Lets understand one thing
you take a fighter with a fighters mentality
an absolutely KO power unequaled in MMA
Freakish Takedown defense
and an Iron Jaw
with a resume comparable to anyones'
and then say offhandedly that Silva or Shogun would destroy Chuck
what crack are you smoking.
I'm not saying that Silva or Shogun would not beat Chuck, but to not say Chuck has a legitimate shot at winning or being the best at 205 in the world is nonsense.
He Ko'd argueably the most well rounded fighter (Babalu), though not the best agreed, but made it look very easy.
History shows that Chuck "can" gas, and has taken knees in a clinch, which certainly in Silva's or Shogun's repartoire, is a convincing arguement in Pride's favour
While I still have not "seen" Chucks "gasing" issue convincingly corrected
The issue of being clinched has been resolved. That being if Randy couldn't do it in 2 or 3
don't think the Pride guys will.
That being said, the visciousness and complete striking of the Pride guys, doesn't "scare" me in placing my money on a guy
who
can't be taken down
take lots of shots
and ends fights with litterally 1 punch.
He keeps on "droppn" everyone put in front of him
We will get an answer within 1 year for sure.
Chuck will meet Wandy
and you might even see a Babalu/Shogun rematch also
