Icon13 Silva-Liddell -- Pride rules vs UFC rules

Thats great that the two are fighting and all, but I'd much rather see it under Pride rules and in the ring.

Neither guy really use elbows so that wouldn't be missed much.

UFC style really limits Silva with all the kneeing and downed opponent rules. I wanna see some soccer kicks and Coleman vs Igor type knees.

UFC style benefits Chuck in that if the fight hits the ground, he can just use the cage to get back up.


Hopefully it won't matter too much, I imagine they'll both want it standing anyhow.

true, but like you said man, neither is looking for a ground fight.

like someone said about the hansen kawajiri fight: "by the time this fight happens my goosebumps will have goosebumps."

war silva vs liddell!!

this could be the biggest mma event ever...?

has there ever been a fight so anticipated?

has there ever been a fight that EVERYONE...i mean EVERYONE believed it will NEVER EVER happen...and here we are...

the anticipation of not knowing if they'll ever fight is over...now the true anticipation of the greatest mma fight is real and it's gonna be talked about so much, chuck may overlook babalu.

Pride rules if silva goes to shoot at him, he can get knees from that position. id like to see pride rules but in a cage. hometown advantage to chuck, but fair to what silva is strong at so its fair. and chuck gets an extra weapon. he'll need everything he can haha

More like Wandy dropes him, proceeds to soccer kick and stomp the crap out of Chuck.

And Chuck wins by Wand disqualification.

IMHO Wandy would beat chuck with PRIDE, UFC or plain no rules.

wait for all the details to come out, who knows there may be clauses that if chuck wins they have to fight in japan in pride. the fight may not even be for the title, who knows. dana said in the post fight press conference the details will come out this week. the one thing he did say though is that silva has a three fight deal... who knows whats gonna happen, or if the fight willl even occur.

They will be shellshocked for a while. For that short period of time we may actually see a bit of sanity in these forums. After that, they will return using every imaginable excuse.
