Sobral In Prime Position To Upset Liddel
 
I think that Sobral has as good of a chance to upset Liddel this Saturday. Sobral has been kind of overlooked witht the premature announcement of a Liddel VS Silva match. When they should of called sobral to stare Liddel down at UFC 61 the UFC decided to assume that Liddel would easily beat Sobral and brough Silva for a stare down instead. I think this just added fuel to the fire of disrespect Sobral has been dished out by Liddel and the UFC. Or maybe Chuck will prove us wrong and knock this guy out quickly.

This almost sounds like the first match with Arlovski and Sylvia....everyone was saying same as the first match...Chuck is going to get a quick knockout....I cant wait till Saturday this match will be amazing with Bablu winning the belt.

He can't take Chuck down, He can't stand with Chuck. How the hell can he win?

I think babalu has the skills to defeat chuck and he really is in prime position to make the upset

As for taking him down I think babalu can and will at some point. Chuck has good sprawl but it's not like it's impossible to get him to the ground

as for the arlovski and sylvia comment..I totally agree with you..everyone put out sylvia and said arlovski would get the quick knockout...sylvia got the win

now with that said, I think babalu has a great chance with this fight..do i think he will win, no...I predict a war that ends in the third round with a chuck KO....but it will be a great fight in my opinion

ok even if chuck got takin down by sobral.. which wont happen..chuck has the amazing abilitly to just get back up...i dont theink the knock out will come as quickly like in there first fight but i expect it by the 2nd...
