Wandy TKO 3rd round…and he’ll surprise everyone by brutalising Chuck in the MT clinch (aka the ‘plum’).

Ahahahahaha, hilarious video….if only some people knew.

Neither star is as bright as it was a little while ago, but the match up of super aggressive Silva vs. counter punching Liddell could mean fireworks. Should be a good one.

True MMA fans take the fights as they get them, even if the timing may not be as special as if it happened last year, I for one am thankful that this fight is set (as are many others) and we get to see two incredible fighters do what they do best.

I am not playing favorites in this one, I just want to see these guys come out and throw bombs.

it matters who comes out and wants it more, but Wandy seems like the more rounded fighter but i don’t see this hitting the ground.in the stand up i think it could go either way. its going to be a knock out, just can’t wait to see this fight.

The ony thing good on this videois the music. It’s to bad that this fight is not as anticipated as it once was. I still want to see it of course and I think Chuck will catch Wanderlei with killer lef hand.

That video was lame…. how can you even try to make Wanderlei look like a puss?

It’s going to be an exciting fight regardless of any ill-conceived pre-fight hype.

I hope Chuck has updated his training since the last two fights - he still looked like he was fighting a wrestler like Tito or Randy.

That video is more of a shot at lame fans who don’t know anything about MMA except what goes on in the UFC than it is at Wandy. At least that’s what I hope it’s intention was.

Also, anyone else seen the Rampage tribute show on Pride playing on Fox Sports? Worst editing I’ve ever seen. If they cut away in the middle of a flurry of punches again I’m going to lose my fucking mind.

I hope they make a video to promote Wanderlei because that video was pretty damn disrespectful. Why didn’t they show clips from Pride when Liddell had his ass handed to him by Rampage? Totally biased.

 
Comment by Garret
2007-10-28 21:02:26

God, can you even imagine either of these fighters with three straight losses? Two is bad enough! I hope they bring it hard core instead of being afraid of that third loss. Anyone think Chuck will re-think his gameplan after the Jardine fight?

That was lame. Wanderlei deserves more respect than that. Totally one-sided video….but I don’t know about this one, I hope it doesn’t go to the judges. I’m actually more excited to see Serra vs. Hughes.

Did you figure it was one-sided all by yourself? xD Heh, I kid.

But seriously, it’s meant to be more or less satirical. A tongue-in-cheek poke at UFC fans who had no idea who Wanderlei was and thought Chuck would squash him.

Wand is gonna go right at chuck, and if chuck doesnt watch, he will probably get his head knocked off. I could see this fight going either way but if chuck is the same as he was against jardine it will be lights out for the iceman. I think liddell will try his best not to lose instead of going for the kill and if thats the case my boy chuck is FU****. I have waited to see these two lock horns for a while and cant wait to see the fireworks. If it makes it into the third round I will be very suprised. Whatever the outcome, I will be happy just being able to watch two greats collide in a classic war.

There should be a video that is mature, and contain highlight footage of both fighters. That would be great.. there is no need to promote this fight, but show footage on both fighter’s at there peak’s…

this is actually the best possible senierio for fight fans for these two to fight now instead of a little over a year a ago when they were on top.

They know its all or nothing there both hungry and will give it everything they have which means a memorable fight …………..hopefully

2007-10-29 05:29:12

i’ve got an idea for your next “promo video”. show chuck going to pride and getting an ass whopping from rampage then break away and show wanderlei almost breaking rampage in half and leaving him hanging over the bottom rope wondering where he’s at, and if wanderlei really did just about destroy him…AGAIN!

 
Comment by ToeLock
2007-10-29 05:42:20

The ONLY dissappointment that this is happening now, is that it can ONLY be a 3 round fight!!

LOL to the video, HOWEVER!!! I do like Chuck, but i’ll bet there is better highlights of Wandi about than there are of Chuck… If anyone out there thinks Wandi is a joke because they had their heads up Chucks arse for the last few years (You know who you are UFC only fans…) then Surprise :)

Past due on this fight but still can’t wait. Great video! Teaming one of the most vicious strikers ever with cotton joe! Ha. If it stays outside Liddell by TKO early second. If/ When Wandy gets inside on Chuck it will end very shortly thereafter. Thai knees are a thing of beauty!

Axe murder will dominate.

2nd round knee to face as chuck gets up and hands leave the floor.

The video is 1 of 3 so relax.

I think this will be a great fight. They will both come out blasting because 3rd loss is on the line for everybody. I have followed the careers of both and I have to call Wand on this one.

dood it was funny, everybody knows that Silva is fucking tough its just a funny clip of him hopping like a little girl while Chuck knocks ppl out im sure someone else can do one of Silva knocking ppl out while Chuck is drunk falling in a club or something it will be funny but, that doesnt take anything away from eather fighter.

Chuck by KO in the 3rd when Wandi gets sloppy and gets caught by a vicious counterpunch, looping left hook.

I think you’re missing the point: Fans here in the U.S. know who Chuck is and think he will steamroll Wandi. The casual fan doesn’t really know much about Wandi, which will all change in December. I’m sure parts 2 and 3 of the Boondock video will show that. Boondock (based on his choice of video-making) is a huge Pride fan. I’m sure there’s some sarcastic undertones here, but I don’t think they are directed toward Silva.

I’m a huge Chuck fan, but I think his days might be over, I read in an article in PLayboy november 07 issue, his knees (both) and shoulders (both) are jacked up with something ending in “itus”….anyway, I just hope this is a balls out fight. Good luck to both. Wanderlei is a maniac!

most waited and to me best fight of the year to go out with a bang, i was looking forward to silva vs franklin 2 but to me this and the hughes match i can’t wait to see

both men are coming off back to back losses, but lidell has more to lose on this
silva is back in the cage, this cage rust like hendo, takes him to a disadvantage, plus he last fought in feb,
lidell cage is his home, already fought a couple times this year, plus with two losses he has something to prove and should have more fire in his eyes than the tito feud. given that pride fighters have been doing bad in their debut, givne it’s been like 5 years for silva to come back, i see lidell winning this one, wouldn’t put money on it but at least my reputation and pretty much lets face it if lidell loses he will retire,
all i know is one will be with 3 loses in a row,

Thanks mania. It seems some people don’t get the joke. It is part 1 of three. I am venturing a guess that part two will be the same motiff but for Wandi. The video is taking a jab at the UFC fans who have already written off this fight and have no knowlege of the MMA world. I thought it was halarious. I can’t wait for parts 2 and 3.

I guess this video just proves that a sense of humor is needed to be an MMA fan. True, this vid makes Chuck look like a monster but, the real MMA fan will know better. Didn’t Wandy run off like 15 straight victories a few years back. Bottom line is this: these guys are both dangerous. They may be past there prime and reeling from consecutive losses but this fight will be the dictionary definition of “leaving it all in the ring.” Neither of them can afford not to.

Who the hell made this video? His dumbass probaly didn’t realize that Wandy whupped Rampage’s ass twice back in Pride and Liddel didn’t even beat Rampage once but got whupped twice! Wandy will win this fight.

 
Comment by WADZ
2007-10-29 17:32:51

Wandy will NOT win this fight…Lidell is going to have his way with this overrated former pride champion!! It’ll be the Chuck of old, one last time…the stakes are too high for another lackluster showing on this stage…

To all you cans who are upset about the video - RELAX! Obviously there will be more to come, and more than likely there will be a Sylva promo. Clearly this video was made some time ago, likely as a promo for Chuck and a promo for the Pride fighters (who were relatively unknown in North America) who were coming to the UFC (notice it said video 1 of 3). Clearly, there was some intended humour for the audience.

And for those who called for a video showing Chuck getting KO’d by Rampage; why would they show that as a promotion for this fight? Boy, that would be excellent marketing!!! Stay in school kids…

man i admit i’m a big chuck fan, i also love wandi. that being said chuck is an old bastard now man, time catches up with everyone eventually( except RC). i don’t see too many 37 year old boxers or running backs on tv, do you? some guys dominate for years and then one day WAM their not what they used to be. a perfect example is roy jones jr., at some point its just time to hang up the gloves or get used to being in the middle of the pack again.

It clearly says the first of three promo videos to hype this fight…The next one will probably be in Favor of Wandy, and the final one will more than likely be a combined effort of the both of them. knocking people out and getting knocked out…They are hyping the fight like the title says…I thought it was pretty funny the way they clowned the ax murder…

very funny video … still wanderlei silva is a much much more agressive fighter. he’s the one who’s gonna make this fight exciting.He got losses from heavier weight class individuals such as mirko cro cop.But still he would never lose without a fury of fist to keith jardine wich was pretty boring to watch . p.s GSP is the best go quebec go

If you have seen chuck fight quinton jackson twice and chuck get his ass beat twice, and then vanderlei whoops quinton’s ass twice (by brutal ko),if you put 2 and 2 together you have a pretty good base to go off of. That being said i am a die hard mma fan and have seen basically all of chucks and silva’s fights. i think silva will just be too much for chuck. He is much younger, stronger and faster and i even give him the edge in overall striking, he is a complete striker who uses every weapon he has, knees,elbow shoulders,fists,feet anything man. Fuck even his very good bjj when he has too, he is a freak. Lets face it chuck is a one dimentional fighter who just has lost a step. quinton jackson nor keith jardine are not even half the strikers vanderlei is. Vanderlei is probably licking his chops. SILVA KO
