i had the first round that could of gone to either of them, but more likely chuck could of won it.

I AGREE BUT CHUCK WON IN THE END BUT ITS WANDYS OWN FAULT NOT HAVING 2-3 FIGHTS BEFORE HE FOUGHT THE BEST, 5 MIN ROUNDS SUIT CHUCK BUT IF IT HAD TO BE IN PRIDE RING WITH THEIR RULES WE’D BE TALKING ABOUT WANDI WINNING NOT CHUCK, HE SHOULD OF HAD A COUPLE OF WARM UP FIGHTS TO GET USED TO THE RING AND RULES HE’S AT A BIG LOSS NOT ABLE TO KICK ON THE GROUND THATS HIS GAME

i expected a split to chuck, not a unanimous? please tell me how chuck won that 2nd round[/quote]

Chuck did not win the 2nd round. I was wondering about that too. He fell twice in the 2nd round and still won it.[/quote]

And Hendo has way better stiking from the outside than Randy as well. Epscially the big overhand right. Randy has never been known as someone to have one punch KO power. However, Dan does, and has put it on display putting people to sleep for years.

[quote comment=”251189″][quote comment=”250956″]I really wanted to see Wanderlei win…

I wish that Chuck had went for one of his takedowns at the beginning of the first round. If he had, I think that the outcome of the fight would have been different. In round 2, Silva dropped Chuck with a punch. And what did he do? He backed off and allowed Chuck to get up. Why? Because he wanted to KNOCK CHUCK OUT, STANDING! If he simply wanted to win, he would have jumped all over Chuck when Chuck was down and hurt and went for the kill. But he didn’t. He wanted to entertain the fans with a war, and end it in a knockout. And how does Chuck repay him for his kindness? By lay ‘n’ praying on top of Wanderlei for the last 30 seconds of the fight dry humping him trying to eek out a decision. If Chuck was a TRUE warrior to the highest degree, as Wanderlei Silva is, he would have stood toe to toe with the Axe Murderer swinging for the fences trying to hit that memorable homerun in the bottom of the ninth of the World Series. But instead, he stepped up the plate, holding the bat to his shoulder, hoping to get a base on balls.

In all, I was only dissapointed with that last 30 seconds. Chuck just wanted to play it safe and deploy the Josh Koscheck strategy.

Wanderlei will be back. And still, at this moment, I believe that Wanderlei has a better chance at becoming UFC champ than Chuck does.

I don’t know what all this talk is about Rampage not wanting to fight Chuck a thrid time because he’s scared. LOL. Was Tito affraid of Shamrock when they fought the 3rd time? NO. Rampage has Chuck’s number, and they BOTH know it.[/quote]

VM: I thought the same exact things as you man. I think wanderlei only last that fight becaue like u said, he was too worried about putting on a classic fight and ending the epic war in a KO. He could have jumped on Chuck for the finish on a couple occasions but prefered to back up, let chuck recover, and try for a Highlight reel KO. I feel bad that wandy lost that fight especially since I really think he could have finished him. I also really thought it was cheesy of chuck to end the epic battle by pulling a sherk and try humping him til the bell rang, instead of giving the fight an ending that it really deserved by lowering his chin and banging it out for the last 30 seconds. As a fan, I really appreciate wanderlei sacrificing a win in a HUGE fight, just to try and give US something spectacular. Chuck fought well, but I was really disapointed that he chose to end the fight that way. That was something gutless that I would never think I would see out of chuck. I commend Wandy for trying to treat us to an exciting night especially during a night where the previous 3 fights were boring, crappy snoozefests.

On another note, I am surprised that more people havent commented on the scoring, and Joe Rogan’s bogus biased commentary. The 1st round could have gone either way. It is a travesty that all 3 judges didnt award the second round to wanderlei, and Chuck clearly won the 3rd round. I expected to see a split decision but to my surprise 2 of the 3 judges had wanderlei loosing the 2nd round (which is worse then awarding Bisping the fight over Hamil) and all 3 judges had chuck winning the 1st round, which I felt could have gone either way. The only round chuck decisively won was the 3rd. Something needs to be done about the judging. Its understandable when a Bullsh*t decsiion happens in an England event, but to have that kind of judging in Vegas is completely unacceptable!’

Joe Rogan didnt do that fight justice either. All I herd was chuck this, chuck that. Wamderlei was cracking Liddel with some Big shots and Rogan didnt even mention it….I was shocked at how one sided they tried to make the fight look. When wandy dropped chuck, they tried to say he slipped…what a joke. Mute the volume on your TV and re watch that fight because Rogan and Goldberg really tried to destort the perception of that fight and I think it was a complete JOKE…I dont understand why the UFC has to try and meddle with crap like this…Its a great Sport, just let the chips fall where they may, instead of trying to control everything, by destorting everything. The UFC tries to hard to turn certain fighthers into stars and then market these company made stars and I dont agree with it. Stars are created on there own. The UFC did everything in its power to try rebuild Liddell into a star, even sacrfacing wanderlei….but In my eyes Wanderlei emerged from that fight the true STAR, he put the Fans in front of his career and I was so happy to see the crowd give him such a warm reception in a loosing effort.[/quote]

Great post John. I’m happy to hear you agree.

[quote comment=”251728″]as all you can see chuck beat silva fair & squarem,both let it all out., & al knows chuck won w/out any excuses from wandy side,but now somebody saying that if fight goes on 5 rounds chuck will be KTFO? oh man, y are so people so bias w/their idol? why those people keep trying to find even a smallest excuse for their favorite fighter,

leave MMA coz u dont understand it![/quote]

I am not making excuses for Wanderlei. He took everything Chuck had to throw at him, inluding takedowns, and Chuck still couldn’t put Wanderlei away. Instead, I am questioning Chuck’s stategy in the 3rd round. Both Chuck and Wanderlei have wanted this fight for like 6 years. THey both have said about a million times that when they do fight that they will swing for the fences until they knock the other guy out. At least one of the fighters kept his word.

I saw that.

MACHIDA VS JARDINE (winner gets title shot against rampage/griffin) many argued that jardine deserved a title shot as much as griffin. machida is undeafeated with notable wins over sokou, nakamura, franklin, bj penn, and bonnar.

LIDDELL VS EVANS (gets next title shot) liddell should fight the only guy left in the top five, rashad.

all the rest can duke it out to move closer to the belt.
wandy, thiago, shogun, bonnar, tito, houston, sokou, and lambert (if he beats gouveia). however i dont think the three chute box related guys will fight eachother.[/quote]

Keith Jardine Beat Forrest Griffin by KO, and then he beat Chuck Liddell by decision,
and now He should face Rampage, winner gets chuck
it is totally not right that griffin after losing to Keith gets a title shot, no sense the worse situation should have
keith j. vs forrest again?!?!?!!?
dana’s boyz griffin and liddell
