Silva vs. Lidell

[heavyweightchamp]

LMFAO!!! How does this guy even get fights in pride?? He's a joke!! You're 100% correct in your assessment of his striking skills. I think I would actually take a free punch from that guy.....his technique is so terrible he can't generate any power unless he's lunging his whole body forward.....at which point he usually gets it right to the face. Does anyone know how Mr. Debt Collector <snicker> came up through the ranks? Maybe I'm just not seeing his hidden talent?

LMAO. Dude I hear ya. I prolly wouldnt make such a stink about it if he didnt act so bad! His hands are down at his waist, when the opposing fighter presents an opening hes miles too late getting to it because hes too stiff from still trying to have a BBers physique,sloppy foot work, terrible grappler. But I bet he could out bench press anyone he fights bro! Ha hah ha as if that means dick.

Dont get behind on your bills!!!

If Silva takes the fight to the ground, he'll win, if he can get close enough without getting knuckled up. If he stands up with Lidell, he will get bitch slapped. I say Lidell regardless.

dude, liddell stood up with wanderlie before and got lit the fuck up, are you kidding me, i think bitch slapped is a bit rediculous. chuck is better now than he was when he fought silva the first time, but like i said before silva is in a different league.

Silva is nothing like randy, and if you like balls to the wall he is your man NOT chuck. Hes fought much better and much heavier competition than chuck. Do yourself a fav. and watch the liddell vs. rampage jackson fight, then watch silva vs jackson (either 1, or 2 with two being much more brutal). It will be a good fight but wanderlei is going to win this one. As far as KO power goes, wand is the first person (fedor couldnt even do it) to KO Ironhead fujita, and he weighed 35lbs less than fujita at the time. And being ko'd? hasnt happened in 8 years with fights against the likes of saku (3 times), MARK HUNT, CRO-COP, rampage (twice), arona, and fujita. Wand by KO in round 2.

You cannot compare fights like that.

Thats like comparing Wanderlei V Belfort, Belfort winning in under 1 minute my TKO then Chuck fighting Belfort and winning by decision. Or Wanderlei V Ortiz. Ortiz won by decision yet Chuck Ko Tito.

Going to be a intresting fight both are super strong and i do agree that Wanderlei is a more rounded fighter but this is a similar situation a few years back when Alistair Overeem was big favourite but ended up getting his ass Ko`d.

The Japanese promotions like Pride and K-1 like to promote giants for entertainment purposes. James Thompson, the debt collector, is just another big body. If you think his skills are minimal, you should see Giant Silva. He's 7'7" of unco-ordination.

Silva will kick his ass. Personally I don't think chuck will get pass Sobral. I know everyone thinks chuck is god in the octagon, but he is very much a one dimensional fighter. Yes he is good at what he does, but in my opinion he misrepresents the true essence of MMA. Now if u like barfighters or whatever then chuck's your man!

When did Silva fight Liddell? Was it a Brazilian Vale Tudo event?
