    Im with you on that one...

    Dana knows its exactly the fight to get Liddel back in the winners column against a decent fighter,which will lead to Lidell in another massive fight against the likes of Rampage..

    Chuck is going to add another highlight reel knockout to his collection. Hopefully he retires after that, though. The Chuck Liddell horse has been driven into the ground. Chuck's no longer relevant, as far as I'm concerned. Funny to see Chuck and Wandy both hit that point in their career where they should hang them up at about the same time.

    im calling it now chucks ko power is gone. he couldnt ko glass jaw jardien and he couldnt ko wand whos chin is also gone. shogun has a good chin so im saying that chuck definatly not going to ko him. also chucks chin is gone sorry the only way chuck wins is a decision. but im going with shogun by ko

    i too am going with shogun. his chin is gone and his power is no longer what it used to be. plus he is coming off a bad ko loss, is older, has been more inactive.............thats enough for me to pick shogun.

    Shogun by KO. Liddell is gone. The power has gone and his chin is very suspect. Shogun, while he clearly has problems with stamina, has a good chin good power etc. Hopefully he sorts out his conditioning.

    A fit Shogun, like the Pride version, is gonna finish Chuck, Liddel got away with being pretty one dimensional for a long time, but now he is older and slower and his punches just dont have the same snap or effect. However the Shogun that fought Coleman, may well lose.

    Shogun will gas out by round 2 and since he has a poor defense, he will end up getting caught and ko'd in rounds 2-3. If he tries to trade with Chuck, he will loose; he doesn't posses the type of ko power that Jackson and Evans have to ko Liddell.

    the fight's on april? if so, shogun has to do serious work on his conditioning and more importantly, his cardio.. i pick shogun by ko on either 2nd or the 3rd round..

    Liddells best days are certainly gone. BUT despite the PRIDE first round being 10 minutes long Shogun is only a 1 round fighter. His CV is useless and was the same in PRIDE. Shogun has more to his arsenal from a pure striking perspective but his just not suited to the ring or the UFC rules. Dont be surprised if Chuck stops him.
