    Was nice. 11 minutes flew by.

    Those damn knees though. You can't leave your head laying there and being held.

    Knees are ****ING BRUTAL!

    Do you think Wanderlei can beat Liddell?

    No, not at this point in their careers, I would have always favored chuck somewhat, but especially now that Wandy has been hurt very badly in 2 fights.

    Silvas style of punching is perfect for Chuck to throw that one counter he needs to turn the lights off, whereas if Wandy could get Chuck in the clinch he could ruin him with knees, but not even great clinch fighters and grapplers can get Chuck into a prolonged clinch anymore.

    He has a weird chin. You've seen some rock him, some not etc Can he get to Liddell? Even if he does I don't think has what it takes to outstrike him or take him down and keep him down.

    I think Silva is robotic and stiff. A sharpshooter like Liddell will rip him up BUT if Liddell is off at all, he'll be in for a world of pain. Liddell lives off of being punch perfect. Admittingly if he ****s up he can still avoid the take down and get up off the floor but it leads to a total loss of rythm. Again, Liddell can overcome that ala Belfort. So I can see a dominating win or a tough time but he still leaves with the W.

    Silva is brutal but Liddell knows all about knees, elbows etc

    Cage is bigger than the ring too and suits a mover more but then again the cage suits someone who wants to pin you.

    I love this GIF, the punch sends a shockwave all through Rampages body.

    I think I've seen quite alot of his stuff. When he unleashes he looks brutal but I maintain he is quite robotic and stiff, especially around the neck and shoulder area.

    Oh yeah, again, does anyone know the songs on the video?
    Especially the last rap song and the two build up songs.

    Thanks.

    After dismantling the iceman, I thought for sure that Rampage would win a close one with Wanderlei but boy was I wrong. Those knees were devastating. :scaredas:

    Rampage was doing his thing. He has stand up and ground but BOOM those knees are brutal.
