I dont think it's gona happen, simply because UFC and Pride wont be able to work anything out, seems like Dana wants the fight to happen in a UFC cage, but i dont think Pride want Wanderlei to go over. I can see this being a dream match and staying that way forever.
^^^ I see why, say if Liddell/Silva were to happen at PRIDE 33 in Febryary then it would obviously be in a PRIDE ring, meaning that Chuck would likely get beaten since he is much less used to fighting in PRIDE than Wandy is. If it were to happen in the Octagon, then Chuck would be more likely to win due to it being more familliar with him.
Why and how did Silva lose to Tito Ortiz in the UFC. I never got to see the fight, and I'm still shocked that Ortiz won. I'd have bet everything that Silva would KO Ortiz.

I knew it was an old fight. I'm just surprised that Ortiz was ever able to beat him. Ortiz is a very good fighter, but Silva just looks like he's on a whole other level. I would have figured he would destroy Tito at any stage of their careers.
...Wandy held the Pride Middleweight belt for over 4 years. I can't say enough about the Axe-Murderer. Wanderlie has been around...bareknuckle Vale Tudo competitions in Brazil in the late 90's. This man has no fear, and yes he has Rampage's number...like Quinton has Chuck's. Wanderlie by far is one of the best fighters in MMA history. WOW....A grudge match between Wanderlie & Chuck would be Epic. Both coming off Title losses..Oh man..if they fight it would rake in some dough, and both fighers would have everything to prove.
