly since Chuck knocked him out. I'm sure Babalu is not happy that his KO is used in every UFC promo on TV.
Babalu trains w/ Gracie Barra now and is very well-rounded. I've rolled with him and his jiu jitsu is surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting him to be that skilled.

Babalu does have some great Jiu Jitsu and surprsing sweeps (if thats who you are talking about.) Hopfully Chuck dosn't look past Babalu because if he does he could very well get his arm broke.

[smokinpoke]

sobral gets his cage rattled easily by chuck. however the most dangerous thing that chuck can do is what everyone else is saying, that is he can't look past babalu or he will choke chuck out. i think the way of the liddell v. silva fight is going to be reminiscent of the evan tanner rich franklin title fight. both of them are going to be hurting the next day just silva will be hurting more.
