That doesn;t mean he's not still the 2nd best LHW if that. It does not take anything away from a man who loses to a guy in a bigger weight class. This is the same thing im saying as far as Wand goes. Just because he lost to a HW doesn't mean anything. He's still the best LHW in the world!!!!!!

A lot of people are counting Wand out because he lost to a HW. If fighting a bigger weight class was not a disadvantage then why the hell even have weight classes?
Dana White clearely is trying to protect Chuck. Why the hell would he even entertain a match between Chuck and Shamrock? Thats got to be the biggest miss match I ever heared of. He claims Wand doesn't deserve a title shot but Shamrock does? He was dominated twice, the sec time an early stoppage but it was clear what was going to happen. The man is in his mid 40s for gods sake what the hell is this a Circus? Everybody knows that Tito isn't going to beat Chuck either. He just doesn't have what it takes. But when you talk about a man that was on a winning streak for 4 years, has never ducked anybody, has beaten some of the best fighters in MMA with MMA skills Chuck has never even been exposed too and when he had a little glimse, he was beaten to death in the middle of the ring (Rampage) but he still got his title shot  .
Wand losing was the best thing that could ever happen to Dana White. He obviously is making excuses, instead of saying that he's going to try to put the fight together as soon as possible as long as both fighters are healthy. All he can say is the MW champion of the world doesn't deserve a title shot? WHEN HE HASN'T LOST HIS FUCKING TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  . this just pisses me the fuck off. | Great Post

People go look up some Cro-cop fights and ask yourself would Chuck or even Wandy really have a chance at this guy being that they are natural LHWs vs HWs and if you think moving up in weight solves that problem think again it is very had to put on 20 lbs and fight at that weight, if you dont believe me try it yourself

But it'll be a while before Pride gets an established following the size of UFC's in America. | Well yeah because UFC is based in the U.S.! Which is why once Pride gets established in the U.S., people would much rather see the elite fighters in a ring instead of a cage where it's really all about the fence. Pride has the most dedicated athletes in mma while UFC consist of dozens of spoiled rich boys who took MMA so they can be the baddest in their high schools and get all the ladies, and only because they're the only ones who can afford to pay the ridiculous gym fees! UFC fighters lack heart. UFC fighters are all about trash talking and using the fence. MMA is still a sport, it's not a no-holds-barred ordeal, and UFC rules make it easier for lousy fighters to win if they can perfect hone their "skill" of trapping their opponents against the fence.

Therefore, inputting it into peoples minds that Pride isnt worth watching. We all know it's bullshit, hell I remember Dana saying something about how Sylvia wanted to fight Fedor. You don't think he at minimum looked at some tapes before saying yay/nay to the fight?

Fair enough, maybe I am underestimating the average man......yet there you are discounting Chuck for not being exposed to MMA skills to the level of Silva, you use Rampage as an example, why not use Ortiz? Beat Silva but not Chuck.

you dont ever hear people sayin "Bernard Hopkins lost to Clinton Mitchell therefore he cannot beat Antonio Tarver"
but usin the Jermain Taylor fights would be fair play.

Josh Barnett will take part in the upcoming Pride event in Vegas in October.
This will directly go against Dana's claim that Silva won't be allowed to fight in November.
If you recall, Josh was a compelete mess at the end of owgp.
