haven't seen the fight yet but i've seen a lot of people bitching , saying that liddell was constantly backpeddling...that silva should 've won the decision etc.... so really won this **** ? liddel or silva ? anyway , sucks that we'll never see jackson vs silva III. i'm sick and tired of seeing liddell getting his ass handed by jackson. ps: oh and is it really the "fight of the year ?"
If you think that Silva won you have to smoking some serious herb. 30-27 is a little sketchy, Wandy landed more in round 2, but the first was all Liddel and the third round Chuck straight up beat the **** out of him. Wandy was all but out for most of that round.
Lidell CLEARLY won the fight. He got two takedowns, landed the better strikes, and had Silva hurt badly a few times... There is no question. Only HUGE HUGE pride huggers could think Silva won.
liddell clearly won....even had a couple takedowns just for good measure...it seems he smarted up a bit...not like the Jardine fight where he just let it slip away
Chuck won, and there really can't be any other outcome. Silva made it a very interesting fight, but definitely didn't do enough to win.
Silva's face was battered pretty good.....he fought hard and never gave up..he'll be back for his entertainment value....but I'm not sure he'll contend again.
super exciting fight. Especially the second round. Im happy for Liddell. If he hadnt trained very hard he would have lost.
Chuck won. He slipped in the 2nd round twice. People are thinking that was a knockdown but it wasnt. I dont know if they count knockdowns in the UFC. But it was clear that Chuck won the fight. The start of the 2nd round, Wandy landed nice shots on Chuck. 2nd round went to Silva though Silva got hurt on the 2nd round. 3rd clearly went to Chuck. 1st and 3rd belonged to Chuck. Now that Chuck is back on track, do you guys think a rematch with Jardine is next?
The first round was close but Chuck took it , Silva took the second and Chuck dominated the entire third. All in all, I think it was close enough to warrant a rematch.
