Chucks cardio was shit when he fought rampage jackson. Going to pride change the fighter chuck lidell has become. Back then his kickboxing was a huge factor. He KO'd Babalu Sobral in stunning fashion. I see a standup war. Its hard to take chuck down, only a few have been successful and silva isnt the type of fighter that wants the fight to go to the ground. Ive also noticed Silvas unsportsmanlike fightstyle that hes used to getting away with in pride and vale tudo, headbutts, grabbing your opponent around the head and laying shots after shots. MMA needs this kind of superfights to attract more ppv buys outside the US. Taking away Silvas kicks and knee strikes on the ground or holding onto the cage is gonna take a few weapons and hes gonna have to rely on dropping some serious elbows to stop the fight as soon as possible.

BY THE WAY SILVA FIGHHTS CROCOP AGAIN. SHOULD BE A GOOD GAUGE TO SEE WHERE HE'S AT.

Then if he gets by Mirko un hurt he has to fight the winner of Barnett/Nog on the same night. I am starting to think more that the fight might not happen and it might be some funny stuff like when Fujita & Sakuraba were supposed to fight for the UFC, but I am probably just being a spoiler

I AGREE WITH SILVA BEING UNSPORTSMAN LIKE BUT CHUCKS THUMBS ARE NOTORIUS HIS TAKEDOWN DEFENSE HAS ALSO BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO HIS FENCE GRABBING TOO.

Both men can be knocked out it might take more strikes to the chin or temple but it is possible.I think wanderlei is more well rounded than chuck is. besides wanderlei is a bjj blackbelt.everyone is saying wand will not beable to use stomps and soccer kicks which is true but he has elbows and he comes from muai thai which uses elbows. chuck better not over look babalu tho.
