I hope it wont happen. Liddell is washed up. Another KO/TKO loss waiting for him if he take thats fight.
Il give it to Chuck the guys loves to fight and has balls of iron but this is another vicious KO. Silva is a much better and polished striker than Chuck ever has been in his entire career.
Hes defeated alot of good or atleast dangerous strikers Lee Murray,Dan Henderson,Rich Franklin,Chris Leben,James Irvin,Patrick Cote,Jorge Rivera and Hayato Sakurai.
BTW this is the worst possible style matchup for Chuck. Anderson has proved in many fights he isnt going to come to Chuck so he can be counter puncher and if he doesnt come to Chuck then Chuck has a small chance unless he can land a big one in a exchange but most his power comes of counters and angles. I see alot of respect being showed early lots of jabs and inside leg kicks but Chuck probablly hasnt learned his lesson will charge in with a poorly thrown power punch and Anderson will lay him out with a left hand. I actually dreamnt this fight was happening shortly before the Rashad fight happened. It was a massacre Anderson dropped him 4 times in the 1st round although Chuck did drop him for a brief secound to. The last KD Chuck was laying limp with his eyes in the back of his head.
I would say a ko loss for lidell and in terms of the best striker silva has beaten standing its lee murray. Lee murray was a beat on his feet and anderson beat him to the punch most of the time.
Chuck needs to NOT take this fight he is slow and sloppy. I hoped he would hang it up after the last loss, and still do.
Kind of intriguiing to me; Chuck for the first time will realize he is outmatched standing we should see him try to use his wrestling and size offensively.
The problem is that Chuck had issues with Jardine's leg kicks which set him up to get punched and dropped a couple of times. i see the spider dissecting Chuck, knocking him out, using his footwork and feet to set things up.
I love how they keep trying to throw chuck a bone to get back to the top. I really don't see him beating the best thing smoking in the UFC. Hope this fight never happens!
How is pitting him against Silva throwing Chuck a bone? PLus I don't think Chuck will have the size advantage either aren't they both 6' 2"? I also think Silva has the reach advantage. Remember they say Silva walks around over 200lbs.
