Lyoto vs. Sokky seems like something out of Street Fighter II.
Then again, so does Chuck vs. Wandy.

Any of them know how to throw hadoken, I wonder?

I don't see Chuck beating Silva in this one. Chuck's fighting style may be to counterstrike but he has proved that when he get rocked, he goes down. Chuck as already got the money and fame that comes with the UFC, Silva is trying to make a name for himself in the UFC. I see Silva winning by TKO and Chuck riding off into the sunset. I made a fight card and a little breakdown of the fights on my site ufcbios.com if anyone is interested in checking out some pics and stuff. I am new to this board but it seems to be packed with good stuff. Nice to see so many people supporting mma! I train in BJJ and I'm excited to have so many more people to roll with now thanks to UFC's popularity.

I knew I wasn't the only one who thought this!

I want the winner of this to fight the Winner of Chuck/Wand for a title shot and the loser to fight Shogun.

Do what you will with Forrest/Jardine/Rashad(although I would like to see forrest take on Rampage)

Chuck has lost his last two fights he should be no where near a title shot, should being the operative word.

I'd love to see Forrest get a title shot tho.

Okay, when I say the winner of the Chuck/Wand fight, I really mean Wand.
Too many contenders at LHW..........

I think thats a really god thing it makes it more exciting, Chuck tooling evryone was getting dull.

I agree with you that Wandy should win. However it has been the year of the upset

This Liddell vs. Silva fight would have been a hell of a lot better when they were both more relevant, like 2005. They dropped the ball with that one. As far as one of these guys getting a title shot, I think a win here and one more victory could put them in line. I see that mmaweekly has these guys rated pretty high though, the winner might get a shot. We all know that the UFC likes to whore the big name fighters out on the PPV sometimes, even when they come off a couple big losses.

I'm not being confrontational, but I don't agree with you. I agree with your pick not your reason for it. I think GSP's takedown defense is too strong for Hughes and he obviously has the advantage in the stand-up. Hughes has been improving his standup but he should be using those improvements to compliment his takedowns. If Matt would use striking to cover his takedowns I think he'd have a better chance, but last time they met he tried to trade blows with GSP and I think that's a big mistake. Since I've seen no sign that he plans to change that gameplan, I'm still going with GSP.

Jungle Power vs. Karate Kid Hairstyle Power

I think if Machida wins he should get a title shot, but not necessarily Soko (just because lyoto has been taking so many fights in the UFC I think he's earned it).

My reasoning for picking GSP is that he always has a game plan designed for who he is fighting. I did say that but you seemed to have missed it. As for his last fight with Hughes, Hughes didn't want to stand and trade, he wanted to do what he always does, throw a combination right and left hook and then shoot for the take-down. That's how he got caught by GSP. GDP predicted he would be doing that and he caught Hughes with the kick. His gameplan for Koscheck was brilliant! Who would have thought to take the wrestler down - to take that chance. That's what GSP did, he put Koscheck in a position he was not used to or confortable with - on his back. This is the area that GSP has so improved his game...strategic preparation for the fighter he is facing.

I really can't wait to see this card. Looking forward to the Ladell, Wandy fight. I'm worried Wandy won't be as good due to the drug testing in UFC. Also looking forward to the GSP v Hughes fight! Too bad it's not Serra. I just want to see that fight.
