**** off. now your being an ahole. there are cyclists who like this stuff and I cant see myself being SO obsessed with the pros that I'd post everyday on a fighting site. I save that for time bike related forums. just wanted to hear an American opinion on it, and when I read your "1st round KO", I couldnt take you seriously.

My money's on Silva...after watching him just demolish Sakuraba (who I think is still THE most technical fighter around) you gotta give him respect. Been watching pride for the last 6 years and only started watching UFC....No contest Pride has the better fighters. Just look at the differences...most of the fights in the UFC are won by KO or TKO and are mostly stand up boxing matches (Anyone see that last Arlovski fight?). Pride is by far a more technical because their fighters are so much more experienced that they can actually get the take down.

Oh and having an actual ring rather than the octagon would have made MMA acceptance into the mainstream much faster since you don't have the stigma of being a "Cage Match". Plus my having a actual ring you nullify fighters whose signiture is to pin their opponent against the fence and ground and pound ( CoughTITOORTIZCough)

Personally I would love to see a Sakuraba vs. Ortiz/Couture fight. Japanese "Pro Wrestling" against Greco Roman.

Pride is big because K1 is big in Japan. KI is shown live in prime time on free to air TV here so when you get hugely popular fighters like Crocop crossing to Pride the advertisers will come too.

Wow, Chuck knocked Babalu out! Who would have guess? (besides me?) Man, I hope the Axe Murderer trains his ass off, 'cause he is next in line to get knocked the f*ck out! (In my best Chris Tucker voice)

I knew I should have put money down on it.

How many people have knocked out Randy Couture? How many people have knocked out Babalu? I can't count the number of times people have said this.

When Chuck Liddell started out, he was a kick boxer. He knocked out fools with kicks, not punches. Then when he started MMA, he was choking guys out. He can do a lot more than punch, he just hasn't had to in a while.

I'm not saying he will win for sure, but I am saying I won't be shocked if he knocks this guy out too. The first time he knocked out Babalu, they said it was luck. The first time he knocked out Couture, they said it was luck. What are they saying now? Is he THAT lucky to knock out both dudes twice (both guys had never been knocked out, right)?

have you ever watched silva fight? silva's been my hero for a long time, been watching him forever. there is no way he's going to lose to chuck. liddel is a badass, he'll knock anyone out in ufc....but not pride

But if they fight UFC rules, Silva will get beat. It will be a great fight, but my guess is by the end of the 2nd round, if it's not over, it will be within the first minute of the 3rd round.

I have tried to watch pride and wasn't impressed. I don't like the ring, it limits the options and leverage points. I saw the highlight reels of Silva and he looks tough. But it's the same crap every said about Babalu, and he didn't last 2 minutes last night. I would have been pissed if I would have paid to see it.

Chuck said after the last fight, he didn't care who he fights (Tito or Silva) because he will beat them in the first round either way.
