Sure would be a pisser to get my hopes up for this fight, and then be let down by some jackass injury!

They could benefit greatly in the U.S. if Silva were to beat Liddell. But how is any of this going to benefit Pride's live attendance in Japan? Also, the wording in the translation is very interesting... "He says his and Vanderlei’s purpose in coming to the UFC is to take Chuck’s belt and make Silva the “first Pride/UFC double champion in history.'" That wording just indicates that Wanderlei could be a double champion, but it doesn't say anything about Wanderlei's Pride belt being on the line in the UFC.

Hopefully Chuck gets by Babalu uninjured. Sobral is no joke and will be tough to beat. Hey Zack, when is intalment 22 coming? It's been a while since your last show.

Silva is a machine. the only thing which goes against silva is the rules change. however I don't think he will need the soccer kicks. he will be too fast and aggressive for chuck Silva will destroy chuck.

That said, Wanderlei is a beast and I hope he takes this. Chuck’s cardio is much improved, and I give him a lot of credit for his cardio/strategy in the 2nd Jeremy Horn fight.

When they announced it, I was astonished. Everyone that was there exchanged high fives! It was almost worth the 39.95 just to hear that anouncment. I would love to see a "Super Bowl" type of event each year where each Organization went against the other fighter for fighter. They could split the PPV money, and alternate between UFC rules and Pride Rules. Kinda like MLB does with American and National leauges. This would be a dream come true!

I feel that the UFC is becoming like WWF/WWE or whatever you want to call the fake bs. I mean I haven't before seen such BS in my life. the Shamrock, Ortiz fight was BS. Having Lidell enter the ring to stear at Silva. That is pure wwf, wwe style. I have to say up to that moment in the event I had my wonders. Once I saw that I felt this "crap" is rigged. To the UFC I say that Dana White was the worst thing that could have happened to the sport. He did good by publicizing the events. now however I feel by the looks of the fights that they are rigging the fights. and not fighthing to stay on top but fighting for the pay check and taking it easy on the way. I have seen much better organized fights in the fighting bars in Iowa. They need to make it like it was "back in the day". But, for now, I have to turn my attention to only pride fighters as that is where the true "fighting" is. To the UFC I hope that you start to realize you turning in to the fake wrestling section for me. Keep it real... At least Ortiz and Shamrock truely hate each other. or they are good at making it look that way. The Lidell/ Silva face off was pure piss. if it were ortiz or shamrock they would have had people in the middle calming the down. I just have a comment in regards to the July 8th pay per view event.
