UFC 62 CHUCK LIDDELL VS RENATO SOBRAL

UFC 62 Discussion of the Chuck Liddell vs Renato Sobral bout.

Because of the high-level of attention this one-fight will be receiving, I decided we could have a separate sticky "OFFICIAL" thread for this one fight.

Bet on this fight:
Liddell vs Sobral Betting

Discuss away!

FEDOR WOULD BEAT TYSON IN HIS PRIME IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES...NO DOUBT!!!!

I don't care about the chuck vs. babula thing but noboby stood against tyson in his prime and lasted. Granted, if a 6'7 guy could duck under Mike's punches, and take a single leg. I'd give odds. But don't for a second think that Iron Mike couldn't break the jaw of Fedor just like he did Andrew Golota.

I hate Chuck and I hate the poor organizing of UFC and the announcement of Chuck's matches. They have to piss off Renato Sobral by saying "If, Chuck beats Sobral he gets to fight Silva". This will probably make Chuck come out with a lot of intensity. I hate Chuck and tired of seeing him and Hughes being poster boy champions and dominating. I wish Renato could beat Chuck but he just won't. Renato is one of my favourite light heavyweights but it just won't happen. Chuck has great takedown defense and has also never submitted. All of Renato's UFC victories are submissions on the ground. Against guys who strike like Chuck, Renato is fried meat. I'm pissed too.
Do not count Sobral out. There is pressure on Chuck to come out of this fight injury free with the title around his waist. Chuck needs everything to go right in this match for that to happen and the pressure could get to him. Then if Sobral capitilizes when Liddell makes a mistake, he could win this thing.

Heres a thought. What if babalu gets hurt in training? do you think Tito would take the fight? He sure has talked a lot of smack. I think Chuck will do what he did at ufc 40 and nail babalu again. I'm not saying we won't all say it was a lucky hit or whatever but Chuck is on a roll and at the top of his game. He will roll past babalu and on to silva for the true test. Win or lose he gets to kick tito's ass to kick off the new year.
I see Chuck in the first round. It will be a better fight than the tito fight but the Silva fight could be the fight of the year
thats my two cents

you have to take into consideration that in order for the fight to go to the ground, babalu has to take chuck down, and im not sure how good babalu's takedowns are, but i know for sure that chuck liddels take down defense is unbelievable, its VERY hard to take liddell to the ground. so in that case im giving the fight to liddell by knockout because standing up, liddell is untouchable

Babalu has a stand up game without a doubt. Obviously Chucks is better. The only way Babalu can beat Chuck is by getting Chuck to the ground and (keyword here) KEEPING him on the ground, which is not an easy task to accomplish. I'm for Babalu, although if Babalu did win, I'd still want to see the Liddel vs Silva fight anyhow.

i can honestly say id be happy either way, i like both firghters the same, id love to see chuck win by being the agressor and not only defending his title but fighting hard for it, then id love to see him fight wandy with th same intentions.

However i like rento and i love seeing a grappling guy submit a stand up guy

Chuck The Greatest

Chuck will go on defending the title for a few more UFC's yet. I think he has some sort of unhumane power the way he can floor oponents with what looks like the least amount of effort. Even if this fight with babalu goes to the ground I think it will be hard for Sobral to keep Chuck down there and even if he does Chuck has a great ground game himself. Bring on Silva!!

Yes...Chuck does have the ability of "Flooring his opponents with the least amount of effort"

But it's NOT his "Unhuman Power" that comes through for him.
It's his thumb that tends to miraculously find peoples eyeballs in 95% of his fights!!!
that may be one of the dumbest posts I have ever read. Give the guy an ounce of credit. He may not be the most interesting fighter I have ever seen but he can throw a punch. and take one as well.

You all must be drunk.. UFC Talks about Babalu like he's undefeated since his fight with Chuck, when he's NOT. He's lost several times is several differant fighting orgainizations. You all HOPE that Babalu wins, but you all KNOW that Chuck is going to put him down.

What organizations? And if they werent MMA then it doesnt count towards what the UFC says about his career as they're only talking about MMA bouts.

any news on where to see smaller events

im looking for a site where I can find local fights, or smaller shows in socal, vegas. I am interested in MMA of course, but also kickboxing, middle to top tier boxing. If anyone has any news on events in the inland, la, san diego those would be the best for me.

UFC 63, GSP is out, PENN is in

Its official BJ penn is replacing GSP because of a groin pull. I don't know what to think about this. Im actually going to the fight, and I was pysched. I think GSP was the top dog in the world. I also think BJ penn did way more damage to GSP in their last fight and if it had gone five like it should have, that BJ probably would have pulled it out. What's everyones thoughts on the lineup. I have read that Mike Swick is going to fight David Louiseau. I think swick is one of the top fighters regardless of the show. I called the Diego Sanchez victory, and Im happy he finally swung on someone, but I think Karo was ovarrated, but still a good fighter. I would like to see Diego beat GSP or Penn before he gets a shot at Hughes. I think the logical order would be for the winner of the Hughes vs Penn brawl to automatically take on GSP. If Hughes loses then GSP is going to get an automatic title shot. I think Diego should have to fight GSP or the loser of the title fight before even being considered for a shot.
