The MMA thread

LOL @ the above prediction of Liddell beating Silva.

HILARIOUS.

I'll be back in the thread tomorrow night to see what you have to say.

OMG WILL U B BAK!? WHAT EVER WILL I DO IF MY WAFFLY PREDICTION FAILS TO BE CORRECT!



Christ you act like I made some 10 paragraph Sherdoggian "OMG LIDDELL GON WINZ!" post. Assbutt.

Silva may well stomp his ass(figuratively of course, none of this allowed over here=P), but if you think my reasoning is crazy you just stupid. And probably ugly.

Does Silva *not* have a straight-ahead fighting style?
Is Silva *not* aggressive?
Is Liddell *not* a counterpuncher who feasts on these two traits?

Like I said, there's every possibility that Silva will catch him and end it(and I hope he does). Could happen 10 seconds in. But strictly from a styles-make-fights point of view, Liddell should have the advantage.

Care to make any actual points about *why* thinking he'll win is "hilarious"? Preferably before the actual show so if Silva wins you don't post some brainless bullshit about how you knew it all along?

It isn't that big of a deal to me, lol.

Thanks for the 4 paragraphs defending a fighter whose supposed "skill" is just because of his popularity though. Liddell is extremely overrated. Almost as bad as Tito.

Now go put on your Tapout shirt and shadowbox in the corner.

[Grimmlokk]

Well-phrased and reasoned response. Thank you.

[arkk91]

Lol.

[huh]

Arkk you're a fucking pompous troll on this board. All you do is degrade threads and make no effort to progress them beyond stroking your own ego. All I ever see you post is narcissistic bullshit because you somehow think you're god's intellectual gift to sports and athletics. GTFO.

I hope Liddell wins the fight, but who knows? If he's got the confidence he had from a few fights ago Wanderlei doesn't stand a chance.

[Tuco]

Man you guys take this really personally.

Too much steroid.

With their styles I could see either taking it. We've seen it before it only takes one punch for a KO. However, it seems like Chuck has the advantage because Silva won't be allowed to do everything he could in Pride.

I'm pushing for Silva, but damn... I just want to see one of them get ktfo.

[huh]

Chuck/Wand will end with 3 round UD. Just cause god hates me.

And freakshow matches are awesome.

[Grumath]

jesus wept! That guy's head is as big as Fedor's torso... And Fedor has a big fuck torso!

Calm down tiger, it ain't that serious.

[Arakkis]

I am so pumped about this card I am ditching my family on the last night I am visiting them to go to a sports bar in Long Beach to see it.

My Guesses:

IFL GP:
Nelson vs. Jaoude
Benji Radach vs. Matt Horwich
Delson Heleno vs. Jay Hieron
Chris Horodecki vs. Ryan Schultz
Wagnney Fabiano vs. L.C. Davis
Rory Markham vs. Brett Cooper

UFC 79:
-Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Hughes
-Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva - Could really go either way
-Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs. Lyoto Machida - complete guess here, haven't seen him go past just a few minutes in a fight, but I'm assuming Quest has been working his conditioning and wrestling
-Melvin Guillard vs. Rich Clementi
-Eddie Sanchez vs. Soa Palalei
-Dean Lister vs. Jordan Radev
-Manny Gamburyan vs. Nate Mohr
-James Irvin vs. Luis Cane
-Roan Carneiro vs. Tony DeSouza
-Mark Bocek vs. Doug Evans

YARENNOKA:
-Fedor Emelianenko vs. Hong Man Choi - Although it is 2007, so there is a good chance that Choi wins by flip kick, or flying gogoplata or something
-Hayato "Mach" Sakurai vs. Hidehiko Hasegawa
-Gilbert Melendez vs. Mitsuhiro Ishida
-Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Luiz Azeredo
-Kazuo Misaki vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama
-Murilo Bustamante vs. Makoto Takimoto
-Shinya Aoki vs. Bukyung Jung
-Michael Russow vs. Roman Zentsov

K-1:
-Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Masakatsu Funaki
-Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto vs. Rani Yahya
-Bob Sapp vs. Bobby Ologun
-Hideo Tokoro vs. Kiyoshi Tamura
-Ikuhisa Minowa vs. Wagner da Conceicao Martins (aka Zuluzinho)
-Melvin Manhoef vs. Yosuke Nishijima
-Joachim Hansen vs. Kazuyuki Miyata


Right now I'm afraid that Liddell vs. Silva may end up being a slow fight with both of them playing it safe since they are each coming off of 2 losses.
