    Great card tonight for the viewers in the UK after the Chisora v Fury HW showdown

    Finally, the long awaited match between Chuck Liddel and PRIDE legend Wanderlei Silver as well as the rubber match between ATG Matt Hughes and Georges St Pierre

    Ive waited years for this one!!! So excited I finally get to see it. I think Wandy will brutally ko the Ice Man in the 1st with his patented Thai Clinch knees. Chuck aint got no chance

    And Im backing Hughes to take advantage of GSP's **** poor wrestling to get a 3rd round sub/tko

    What are your guys thoughts and predictions?

    Always a joy to rewatch this one

    Wandy took some brutal shots, as did Chuck in the second and GSP was like a man possessed

    Think the was more ''hugging'' in the boxing

    Its awesome when you see Wanderlei back off to the cage the first time. I'm always like "ohhhh ****!"

    That was cool, you dont see too many fighters playing possum in MMA like that

    You dont see too many fighters swinging at Chuck when their backs are up against the cage either

    Wandy's got bollocks, thats for sure

    GSP's strength is utterly insane. He handled Matt Hughes, a guy who used his strength to dominate ww for years, like a little fluffy kitten.
