are you kiding me he is a division 1 wresiler he just likes to throw cause it makes for a more exiting fight and when he goes to the ground how long does he stay there? about two seconds. let me think hum the last time he went to the ground and was controlled was his 3rd mma figh ever against horn. learn a fighters background before you talk

I dont want to see that fight and Chuck getting beaten again, if they want to make a super fight with the Spider get Randy down to 205 and let them two battle it out!
I think that would be a great fight and not a cat and mouse affair with the Ice Man being the mouse…

any thoughts??

W/ all due respect to Chuck, I think he will get mauled in this fight. Yes, he is a great fighter but I think his last few fights have clearly shown his weaknesses and Anderson won’t play the Cote bullsh*t game and screw around. Anderson is extremely skilled & dangerous in all aspects, and Chuck seems to have problems w/ guys who use Muay Thai/leg kicks like Jardine and definitely Silva. Rashad was more speed than anything else, which Anderson has as well.

Anderson Silva should be used to fight the toughest, most exciting fights he can have, not one w/ Chuck just to get large numbers & please the UK fans b/c Chuck got hurt and had to pull out of the last UK card. Silva should fighting people like Machida, who is pretty much equal to him in skills & style, or even Forrest who would bring a standing and ground game, or Rashad depending on the outcome w/ Forrest. Or let Silva fight GSP after the Penn fight, b/c win or lose for GSP, that would also be a great stylistic matchup. And right now, Bisping is knocking on the MW door and even Maia. Let Anderson fight guys who will test his mettle; & it’s not that Chuck couldn’t knock him out, it’s the liklihood of it happening due to his recent showings or lack thereof and Anderson’s true all around game outclassing Chucks’s, mostly due to Chuck having forgone using his ground and kickboxing skills for quite some time now. He shouldn’t start testing them out on again on someone like Silva.

If this fight happens it was nice to know you chuck. I think we should all chip in for chuck’s funeral.

So is it safe to say goodbye Chuck?

This could prove to really mess things up with the matchmaking. Let’s say Silva win this match and Rashad pulls out the miracle against Forest. There aren’t really any other middleweights that can claim they have the credentials to fight Silva. Silva’s next fight would have to be at LHW again for fear of having another awful fight that fans don’t want to see. So in that case it could potentially put Silva right at the top of the LHW food chain against-hypothetically-Rashad because there really wouldn’t be any other LHW’s that could say they deserve a shot at the title, unless Dana wants another promotional moment and sticks Couture in there. This fight could generally mess everything up, especially the career of Chuck Liddell.

if you have a size disadvantage and want to win against Lesnar, you need both speed (to get in and hit first) and power so that those first few shots you land do the damage needed.

“Liddel cant beat the homeboys.” I’ll have to check the record book on this one, but I’m not sure if I really care.

Anderson Silva versus Dana White’s New Golden Boy BROCK “THE CocK” Lesnar.

I would love to see Brock get handled by a MW/LHW. Proves that size dont matter that much when it comes to fighting if you have the skills.

LOL, didnt see that Jazacked…

Liddel cant beat the homeboys.

Funk it – I bet you could line up GSP then Forrest Griffin, then Lesnar and the Spider would crush all of them in one night! Thats how good this guy is! The fight w/ Patrick A Silva was just trying to make it last for the fans – you could tell that he was controlling it throughout before the injury P.Cote incurred.

@ JAZACKED

Chuck beat Vernon White, Kevin Randleman, and Alistair Overeem

Liddell can’t beat black guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chuck Liddell does, in no way shape or form, not deserve this fight. He has proven noting as of late he needs to fight a scrub or two surely Dana has a tomato can or two.

LOL Matte are you serious? unless the other two fights are like 92, i.e. Rampage vs Axe Murderer, Griffin vs Evans i would not pay a puddle of piss for this fight I really don’t find this interesting at all, Imagine Silvas pin point accuracy and his timing for Chuck to lower the left again and its over! or he could always just take it to the ground and its over! just dosen’t look good for Chuck no matter how you slice it. No interest at all! i would how ever catch the free stream online!! COME ON CP wut were the buys this weekend im really quit interested in seeing the #s

There wouldn’t be a big size differential. From what I understand, Anderson Silva walks around between 215-220. The dude is able to adapt his diet to hang out around the 195-200 mark and then cuts water weight and whatever else to make 185. He’s a big middleweight. Size would not be much of a factor like say in Couture-Lesnar.

Why would they book this in England and give it away for free?

People would pay for this kind of main event attraction.

I think that this fight makes for a very interesting match up, although, win or lose, this could very well be the last time we see Chuck in the octagon. Chuck is coming off of a big knock out loss but you have to give the man respect where respect is due with what he has accomplished. I’m hoping for Chuck to do the impossible and knock Anderson Silva out cold.

In regards to the Fedor war, I agree with mayhem420…Fedor hasn’t fought any legitimate names in years, and he’s over rated. Fedor just got OWNED in a sambo match by someone you have most likely never even heard of this past weekend. If he can destroy Arlovski, then you might have a little bit to talk about, but I doubt that will happen.

“Don’t be scared homie!”

anderson silva is by far the most dangerous mma fighter on the planet, but i fear the fight with chuck will NOT be the exciting fight that we saw 2 times with rich franklin.
thiago silva however would be a very exciting fight, expecially once he deals with machida.
if not him then maybe rampage.
anyhow, unless he is willing to take a run at the belt at 205, there will not be much left in the way of talent for him to fight an exciting fight for fans.

Girls, girls, quit all the bickering. The truth of the matter is, that Chuck has always, and will always be Danas boy. Dany is going to make sure he gets paid. Even if he has to fight from a wheel chair. If Tito would have sucked Danas dick a little better instead of outing him in public, he could still be in that number 1 spot. I’m sure you’re all aware by now that if you say something bad about Dana or the UFC, you’re put on the blacklist. When’s the last time you’ve heard anything about Roger Huerta??? Because after his fight with Ken Flo, he was talking about money matters with the UFC in public.
I’ve always liked Chuck, but he doesn’t deserve this fight, nor can he win it, but he is getting “the hook up” from his boy.
Silva and GSP would be the sickest fight possible.

wow can’t believe people think liddells not worthy of silva!? really!? a year ago he was the ufc goldenboy, just cause he lost a couple don’t mean shit he’s still a good fighter. i’d like to see this fight who the fuck else is their in the ufc? theres no MW contender and wandy page are the only other lhw contenders.

@Horselton McDouchery:
Wow did I hit a raw nerve?
I never said he (Fedor) wasnt skilled just pointed out that he has not fought anyone other than Timmay who was ranked in the past 4 or 5 years. I also did list his last what 7 fights…. How did I NOT bring up his career? I actually pointed that out to you.
Its not like I even brough the guy up you did… in an artical that had NOTHING to do with Fedor in the first place. Just relax and dont be afraid of the truth homie.
No need to get all cranky and bent outta shape. Take a deep breath and go take a shit or eat some fiber that might help work some thing out.

and the reason he doesn’t want to verse against Machida isn’t because he’s scared of him, it’s cause they’re buddies. If Machida said something about his momma Silva would certainly end his hype in a heartbeat.

“And you left out all of his career that supports my statement, very convenient. Your high, and your an idiot. Why don’t you quit nut hugging hippies and weed, get off your moms computer and go blow your boyfreind in her basement where you live at 34 yrs old. Thank you.” ……….that sounds angry to me

…. anyway, you should really try to make a point other than calling other people names. Fedor is a powerhouse but MMA tends to be a What have you done lately type of business and until his managers allow him to fight the best he can’t prove he is the best.

Chuck Liddell seriously doesn’t deserve a match with Silva, due to his horrible performances in the past year, and the very real possibility that he’ll be viciously handled by Silva. There’s no point in Silva fighting at 205 anyway, he won’t fight for the belt cause he doesn’t want to get matched against Machida, which is certainly a possibility if he should choose to eradicate Rashad Evans or Forrest Griffin.

I’m not angry, I’m right.

WOW there horselton sound a lil angry there, But i gotta agree with Mayhem who has Fedor fought that was actually a even GOOD fighter? in the last 3.4.5.years no one! hes about to get a decent challenge against Pitbull, Even Pitbull hasn’t fought anyone impressive lately(So i just hope hes still prepared to fight at an elite level), It’s too bad politics (both Dana’s and Fedors) are keeping him from being really tested but you gotta realize he hasnt fought anyone in a long time and the more he stays stagnant over there the more its gonna cost him on the respect-o-meter. And just to let you know the best P4P in the world is GSP not Silva(as Gsp will show next year) and definitely not a guy who has fought nothing but cans for the last 4 years everyone says Kimbo’s opponents were cans well its very similar to Fedor’s last fights as well!

why put chuck in front at 205 he’s sucked lately, I’d rather see a rematch with henderson then a fight with chuck

Obviously cant put Anderson in with any LHW that is a “contender” (ie. Rashad, Rampage, whoever etc.). Wouldnt look good for one of them to lose to Silva and then have them challenge Forrest (or whoever) for the LHW belt. Bottom line, Silva is the best there is at MW and LHW, even if he’s not the top P4P. Liddell is a dead man!!

the fact is that people punch through the holes in chuck’s game on a regular basis, having the most accurate striker go against him is pure fail. chuck’s gut is going to rapidly inflate so fast he’ll explode

@mayhem420- its not his nuts its his skills you faggot. Cut the nut hugging shit out you tards, you always use this anytime you disagree with someone. And you left out all of his career that supports my statement, very convenient. Your high, and your an idiot. Why don’t you quit nut hugging hippies and weed, get off your moms computer and go blow your boyfreind in her basement where you live at 34 yrs old. Thank you.

id love to see a rashad-silva fight….that would be interesting

=/ are you kidding me? Chuck does not deserve a fight against Anderson(at this point in his career. Why waste one of Anderson’s last fights?

Chuck liddell’s 2007-2008 record 1-3
win – Wanderlei Silva (not an impresive win)
loss – Rashad Evans (via lightning fast punch)
– Keith Jardine (Decision)
-Quinton Jackson (TKO)
Anderson Silva’s 2007-2008 record 6-0
win – Patrick Cote (injury)
– James Irvin (Via eye crush)
– Dan Henderson (RNC)
– Rich Frankilin (via eye punch)
– Nate Marquardt (Tko)
– Travis Lutter (via triangle w/ elbows)

Chuck will knock him out I know it. trust me

yeah….lose to rashad and the dean and tune up against anderson silva….death

@Horselton McDouchery:
yes most of Fedor’s victims out weight him but other than Timmay none of his last fights were even ranked guys… he SHOULD have beat them easy.
Take a look at his past fights. The last time before Timmay he faced a legit HW fighter was some time ago….
Besides what does Fedor have to do with Silva vs Chuck? You Fedor fans just cant get off his nuts already.

Tim Sylvia
Hong Man Choi
Matt Lindland (natural MW and past his prime)
Mark Hunt
Mark Coleman (way past his prime)
Wagner da Conceicao Martins
Mirko Filipovic (this was when he was still a good fighter)

This does not need to happen. It is suicide for Chucky with how hes been fighting lately, and it doesn’t prove shit for Anderson. Anderson should have to fight for the belt, PERIOD, no matter if hes moving up in weight or not. Isn’t he supposedly the best pound for pound out there? Then why the fuck shouldn’t he fight for the belt regardless of a few pounds? Well, just further proof FEDOR is and always will be the pound for pound greatest. He’s always fighting guys who considerably out weigh him and dominates them completely. Not to mention he would never make an as out of himself like Anderson did vs Cote or wear all those faggot-licous pink clothes.

I’m not sure why, but I’m just not the least bit excited about this fight.

I would rather see Anderson Silva fight against Wanderlei.

Or… it would be great to see Anderson Silva fight Tito Ortiz if they signed him again. I don’t think Tito has a chance, but his wrestling, size, and strength would make for an interesting match-up. It would be a huge PPV, and Dana could watch Tito get his face pounded in. Good for everyone!

Who else thinks Anderson might take this to the ground? He’s got skills there, and Chuck doesn’t. I’d hate to see him lose just trying to impress us fans with another vicious knockout, only to get KTFO himself…which is always a possibility with Liddell. I’m calling it Silva by submission late in the first. Hate to see Chuck end his career with a tap though.

Wow, another high-profile fight for Chuck? Excuse me while I make a wanking motion with my fist and a fart-sound with my mouth.

Order Chuck’s body bag now and get it out of the way.

This would be 3 rounds of 2 counter punchers circling around the cage waiting for the other to throw the first strike.
As much as this fight sounds good on paper, I just dont think its that exciting now.
The Wandy Chuck fight cant be used as a gage…
Wandy is an attacker while Chuck is a counter puncher. So that made a good fight.
Look at Chucks fights since then… all those guys baited Chuck into being agressive and moving forward. With his style it left him open.
This will only end bad for Chuck.

Awesome!! bout time we some comp for anderson.

i would love to see this fight happen

I am a huge Chucky fan but this is no bueno. Chuck for sure has the advantage in the pure knockout ability. Thats where it ends though. Anderson might not be as hard a puncher but he is a better puncher by far. And he is also so illusive, i can’t imagine Chuck even getting the chance to do any damage. Silva is the best fighter pound for pound for a reason and this isn’t a big enough test at 205. It hurts me to even say that. Put him in against forrest(hah!), rampage or rashad…..now thats a fight. Mark my words now CG…if this goes down. Silva by ref stoppage 2:20 into the second. I expect a shirt in late february. Email me for the shipping info :-p

I would actually hang this as Liddell having a punchers chance. We all know how well Irvine did with his punchers chance and while Liddell is far better Evans showed that his technique has flaws and Silva has never been troubled by strikers. Go Silva

@Chonde
I couldn’t agree more. But beating Anderson is a tall order especialy in brutal Liddell fashion, so if it does become reality lets just hope it is as exciting as the fight with wanderlei win or lose.

YES fuck yes. Go Liddell Knock him out in the first round

First, as a huge Liddell fan, I want to see him win. But more important, I want to see him get pumped up for a fight. And this is the fight that could do it for him. Look at the difference from when he fought Wanderlei Silva and his fight with Rashad. He never cared about fighting Rashad as much as Rashad cared about fighting him. Same when he fought Jardine. Then he came back against Wanderlei and you saw him come back like the hungry Liddell who beat Couture, Ortiz, Belfort, Babalu and other highly respected fighters. And that is the motivation that Chuck needs to capture a much needed victory over the most technical mixed martial artist in the world. Odds are against him, but I want to see that Liddell one more time before he retires.

If this fight happens we’re all going to have to chip in for Chuck’s gold watch.
