He got caught with a great punch against Rampage, and he obviously thought he could just walk through Jardine. The Chuck that fought Keith barely resembled the guy that dismantled Couture, Babalu, Horn, Randleman, Ortiz, Metzger, Monson, Overeem etc. He was loading up with the right and looked very amateurish. Both Jardine and Quinton did somethign very smart. They moved forward but waited for Chuck to throw first and it was obvious to me this was uncomfortable for Liddel. If he gets his shit together I think he can beat Silva. Wanderlei isn't an overly technical striker. He depends on his ability to over whelm his opponents and will come straight at Chuck. I've always felt that Liddel did best when his opponent came at him and allowed him to counter. Either way it will be an intriguing matchup to see who still has it and who needs to hang em up.
Good posting,CC. I don't think Lidell was exposed either,his resume is one of the best I've ever seen. I just think he has fallen in love with his power and looked way too 1 dimensionalv Jardine. He also looked a bt pody,more so than usual,possibly because of a lack of training?

I think Chuck is favourite v Wandy,he has straighter punches and is a great counter puncher. You're right,Wandy overwhelms his foes,and has wild,wide punches but there are so many coming,from so many angles,it makes it hard to defend against. They both possess dynamite.

And I agree with that Hatton fight. I don't think it's going to be entertaining either but the whole 24/7 hype around the fgith suckers me in! Good posting though.

I agree they aren't the same fighters they were,but it's still an exciting fight with alot to gain and lose for both. Wanderlei was also KTFO by a HW and KTFO by Hendo when he was ill,I'm hoping they were important factors and Wandy has not lost the ability to take a punch,because man,has this guy been in some wars. HIs vale tudo fights alone are career shortening!
