Don't know if this has been posted yet but.....we know the Silva Vs. Liddell is for the belt and Silva will have a total of three fights at least in UFC..
When asked during the post-UFC 61 press conference whether the Liddell-Silva fight will be a title fight, UFC president Dana White reportedly said, "It will be for the title." When asked by another reporter whether Silva is signed for a certain number of fights in the UFC, White reportedly said, "Yeah, three [fights]. We're probably going to have him for three." When asked by another reporter whether there will be more Pride stars fighting on future UFC cards, White reportedly said, "Possibly. Every year, we try to take it to another level
One also has to wonder what exactly is going to happen if Silva manages to beat Liddell for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title. One would certainly think that the UFC would not sign a Silva-Liddell fight without having a contractual guarantee that Liddell gets a rematch if he loses to Silva, but that is pure conjecture and is just one of the many questions that MMA fans are pondering right now.
Yes but what are the Rules going to be????Silva is the master at the Thai Clinch and following up with kicks on the ground....HE wont be the same without them.
Yeah Eminem i was thinking the same thing if it is UFC rules i thing this will be a disadvantage for Silva...I know he has fought in the UFC B4 but he is so used to his fighting style now, where kicks on the ground are allowed i am wondering if this will have any affect on this match.......
I dont see why they wont make it Legal just for this one fight.I mean come on Liddell doesn't even use Elbows or those Soccer kicks or Thai Clinch that much.This is Silva's Game i wish they would allow both rules just this once.
Its simple to know what the rules will be.. it is a UFC fight. Silva signed to fight in the UFC... See where I am going.. the rules will be.. UFC rules.. end debate...
So obviously Silva is aware the rules and is prepared to follow them..
None of these guys want to take the fight to the ground anyways, so stomps and soccer kicks aren't going to matter much. These guys are only going down when one of them gets knocked the **** out. And I really want to see Silva's elbows fly for once.
all of you seem to think wandy is gonna kill chuck...its gonna be a kickboxing match with four ounce gloves..imo chuck is the better kickboxer, thereofore he wins by decision or ko
o yea and by the way if wandy does win...he'll fight tito for the belt and tito will win his belt back, cuz he'll use the cage and just put wandy down against it and win another decision..

lol?? Silva works his Thai Clinch until he brings them to the ground then he throws soccer kicks and knee's in.Thats his fighting style thats how it is he will do that in any fight that is just the Axe Murderer.
As for The Don Pride and UFC made a deal from what i heard it'snot all about Silva and UFC they may have worked somthing out maybe not im not sure but i hope they did.
I know Wand has been in the ufc B4...But 90% of his fight have not been in the UFC and if you watch him fight you does use a lot of kicks when his opponent is on the ground. Most likley this will be a slug fest, but none the less it does take away from Silva's Game.....Just My Opionion

if he stays long term it might just effect his first fight or two unless he makes sure to have a few spars under the UFC rules fighters at the level most of these guys are at should be able to adjust quickly so 3-4 good spars with a good training partner who knows the UFC rules well and he should be more then fine

Maybe people haven't watched Chuck fight lately. But he is the best in the game. Hands down. His hands are too heavy, and takedown defence is too good to be stopped. It'll be a sad day in MMA when Liddell loses.

Your are assuming that it is a simple matter of Silva leaving Pride and joining the UFC. That simply isnt the case.
Pride heavyweight Fujita is also scheduled to feature on the UFC November card, as is Pride's Phil Baroni. Pride are planning on staging their first show in the US around December time, in light of the fact that they have lost their domestic TV contract. This is a threat to the UFC's monopoly on MMA in the American market.
Silva fighting on the UFC card is effectively a pact between the UFC and Pride not to f*uck each other over, by poaching each others top fighters.
However, regardless of what the UFC and Pride decide on the matter, ultimately the relevant State Athletic Commission may not be prepared to sanction the more 'brutal' Pride rules - and so the only rules that can be used may be those of the UFC.
