Did you see the size difference Yahya and Kid?? And Rani is a freakin Bantamweight. Not to mention Rani has ZERO wrestling skills, and ZERO striking skills. But still he managed to get in some decent shots on Kid in the striking department which was shocking to me. Yahya is the perfect matchup for Kid and even though he won by KO, I wasnt impressed. If he came to the WEC and faught Faber like that, he would get beaten up.

I think Shoguns loss seems to have affected your head.....I don't remember you being incredibly stupid in regards to MMA before. Faber is a wrestler. Kid is a better wrestler. You think Faber is gonna beat up Kid and you think Chuck Lidell has better striking than Lyoto Machida..........what the hell?

Did you watch any of the fights this past weekend?? Im pretty sure Machida beat Sokky with his GRAPPLING not striking. He is a good striker but I dont think he would be able to deal with Chuck when he is on.

What makes you believe Kid is the better wrestler?? Cuz he made the Japanese Olympic team?? I dont know how many times Ive said this but American wrestling is way more competitive than it is in Japan.

You're digging a hole djun. No way is Chuck a better striker than Machida.

Jdun, I'd assume you no longer think Paulo Filho has any shot at Anderson Silva, right?

TheNegation

What does Lyoto beating Sokky with grappling have to do with either Chuck or Machidas striking ability?

Yes, I do believe Kid is a better wrestler than Faber, and yes, partly because Kid made the japanese Olympic team.
I also believe Kid is plain and simple a better MMA fighter than Faber.

Seriously...you are basing your argument about Faber beating Yamamoto on Kid KTFOing someone, because the guy managed to land a few shots. Did Kid ever look in the least bit of trouble in that fight? No he did not, which is more than we can say for Faber in his last match.

Also, on Yahya beaing a Bantamweight, you do realise how small Kid is don't ya?

You just made my point for me. Kid is TINY!! Faber is too strong and his cardio would eventually win him the fight. BTW Faber finished Curran in the 2nd round. When did Kid finish him? Oh ya I forgot. He didnt.

Look at the list of guys Chuck has either outstruck or knocked out.
Mezger
Silva- alll time great
Overeem-world class striker
Ortiz
Couture
Babablu
Randleman
Horn

Machida
Penn
Bonnar
Hogar
Franklin

Yea Id say Machida has a much better resume pfff

Who would argue who has the better resume, liddell or machida? It's obviously Liddell, but that isn't what we were discussing. It was the more skilled striker which is Machida.

jdun11

Yes, he would maul Silva. Im sure of it.

Filho would maul Silva? But in his last fast he was getting beat badly until he pulled off the armbar. How is this different then what Kid did?
