    Yeah , no way He's ducking Liddell...better yet , no way he's ducking ANYONE...Win or lose , that's something you can't take away from the guy...He's got balls and he's willing to fight anyone....

    whatever the reason...wanderlei isn't ducking Chuck.

    Maybe he doesn't want to risk losing to Chuck, when it's now Rampage and Henderson who will have the title. He might feel that his name alone and impact of his arrival to the UFC might carry him into an immediate fight with either one of those guys. Both are very marketable fights and much more appealing for him then Chuck. With Rampage, he pretty much knows he can destroy him and feels especially after Rampage just destroyed Chuck....he can kill two birds with one stone by beating Rampage in front of Liddels own crowd. And with Hendo....well he's gotta want revenge on him.

    I wouldnt be shocked if he was ducking Liddell at this point he has to Liddells style and power is perfect to give him a 3rd straight brutal KO loss and destroy his career.

    You two are full of ****.

    He fought Mark Hunt, a guy who was 70lbs heavier than him.
    He fought Crocop twice!......and beat him the first time, no matter what the stupid rules said.

    Silva is scared of no man.

    Did I say he was scared of Chuck :huh He might wanna get a win under his belt before he goes risking a 3rd straight brutal KO loss. The man is clearly past his prime he beat CroCop the 1st time like u mentioned and he beat Dan Henderson yet in rematches he loses almost every minute of the fights and gets KOed cold and sent to the hospital atleast Liddell lost to the same guy he just cant seem to beat.

    Yup, it could be a tactical decision on his part. If he lost to Liddell he'd be frozen out, perhaps for good. It's not a case of being afraid of Chuck, more a case of doing what's best for his career.
