“Hi folks, I`m inaugurating this space so that we can exchange ideas and for you to know what is going on to me. Here in the United States the training is hard, I`m fully devoted to the show ahead for you. I’ve been training an average of 4 hours a day. I`m training in the morning and in the afternoon, always assisted by all coaches. We make a pretty close MMA family. Await to see you here and God bless you.”

Yes, even “The Axe Murderer” now has a blog. He also looks and sounds to be in great fighting shape for his upcoming light heavyweight showdown with the “Iceman” at UFC 79: “Nemesis” on December 29 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I can’t wait to see Wanderlei again, I’ll be checking on his blog frequently. A great fight to end a great year of MMA.

Being a Chuck Lidell fan even I have to admit that judging by this pic I am pretty positive wandi will be in much better physical shape than my boy Chuck for this fight…..ie no beer belly, lol

I like both fighters as well BUT I think Wandy has to be the favorite here. He will not gas out nor get knocked out. I believe he is training with a good gym and he will look much like Couture did after taking time off from his last two losses to Liddell.

Chuck is in trouble for sure!

Wanderlei looks like the old Axe Murderer. I see him bringing in the passion and aggression that we have seen before.

Wanderlei round 2 KO, Knees.

PhilQny: Long time mma fans have been waiting so long for this fight, I cant believe we are 30 days away. Wanderlei looks shredded, chuck will be sporting his gut. I think all the trainig wanderlei has done with the chute box academy in addition to his recent workouts with couture, will provide us with the best wanderlei that we have ever seen. Shogun’s loss was a wake up call for wanderlei…The Americans are for real, wanderlei has the proper training and all the tools to take down Liddell.

Just thinking of wanderlei on his side of the octgon, starring viciously at the Iceman….Then wanderlei starts with his patenant,putting his hands together and rotating his wrists…,..Seriously, just thinking about it gives me goose bumps!!!!!!!!!

Merry mma christmass to us all!

Hard to tell for sure… but it looks like he’s lost some of his bulk. Now he looks like he could go 3 rounds easy. With these two, I don’t think it’ll go 3 rounds. AxeMurderer looking shredded may not mean a thing in the physical aspect of the fight. However, that’s going to boost his confidence knowing he can go 3 rounds without gassing. Man, this is going to be an interesting fight. I hope Chuck wins, but I’m afraid he won’t. If Silva wins, I think he’ll get Rampage next.

Silva is looking good. I agree with VM that Wandi winning will make for better future match ups, and that is who I am cheering for, but unless he comes out with a totally new game plan, I see the couterstriking of Liddell giving Chuck the win. Thoughts?

no way chuck gets his ass kicked. Wanderlei has an attacking style in which he just rushes his oppenents and chuck his more well suited counter punching and chuck will catch wandy with a huge counter and drop him and trust me it will be early in the fight to dont expect it to make it past the first two minutes.

First of all, none of us have seen pics of Chuck so maybe he is in better shape now. Next, if Wand is indeed training with Couture then Chuck is in real trouble. Couture is a great strategist and he has fought Chuck twice. I’m sure Couture has something planned for Chuck via Wand …

I cant wait to see chuck throw that counter punch and knock silva the f out. Then all you folks on the band wagon will hop off. He may be shredded without a doubt but can he really take a punch from chuck. And as for taking chuck down. Not gonna happen. Randy had a hard time taking chuck down and when he took him down he couldnt keep him there. I see this one ending in the first round with silvas next oppenent being tito. CHUCK WINS FIRST ROUND BY KNOCKOUT!

Yeah, at first I thought that for sure this fight is going to end in a full on rape. But after seeing the composed focus of Wandi, I think he’s going to shock the world and restrain himself from the raping.

Comment by Ade

I said this before when Chuck was fighting Rampage and again when he was going to fight Jardine. All of Chucks last few wins were against non strikers and he has not had deal with proper strikers in a long while. I thought that was one of the factors why he would lose against Rampage and also against Jardine. I really do not think it will be any different this time. He still has knock out power without doubt, but I do not see him winning this fight. Horn, Babalu,Tito and Randy are definately not what you would call strikers. Rampage and Jardine most definately are. Chucks had it easy with his stand up over the last few years fighting non strikers and now he is paying for it. I believe the lack of stand competition he has had, has seriously weakened his game.
Fighters like Rampage and Jardine were always going to be able to land shots on Chuck, which is something he is not used to dealing with. I never thought Chuck would beat either of them. Chuck and Wandy are definately able to knock each other out, but I see Chuck going out in the first round. He has better chance of beating Wandy than Rampage or Jardine as Wandy is pretty reckless with his aggressive style and comes charging in, but just how Rampage took him out and Jardine knocked him down, I see Wandy knocking him out as well. Give him a top ground game person I would say Chuck would still probably take them out. Give him a top striker to face and I would definately think twice about putting my money on him. I am a Chuck fan, and have been for a while, I just tell it like I see it.

you are right his striking skills where never the best although he did improve alot, he was able to knock people out but got out struck alot,in the 2nd horn fight horn actually out boxed him or landed alot more its just chuck can take a punch and only needs one of his to land to do damage,his first fight with babalu he was getting out struck but landed that kick and knocked him out.he does have good striking but not near the best but only needs one strike to end the fight.

I belive we will see the best fight these two fighters have fought in ages, if not their careers. Both are fuelled by their desire to keep on existing in the world of MMA. Chuck Lidell has to prove to Dana and to the UFC fan community that he is still one of the best and deserves to be where he is. However, i believe Wanderlei has a greater motive and therefore a greater driving force: He moved away from Brazil with his family to the USA. He is in a completely new country,and the only way for him to earn a living is through fighting. Commercials? yeah,of course they give Wandy money, but if Wandy loses, the hype around the Axe Murderer, and the legend of the Axe Murderer,will simmer out and die. I´d hate to see Wandy end like Muhammad Ali back in his day, when he simply couldnt stop fighting and tarnished his legendary image by losing series upon series of fights.
Wanderlei looks in much better shape, and it looks as if he´s geared to have an extra large gas tank (remember that he lost to Tito Ortiz in the ring because he ran out of fuel), plus he´s been surely working on his ground game and striking. Everyone keeps adressing Wandy´s style as his key weakness. How do we know he hasnt learned and has actually learned to keep a proper Muay Thai gurad even when going after his opponent for the kill?
I expect to see great things from Wand.

On the otehr hand, Chuck should be motivated as hell as well. His ego has been stomped on three too many times, he´s losing his base because people are saying his prime time has passed, and though he may be a legend, even legends can find themselves without fights if they lose too many times.
i expect Chuck to be working intensely on his counter-punching,especially evading the flurry of bombs Silva tends to release on his enemies. And lets also not forget those vicious knees. Chuck Norris lol Lidell may have a strong chin, but so does Wanderlei,since he has been fighting bare-knuckle brawls, and MMA since his earliest years. Chuck can drop atomic bombs, one-punch devastators, but he has to get those off in the first place.
This fight has the potential to live up to the gladiator fights of old times: Both men are fighting for their existence,for their honor,for their dignity,and for their right to continue living the dream of being a top-notch MMA fighter. This one will either be over fast,or it will turn into a Griffin-Bonnar-style all-out war with someone getting ktfod in the most likely 3rd round.

[quote comment=”222276″]CHUCK WINS FIRST ROUND BY KNOCKOUT![/quote]The trend is that Chuck’s timing has been off. I have a feeling he’ll once again be off-target by a split second or so against Wand, meaning, i don’t think he’ll connect clean enough to put Wanderlei away.

he may be able to maintain endurance, strength, skill etc. during training but reflexes and such seem to fade with age. and it looks as though it’s starting to happen with him already.

and that’s definitely a problem w/ his (static, one-dimensional) counter-punching style. deterioration in reflexes don’t affect wrestlers and grapplers as much.

Mania… is there any Chuck news? I would be interested in finding out how his training is going. The Paulo Filho incident was funny, but Chuck has been in stealth mode.

Got anything?

SO FAR, i see Wandy taking this fight. If the Jardine/Liddell Chuck comes anywhere close to the octagon, he’s going to lose, and in likely devastating fashion.
I honestly think Wand is back though. Look at the dedication.
Moved his family to America. Learning English. Chute Box trained. Xtreme Couture trained. Looks to be in great shape.
Is also learning to strum the media.

Wand is planning on staying even with a loss. If Chuck loses do you think we would see him again? I can only answer with a maybe.

Alexanders loss…. did you see it? He got worked by a better fighter. He totally froze on the ground and started blocking punches with his chin. Certainly not the best strategy. I like Houston, but we all got carried away. He will be back no doubt, but he did not throw that fight.
Silva is dangerous, just like every other Silva.

I have no idea if fights are being fixed, but lets look at UFC as a corporate entity. There is WAY more money invested in the BRAND UFC then any gambling could generate in one fight.

Silva has a really strong chin. Watch the shots he took from Mark Hunt, and he recovered incredibly fast.

And though the Hamil and Bisping fight was a touch off, it wasn’t THAT clear cut to me and obvious that Hamil won. Bisping made it close

Since Jardine beat Chuck I have to believe Wandy can inflict as much damage if not more. Wandy for the win.

Gotta put my money on Wandi for this one. Like both guys, but Chuck has begin to show that he cannot hang with top competition as of late, maybe it was a fluke who knows, but there is no such evidance with Wandi. Hope he comes back the same old Wandi as ever.

I saw Chuck and Hackelman up in SLO, he looks ready and focused and says that he’s got as more intensity built up than he did for Tito. He has an attitude when he talks about Wanderlei, he’s ready for a war!

Chuck in 2!

Chuck hasnt landed a big punch in two fights. He wont go three fights with that stat. Plus, Silva rushing like a mad man suits Chuck nicely. Chuck 1st round via devestating KO!!!!

Chuck playing opossum. He’ll get back to winning.

Then again…

I’ve ran over a few opossums before. They’re not too smart critters…Tasty though.

A lot of people have been waiting for this fight, including the fighters, but I think it’s bad timing for Lidell. He’s coming off of 2 losses, one of which was by KO when he lost his title. There’s no way he is 100% mentally, but he may not have much of a chance on the 29th if he’s shakey at all.

I like both guys, but emotionally, I want Chuck to win via KO late in the 3rd (at the end of a great long fight). But if I were putting money on it, I would have to go with Silva.

If Wanderlei rushes in and Chuck connects with a good shot, personally I think Wanderlei can handle it… he have seen worse days for sure.

You can see how focused Wandy is for this fight by the brightness of his teeth!

For the record, I’ve never been a Chuck fan - I’ve always felt he was overrated. He’s too one-dimensional. Sprawl counter punch. That will work against grapplers because he’s got a damn good sprawl, but his striking is not and never has been the best despite common belief. He does hit hard, I’ll give him that.

Wanderlei has more ways to win this fight and should pull it out if he can avoid getting laid out by a Chuck overhand right. I think he can and will do that in this 3-rounder.

I’m not a Chuck hater, but after him winning so many fights in a row, it was kinda satisfying seeing the “what the hell just happened” look on his face after Rampage caught him. Perhaps we’ll see it again!

Wandy is a better fighter hands down.Chuck doesn’t have a chance at winning this one exept a miracle.All you chuck fans know that if Rampage did it Wandy can do it also, plus he can make it exciting.Wandy is the new LHW campion.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, yes wandy can beat chuck but Rampage and Henderson… That could be another story.

If/when chuck loses I think you will see chuck fight Houston A. That would be a big a$$ fight. And one that either guy could win.

They will pit Rampage vs Forest cause Rampage will win. Then they will pit Wandy vs SOKO… Forest will Fight Jardine and Loser of Wandy and SOKO will take on Henderson.

This division is stacked wickedly. I love it but other than chuck and wandy who in the division have they really matched up to date for position.

Remember when everyone counted Jardine out in his fight against Lidell? Everyone’s counting Chunk out this time too, and they’re probably right.

Winner: Silva by cerebral hematoma.

[quote post=”4057″]Chuck wins 1st round KO straight right to the chin followed by 3 unprotected face smashes until stoppage. Some of you nerds forgot how good Chuck is, don’t count him out yet.[/quote]

wtf? Silva wins TKO R1 by way of knee.

im full of mixed views on this one, i really want chuck to win as i am a big fan. However listening to some of your views i have to say it is a daunting task for liddell. In true fact he hasnt really beaten a true striker in a while, that said, his striking and stand up i feel is better than he is getting credit for, my main worry for chuck is that he is open to strikes too often. I dont feel the clinch will be an issue, iv seen videos on chuck training defence on this and it looks pretty good.
Its a great fight, and styles make fights, these two guys both have the ability to knock each other out that is the appealing factor of the fight. Although i have to say i think there is a twinkle of fear in the eye of the axe murderer, where as chuck is chuck and i honestly believe he fears nobody!
Heres how its goin down……
Chuck enters calm as can be with his bouncing stride to the octagon, atmosphere electric as the hairs on the back of your neck stand!! The axe murderer stares accross the octagon at liddell full of intent, chuck closes in after both fighters have been introduced and Big john says “lets fight” ….
Silva a little more cautious than usual makes his way to liddell, before a birrage of blows are exchanged, one of which is a straight right from liddell close in to silvas eye, first blood spilt….
At the start of round two, silva seems more confident and catches liddell, although is unable to secure the clinch, IT is at this point liddell throws a high kick and lands before landing numerous big punches to send the axe murederer to the canvas, liddell jumps on him to explode with more blows before big john has to call a stop to the contest

Winner by way of TKO in the second round chuck the ……ICEMAN LIDDELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow id seriously like to see chuck throw a high kick on silva….lmao havent seen one of those in how long….lol i think youre version of how its going to go down maybe a little skewed due to you probably hoping against hope that silva makes every mistake possible for that situation to possibly arise……lol chuck would gas with the cardio freak that is wanderlei silva.
