wanderlei will most likely lose in decision or tko if he fights in the ring. in a similar fashion to how crocop lost, wanderlei will not be able to get up from a take down and will suffer punches and elbows on the ground. this is ufc scenario.

however, pride does not allow elbows and the refs give fighters less time on the ground if the top fighter is in the bottom fighter's guard. wanderlei will benefit from this rule and thus will most likely do better in the ring vs. the octagon.

i'm not sure who will win, of course, but wanderlei has to improve on his ground skills to be successful in ufc, where ground and pound is a avery effective strategy. gnp does not work in pride for the most part as the refs will stand up the fighters. and since wanderlei is a harder striker than chuck (when healthy), i would lean toward wanderlei winning by ko or decision.

shogun of course, would beat chuck in either pride or ufc. hendo is a cerebral fighter and would give chuck a good fight.

Wandy in the cage, the ring, the street will TKO chuck.

I still think this fight would be one of the greatest fights of all time

Silva COULD beat Chuck, but honestly in UFC, Chuck just has an advantage. The rules, the fans, the location, the cage: all differant.

Not to say that Silva can't win, but I do think it would be too much for him to overcome.

I also do not expect Pride fighters to OWN the UFC until they get better aquainted with the rules and the enviroment (if ever).

War Chuck!

If Silva fought less aggressively like he did against CC the 1st time and Rampage the second time, that Silva is actually a pretty accurate striker with kicks and punches and would have a better chance of beating Chuck. It could go either way.

Chuck would destroy Wanderlei in a ring, cage, park, backyard, and anywhere else they fought 9/10 times. Chuck is a horrible matchup for wanderlei.

Lost to a MW and a guy that just got RHK by Gonzaga. If Chucks right hand and CC's LHK connected at the same time, the earth would implode.
