Silva vs. Lidell

[|3ossman]

definatly will go down as a classic, no doubt about it. unless somebody gets KO'ed in like 30 secs...which could very well happen with these two.

Definitely fight of the year. No question.

Chuck doesn't seem to like pressure and gets aggravated it seems. And that's pretty much "The Axe Murderers" game plan. LoL Full on, in your face, striking from all kinds of angles. I see this being a blood bath, with Chuck eventually getting KTFO. I hope it goes the distance though and we see an all out war regardless of who wins.

Belts are highly overrated... that being said... I do agree with you that Silva would most likely be better on the ground... although he only has 2 legitimate submission wins.

I think Silva is the better fighter, but I think it will be a good fight. I can only go on how well Chuck did against Rampage and how Silva did against Rampage. If thats an indicator.... Chuck is fucked.

problem is it isn't an indicator
if it wsa then Tito and Vitor would be as well
and Silva istwice as fucked ?
but I dont think it works that way

my bet is Chuck wins
both men prefer stand up game

the good thing about this fight is it will open the eyes of all of the TUF fans of other organizations. most of the fans now are very new and think that UFC is the end all of MMA. I think Chuck has a tough fight ahead of him and I don't know if he'll win. Silva will most definitely get the "accidental" fingers in the eye just like Randy, Tito and probably other tough fighters chuck goes against.

Liddell Coture 2 fine eyepoke no problem
Liddel Coture 3 no eye poke
Liddell Ortiz no eye poke
you can claim eye poke but if you can't back it up with a vid, it's just some hateraid baby

And a lot of successful wrestlers with no bjj ranking have demolished bjj guys via ground and pound ie Tito vs. Elvis Sinosic and Randy Couture vs. Vitor Belfort III. I think Chuck is a former Div I wrestler.

Matt Hughes vs Royce Gracie... sheesh That was an ass kicking

True. I can't believe I forgot the most obvious and recent example.

Ugh your gonna make me work for this ok. (btw the 2nd coture fight there was an eyepoke i dont know how the hell you missed it, they fing stopped the fight for a few secs bc of it.)

Anyway im sure i can dig you up so photos, a good 6 or more fighters have complained of this, and that includes some who have wins over him.

the lidell/rampage fight is NOT an indicator of how this fight will go.....two completely different fighters at different stages in their carreer. Everyone remembers what Tito did to wand.....what would happen if tito and silva fought now?...I'll tell ya, huntington beach gets to to sample the bottom of wand's foot. The one thing chuck has going for him is that the fight is in the octagon.....which is completely different from pride's stupid boxing ring. The octagon is a true MMA arena.....this is chuck's house right now. That being said.....chuck hasn't fought anyone like wand. It will be good...even if it's short. But chuck going ground?? I don't think so.....stand and bang!!

 

[ass_face]

Yeah, those look like eyepokes to me.
