no way dude, he's been pretty fair to the pride guys i think. he gave eddie sanchez to cro cop, gonz was legit comp, but he should have beat kongo. he gave herring to nogueira, a dude he beat twice already. he gave obrien to herring, a dude herring should have beat. shogun got forrest and no one except Dork and randy couture saw forrest winning that. i think the pride guys have been treated pretty fairly. i'd like to see some pride fights on unleashed or during the hype shows, but other than that, they've been treated fairly.

As much as I can't wait 2 see this fight 2nite, in a way it sucks cuz i wanted Chuck & Wandy 2 win a couple more fights in the UFC & then meet, but o' well.

I really don't wanna c Chuck or Wandy lose 3 in a row but it's gotta happen.

Yeah, I gotta say I completely agree. Kongo was a perfect match for Cro Cop. Shogun should have "walked through" Forrest. Jackson & Cro Cop come in with easy wins (no offense to Eastman). Jackson is granted a title shot in his 2nd fight. Cro Cop would have gotten it on his 3rd. Nogueira is getting it in his 2nd fight.

Dana has been more than fair to the PRIDE guys.

Truly, the only (unless I am forgetting someone) guy from PRIDE who came in with a tough fight with Ryo Chonan. Most people had Karo winning that.

Wandy will be the 2nd guy now... and he wanted this fight.

yeah. chonan and i think sokoudjou as well has a tough first opponent, but i wouldn't even call him an underdog.

I can agree with you on that. He was good to Rampage also. He got to avenge the Eastman fight then got a title shot. I just don't think he cares too much for Silva and Shogun because of the contract thing over and over again. Only time will tell on that. I don't think Forrest was a safe matchup at all for Shogun.

I don't want to go so far as to say he'll drop like CroCop did, but I don't see Wandy becoming a champion or even in the title picture a year or two from now.

I dont know why but i have the same feeling.

I think wand is barely 31 if I'm not mistaken

yup, about a year older then Brandon Vera, who according to everyone else is an up and comer. Wandy has still got lots of fights in him, but I don't know about owning the UFC light-heavyweight division (not with the type of talent it has in it) after his fight with Liddell everything will be alot clearer to me.


Wandy by tko

[sodium_nitrate]

this fight's going to end with some controversy. guaranteed. there's no way we're only getting treated to one matchup between these two. here's how it's going down:
it's going to look like a lopsided fight for one of the guys, i'm not going to say which one (you pick), and the other fighter is going to get one nice shot in that opens up a cut. meanwhile the fight makes it to the end of the round, the doctor checks the cut, and then calls the fight. then there'll be a whole bunch of drama in the middle of the ring, security comes in, then we'll never know who the better fighter is, because of a lame cut.























































or chucks going to knock silva tfo.

I believe that in this fight chuck is back to his usual self. I think chuck needs this fight(a fight that's do or die) Everybody has fallen off the "liddell" bandwagon but not I. he is a far superior wrestler than wand and wand may end up taking a beating. I think the only way he can beat chuck is in the clinch....but then again chuck is resoursefull. chuck by KO.
