wanderlei silva vs chuck lidell

[ohnobigtdawg]

What do you guys think here? any pride or ufc fans on these forums? This match is a dream match, very tough to call. Theyre fighting style is almost exact, stand up fighters with insane power in their punches. In my opinion i think silva maybe too much for iceman. Silva shows no mercy in his stand up game and iceman definetly will keep this one on their feet, so i see it as heart battle. who ever comes out with the most heart takes it, and i think silva has something to prove after that embarrasing loss to ortiz in ufc. If this was a pride match, then im positive that silva would win, but ufc has a different style of fight, thats why im iffy.

[Helghast]

it's lame cause it's in UFC side.
UFC is lame.

if this was Pride, then hands down its Silva's fight.

shit..have you seen the IceMan in the Pride..he got his ass kicked by Rampage..

was it rampage..I think it was.

[WERDdabuilder]

yes it was rampage.

and i think it will be a great fight.

silvia silvia silvia silvia

[exitspeed]

I'd really like to see Chuck get beat the fuck down!

I like UFC.

Pride's good too.

[jstyle180]

Big Wandy (Pride FC) fan here....you got to remember they're fighting under
UFC rules so, no kicking an opponent while on all fours and no head stomps.
That's going to suck for Silva ,but I still see him beating Lidell.

IF this fight happens , it will be the first time in about 7 years I order a UFC event on PPV.

[Edgar]

oh its going to happend

[omen2853]

dependent on chuck vs. bablu. hes good too. i think chuck kicked his head in last time...but bab's has some chance especially if it goes to the floor.

as for chick and vanderlei. wandy all the way. i dont see chuck taking it to the floor and knocking him out ground and pound. even with the cage and not being able to restart in the middle...basically, chuck is gonna get f(*&^d up. the only person i thikn who will have a chance at wandy these days is yoshida. he came close. not as good striking but handles him on the floor.

[jstyle180]

oh its going to happend

I really hope so.......but Silva has to get pass Mirko Cro-cop in the PRIDE Open Weight Tournament semis and the winner of Barnett vs. Nogueira in the finals without injury.

[chr0nik_sm0k3]

silva will rape chuck hands down

[WERDdabuilder]

exactly, they will be going with UFC rules so its kinda stacked against wandy. but it will def be a dope fight. hopefully not like the tito-sham last fight.

all hyped up and nothing to back it up.

[sw20>>s14]

wanderlei all the way...better striker (IMO), better on the ground, and good at submissions...hands down...dont get me wrong, lidells got a solid game, but compared to wanderlei? c'mon...wanderleis game plan really has improved over the years...especially demonstrated at his last fight against fugita...whereas i could imagine chucks skill remaining staggnant for the last years...

i can see crocop being a very challenging fight for him, but im still rootin for him...

[ohnobigtdawg]

''silva will rape chuck hands down''- i dunno about that man, chuck lidell is no amatuer, hes got the wins to prove it. dont get me wrong, im a wandi fan since the sakuraba pride fights( also one of my fav fighters) but i dont believe it will be one sided match.

[ohnobigtdawg]

also, you guys think it will go to the cards? or knock out?

[Helghast]

I don't wanna see a 3 round match.
Those are always boring.

Fuck him up in the first round, and get it over with.

It should be a knock out.

I really hope so.......but Silva has to get pass Mirko Cro-cop in the PRIDE Open Weight Tournament semis and the winner of Barnett vs. Nogueira in the finals without injury.

I was just going to say that. Mirko is still a pretty tuff dude.

Anyways if it's silva vs lidell, silva ftw. I just hope it's a good fight. UFC and even Pride fights tend to bore me (just my opinion). More into Muay Thai and K1.

Look forward to the fight.

chuck lost to rampage bad..... what happened both times rampage and silvia fought????? yeah he got knocked the fuck out twice.... chuck does have wins but im still sticking to chuck being prison raped

[Broaner]

How much is the PPV gonna be? $40 like usual? And what date? I haven't been following too much.

I'm rootin' for Lidell. Silvia is just a big ofe'ish piece of sh!t that can only fight because hes a monster. Take away his size and hes nothing but a fat can of lard.

[sushimonster]

wanderlei will beat the shit ouf of chuck
i think wanderlei got more skills but chuck got more experience

[ranger2339]

Ice-man Ftw!!!!

Rampage beating Chuck doesn't mean anything. If you go by that logic, Tito beat Silva and Chuck whipped Tito's ass so Chuck should beat Silva..........

Silva can get a bit wild at times and Chuck is a pretty accurate striker so it's not a shoe in for Silva by any means. Plus Silva hasn't fought in UFC in a long time amd still has to get use to UFC rules.

[chr0nik_sm0k3]

this is a completly different silva. he is way better than he was back in those days. plus tito got his ass handed to him becuz he tried to fight chucks fight and as u saw it didnt work

[ALTRNTV]

Silva.

So you think Chuck today is the same Chuck that fought rampage back in 03?

[sw20>>s14]

as stated before by many people, silva's skill has improved substantially over the years...and lidell is an accurate striker, but doesnt seem to have what it takes to beat silva...im predicting that lidells just gonna keep pressing silva with swings and occasional kicks and silvas gonna catch him with a counter punch, kick, knee, takedown, etc...with lidell, all you have to look for is his fists...with silva, it could be anything at any time...lidells game is just too one dimensional...versatility and adaptation is what wins fights...

general consensus in favor of: the axe murderer

[chr0nik_sm0k3]

So you think Chuck today is the same Chuck that fought rampage back in 03?


yes i do.. he still fights the same. doesnt seem any different. like the other guy said he is one dimensional

[dannyboi]

I like K-1 (including HEROS). Not really into UFC, but i dont mind watching it.

[BOROSUN]

striker vs striker very exciting. i hope is not anything like a 5sec KO. gwaad pls nooo.
they should fight to the death......DEEEEAAAAAAAATH.








DEATH.....!

btw anyone heard of lyoto machida? he has a good record against great fighters (one of them is rich franklin, one of my favorite fighters) but i havent seen any of his fights, yet.

[ALTRNTV]

I heard of him before I think, I was watching some commentary on the UFC and it mentioned Rich Franklin and Machida.

I haven't caught up to any UFC news since the Ortiz-Shamrock fight, but is this a championship bout? Or just a regular bout?

[ohnobigtdawg]

i believe this is for the title..

[ALTRNTV]

Oh, title fight eh? Bring on 5 rounds then!

[Broaner]

Who wants a decision? We need knockout after three or four rounds to finally call this over. Third time round on this matchup. We don't need another split decision to leave a doubt in anyones mind. Lidell... beast.

[allmotorking]

i love both ufc and pride...but i gotta go with the iceman

[Arsenal of Glory]

his name is Silva, not Silvia

[ALTRNTV]

When is this fight? All I see online is Liddel vs. Sobral on August 26th.

[jstyle180]

Some time in Nov.

[Fat Felix]

haha... I don't think the fight is going to happen because Chuck will fail at defending his title.

[zenki-217]

ufc is vegas owned ....lidel will win.

[sw20>>s14]

I really hope so.......but Silva has to get pass Mirko Cro-cop in the PRIDE Open Weight Tournament semis and the winner of Barnett vs. Nogueira in the finals without injury.
well, silva has one up on lidell because filipovic just announced today that he is withdrawing from the grand prix semi finals due to a dispute over money...

[jstyle180]

well, silva has one up on lidell because filipovic just announced today that he is withdrawing from the grand prix semi finals due to a dispute over money...

I saw that too.....we just have to wait and see.
I believe is just a rumor ....as of right now.

[jstyle180]

Mirko vs. Silva is back on!!!!
Mirko and Pride came to an agreement and the fight is on for Sept.10:wiggle:

sickness! thats gonna be a really good match...silvas gotta watch out for crocops left kick, but imo, his ground game is as sophisticated as silvas...two excellent strikers will make for a really good fight none the less...cant wait...

my prediction, nogueira vs silva...which sad to say, nogueira will most likely win...hes beaten crocop already and his only loses have been to the almighty undefeated fedor...im still rooting all the way for silva being the underdog...

[Edgar]

I dont know about you but I really cant wait.

[jstyle180]

Nogueira vs Silva would be great.
Cant wait.:rawk:
