What you say is a guess, If there is one thing for sure about the fight game, you can never be sure who will win till the fight is over, especially when dealing with punching power like Lidell.
My reason is because CroCop fights more at Chucks pace, would be more opportunity for both fighters to show their skill and strategy.
Silva seem to rush out and throw everything he has right away and if he does not win immedietly, its usually not his fight. His rushing in strategy will be very dangerous against Chuck, he may win or lose very quickly. Id rather see a war.
Silva could bang with anyone at any weight.....proved it by standing toe to toe with CC, Hunt and Fujita, the last two big dudes....i think he shoulda got the decision VS Hunt who was 260+ when they fought. Since its open weight, he can come in around 230 easy. He doesnt rush in TOO quick, only when he has someone hurt, they he attacks until the other guy dies.
Anderson Silva will be a good fight for Franklin but im actually Dana pulls another rabbit out of his ass and signs Frank Shamrock back to the UFC. Hed be the MW champ.
I think since MMA is becoming more popular, we might see more cross org fights, seeing as this Wandy/Chuck fight will no doubt be a fucking phenominal success. Henderson VS Franklin....Shogun, Arona VS anyone (Tito). Fedor commiting homicide on Tim Sylvia would be nice also.
The options are many.

I agree that the ref stoppage was a bit early for most of the guys like me that dropped the $40 to watch it. However, by the rules it was justified. I have a feeling the powers that be already knew what the outcome would be, and instructed the ref to not let Shamrock get fucked up too badly. That way Shamrock could retire gracefully like Coutour did. Unfortunately Shamrock popping up immediately after the stoppage, and playing it up for the pissed off crowd, will probably lead to a Shamrock vs Ortiz 3 = ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....
Silva being brought in from Pride is the mark of a new era in MMA. I heard Dana White has a deal in the works w/ HBO-one of the conditions is that boxing cannot be talked about as if it's an outdated sport nobody wants to watch anymore(even if it's true). Obviously HBO knows this already, but wants to phase boxing out slowly and milk it for all it's $$$ worth over the next 5-10 yrs. There's also been talk of UFC and Pride trading off fighters to increase MMA popularity even more. It's just a matter of time before someone like Budweiser comes forward with big $$$ and the UFC fighters start getting paid decent $$$. It will still be awhile before their salaries rival most pro athlete's income, but $50K per UFC fight will be a lot better than the $5K-$10K most make now.
I also must say UFC's heavyweights suck ass compared to Pride's, but The UFC's middleweights are better than Pride's. Combine the organizations and PPV might actually be worth the $40. After dropping $40 on the last 3 PPV's in retrospect I wish I bought a few bottles of test instead.
Fedor is the man. The guy looks like he just rolled out of bed-even in the pre fight stare down. Next thing you know he pummels his opponent and his arm is raised in victory. Cro cop kicks ass too-both would make Arlovski or Sylvia look like boy scouts in a match.
Speaking of Arlovski/Sylvia-I've seen girl boxing matches that were more entertaining.

I think Arlovski wasnt mentally recovered from that KO, he should have taken a couple warm up fights ( or some Halo, lol ). He lacked his aggressiveness once Silvia landed a few shots. Speaking of heavyweights, Mir looked like shit. All fat and sloppy, unless he took the fight on a weeks notice he should be embarassed.

Mir looked disgusting. The only thing i could have thought of was he got his weight up to match the other dudes.. Other than that he sucks.
