Whose going to watch?

I hope Thales Leites wins over Silva.

Hmm, interesting Denis Kang is fighting tonight as well. Let's see how he does against Prof X.

Shogun TKOs Chuck Liddell 1st round

Left hook drops Liddell, Shogun drops down and lands several blows.

Chuck Liddell most likely retiring from UFC

Didn't get to see entire match, but from what I saw, the Silva vs Leites fight was extremely boring.

Went the distance 5 rounds with unanimous decision to Silva. Both didn't do much during the match.

The crowd was chanting "Boring" during the whole match, and even chanted GSP during the match lol.

Shogun looking pretty good, man. I mean, he was exchanging with Liddell, TOOK HIM DOWN, attempted submissions, dude he did the works on him

Pretty impressive and seemless head movement - Shogun's one of the few guys who actually has used it in exchanges. Most people will do some head movement but once they start throwing bombs their head is stationary



See this fight is an excellent example of why some professional fights between experts are boring: Instead of trying to pull guard and shut down the attack after getting rocked the BJJ way (which would be boring), Chuck spends SECONDS trying to scramble like some untrained person would do while Shogun just holds him down with jiujitsu/wrestling 101 and pounds the **** out of him.

i think it just wasn't a good matchup. i wanted silva to either win super hard, or lose because lately he's been acting like a wierdo clown. lol

but leites...come on...stop falling on your back,

it was ok. ice man just needs to retire, before he gets hurt, and silva's fight almost put me to sleep. But did any one catch silva's kick that resembled a behind one leg soccer kick which he landed in the forth round....it was freaking nuts.

He wants Silva to go to the ground with him.

Damien Maia does it all the time.

i know that's what he wanted but silva isn't going to risk a belt to go down on the ground with someone with equal or better ground game. leites kept trying that cuz he excels at that whereas silva is a jack of all trades.

like i said though i either wanted silva to lose horribly or win spectacularly
