unfair to babalu?

I know everyone wants to and ahs always wanted to see silva vs chuck. i mean, silva vs chuck is probably #1 on half of mma fans dream fights, but this fight can only happen if chuck beats babalu.

with this said, will anybody be rooting for babalu? even myself, a big babalu fan, doesnt want babalu to win this ifght with chuck. i dont like chuck much, but i have to see this fight with wandy.

is babalu gonna be hated if he beats chuck? also, he \is not stupid and now KNOWS nobody willb e rooting for him, can this affect his fight?

if babalu wins, will he get a fight with wandy? that will take some of the stress off of him because it will mean people ownt mind seeing him win because babalu vs wandy would also be sick.


thoughts?

I say let the best man win, if Babalu can play spoiler great for him. Babalu deserves his title shot and it's ridiculous how he's being overlooked. It's like Chuck already has beaten him, this can only tick him off and make him work harder.

i am still rooting for babalu in august, but i practically had an orgams last night when they announced chuck and wandy.

oh, and babalu's not a whiny little bitch, so don't expect any complaints from him.

Babalu was the underdog and he's still the underdog. This should fuel him even more. This fight is even more meaningful now than ever before. I don't think it matters at all.

Everybody was gonna root for Chuck anyway. Only TUF fans go the live shows.

I think Babalu winning and in turn facing Chuck is a great match the last man to beat Shogun at 205.

The whole things fucked up. They should have the fight regardless of Chuck vs Babalu. It screws over Babalu because like you said everyone will want him to lose. It screws over Wandy because he might not get to fight in the UFC, unless he then fights Sobral in which case he would lose IMO. Thats probably Danas master plan, he knows Chuck can't take Silva so hes hoping for Babalu to defeat Chuck and Fight in his place.

I'm a great deal more worried that Wand will be injured coming into the fight but maybe you just switch him out for Shogun.

I don't like the odds of Wand coming out of possibley 2 fights Vs Cro cop/barnett/Nog in one piece.
