I might catch a lot of shit for this but FUCK IT.
I think Silvas fight was rigged. Oh yeah, i said it. That fucker was so tired from the get go. Plus, miraculously, when Silva knocked Liddell on his ass, he let him up... Um is this the Silva I know?!
Silva would usually kick an opponent in the head at that point (which is illegal in UFC), I don't think he knew what to do considering how rocked he was himself at that point.
He also let so many of Liddell's jabs in! Was he really that 'off?'
Liddell had a pretty sizable reach advantage and if there is anyone in the world that loops their punches more than Liddell, it's Silva.
Not to mention, every time Silva got some hits in, he let these jabs that seemed so easy to avoid in, resulting in a bloody left eye.
Every time Silva landed shots, Chuck landed shots. You could tell after the first exchange that Silva got caught in he was weary of Chuck's power.
I really thought something was amiss or Silva was not even 75%.
Silva was in perfect shape, Chuck just actually trained for this fight. He was noticeably leaner, and even had a good gameplan.
But fuck it...I wanted to see the GSP fight more than anything...
And WOW.But was it really a fucking surprise?
Doublebase, how do you like Hughes now? He had nothing!
I truly went ape shit in HOOTERS when GSP went to Hughes the same way Hughes won over him.
However, he didnt tap right? But he did scream....? I need a vid.
I thought the card was total shit until the Liddell fight. I picked Machida via UD, never expected Soku to be just as bad as Houston Alexander on the ground, but it happened. The HW fight was atrocious, just horrible. Clementi/Guillard went just like I thought it would and so did the title fight. So all in all, I was extremely disappointed in this card because there were absolutely no surprises except for Liddell's takedowns. Hughes vs. Serra would have been so much better. Oh well.
