Yea I remember that haha. I think you're right but I can't find the damn fight anywhere to watch it! You're probably right I don't think Chuck was tooling him but I definately don't see how Overeem was tooling him. Fuckitanyway.

Overeem starts with a knee, Chuck counters with a right. Right hook from Alistair followed by a big left that actually drops Chuck to one knee, forcing him to shoot. Overeem defends it, they get back up both in a body lock. When they seperate, Liddell is cut.

Some wild punches miss and Chuck takes Overeem down. Thats when Liddell took over, throwing knees from the North/South position. When they get back up, Overeem throws wildly while Chuck picks him apart. Overeem does connect with a really good knee to the body, followed by a right hook, left hook combo that puts Chuck in the corner.

Nothing significant lands for the next 15-20 seconds, till Overeem lands a good left, right combo. Overeem whifs on a high kick and instantly gasses, inexplicably. Chuck rocks him with a few punches then lands a big looping overhand right. The end combo follows.


Overeem was winning the first, eh, 55 seconds. Then he got taken down and kneed in the head. I think its hard to say either fighter dominated that fight, or was clearly winning the round, cause both were landing pretty good stuff in spurts.

I dont know i think Kid did alright. I mean Yahya doesnt just give fights away, he fights to the bitter end whether he wins or loses. Its hard to fight someone who just flails out those girl punches like Yahya did too. But i agree that Kid would be in trouble with Faber, cause faber would push the pace alot more.

And I also assume that you now think that Nate Marquardt has a good shot at beaten Paulo Filho.

I hate to bring this topic back from the dead, as if it were a zombie in a Fulci film, but man, I finally got around to watching Kid's fight with Yahya after putting it off, and Kid looked pretty freakin' bad. He was slow, sluggish, and he was getting outstruck by Rani freakin' Yahya, which is hilarious given how terrible Rani is standing up. He beat him, sure, but I wasn't impressed. Kid needs to get serious, because ever since killing Miyata with that knee, he has looked totally unimpressive.

I'm afraid I don't understand your point here, I never said Nate marquardt didn't have a shot.

Asian Sensation

what fight were you watching? i can argee with the fact that kid didnt look as good as he usually does this fight but by no means was he being outstuck by yahya kid rocked him like 3-4 times before finishing him whle yahya got a few decent shots in they were all wild throws and none did serious damage

I agree with this. I didn't think Kid looked as great as usual out there and I remember Yahya throwing some crazy wild shit I think he was just catching Kid off guard and surprising him. If you look at how Kid stands the whole fight its different than he normally stands, he looked like he was anticipating the TD the whole time, not expecting Yahya to trade with him like he did.

Yeah, all I saw was a few wild shots from Yahya land, but Kid followed all of them up right away. He had Rani rocked throughout the fight before finishing him off. It wasn't Yamamoto's most impressive performance, but he dominated the majority of that fight.

Actually, I was referring to Jdun, but quoted your post towards him about his "Paulo Filho will beat whoever" ramblings.

I was watching the fight that had an overrated (currently) 145'er (& 155'er) have trouble with a guy who previously fought at 135 standing. What fight were you watching?

That performance was awful, and people who suck Kid off as being the guy he once was are either delusional or insane, or even both.

Definitely, and I'm actually baffled at the people who bashed you for saying that. Completely baffled.
