Let’s get realistic about this.. Chuck has fought a LOT of intense fighters in his long history of knockouts. He has long enough arms to easily be able to stay back far enough from Wanderlei. The height/reach is a big advantage in this one, IMO.

Like is said above, Wanderlei’s big chance is to leg kick Chuck like Jardine did. THAT might get him a win. So, there is a chance… But I would think Chuck is looking for that.

This win goes to Liddell. There will be a rematch, though, if that happens.

Seriously???

Wanderlei is soooooo much tougher than Chuck! I don’t think Chuck has a chance in heck of pulling this off. Silva is training for the fight of his life and there is no way in hell he will let someone who has basically 1 weapon beat him.

He has such a huge following all over because he is SO dominant. Look for him to just demolish Chuck one way or another. They don’t call him the ‘Axe Murderer’ for no reason. Damn, just look at the guy!

I think Liddell is going to catch Silva. He is used to people coming in ‘fast and furious’, so will be ready for that offensive. He has height and arm length that will help him beat Wanderlei. His takedown defense is among the best out there, so I don’t see a choke out at all. I can’t see Wanderlei getting close enough to use any of his ‘patented moves’.

Chuck Wins.

My thoughts: Wanderlei is going to crush Liddell. Hey might not knee him like you say above, but it will be a knockout not a decision. He knows that this is an important fight, he is younger and stronger than Chuck. Chuck’s only chance is a lucky punch IMO.
