Rashad beats ANY version of Chuck

It was 9 months people have gone without fighting longer. Liddell kicked his ass plain and simple. Liddell had gone the same amount of time before fighting Rashad is that his excuse for losing ?

 

Like I said. It wasn't the "Silva of old". I don't know if we will ever see him again. I hope so.

 

Funny, I was thinking the same thing...

Until he demolished a top 10 LHW in Keith Jardine.

 

What would you say if Wanderlei goes on to become Champion ? I have a feeling your just trying to make an excuse to why the great Pride 205er lost to the UFCs great 205er.

 

yep, I remembering hearing the same crap about Rampage when he came over....he was suppose to be finished after his loses to Wand and Shogun. News flash!!!! A guy can have a couple loses and still be the same fighter he was before and some times better.

 

No no your wrong Rampage is a shot fighter thats why he lost to Griffin didnt you already know that atsch Liddell just sucks and Henderson was shot to thats why Rampage beat them. Pride fans need there excuses like Rampage is a pyscho,Wanderlei hasnt been the same since 04 and just isnt as agressive or hasnt been fighting as much,Shoguns knee problem ETC

 

lol, Liddell's game has just been figured out IMO. Yea, shogun does have knee problems. And yes Nogueira isn't the same either. It is what it is. You sound like all UFC fighters are better then ex-Pride fighters... you're crazy. Many of Pride greats are just weathered. They were greats from 2000-2004 era. Thats long time ago bro. Same goes for Hughes, Liddell etc. Time takes it's toll physically and mentally at some point.

Before his loss to CC, Wand dominated a tough Pride veteran in Fujita. And I don't really count Silva's loss against Hendo. He was really sick prior to the fight and you could tell that he didn't look himself. If Wand would've came out more agressive in the Liddell fight, I think he would've won. And I'm not a Silva nuthugger either. I'm just stating my opinion.

 

Tim Sylvia? He's a pretty crisp puncher, if nothing else.

Watch his fight vs Gan McGee and see how successful his refined style was against a real sloppy striker.

Theres this tired BS cliche in mma that sloppy crappy striking is more effective because some wild swinging caveman ocassionally knocks out someone equally wild with a lopping right hand - well crappy technique is still crappy and will usually lose out 'vs' better technique ('duh') - the progenitor of these "weird angles" **** is actaully Chuck Liddell, and look at his losses, especially vs Jardine and Evans (more so even than RAmpage) :good

 

that's where you are wrong
more agressive vs Liddell = KO for Liddell
Liddell eats agressive guy
