Liddell confirms fight with Silva later this year

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell today confirmed a report we passed along in the wake of his loss to Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 71 that he will next fight former PRIDE FC middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva later this year, according to the Boston Herald.
Here's a snip from the "Iceman" on the showdown:
"It's going to be a striking battle. Who's going to hit harder and throw more punches. I think from the things I've seen (of him) that's what it will be."
"The Axe Murderer" is coming off of consecutive -- and punishing -- losses to Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and Dan Henderson, respectively.
For Silva, the long awaited match up with Liddell is a bit of a risk -- three straight losses and some might think he is finished in mixed martial arts.
However, before that kind of talk even heats up it's important to remember that Silva moved up a weight class to fight Cro Cop in the 2006 PRIDE FC Heavyweight Grand Prix, and he was hospitalized with a severe illness just days before his loss to Henderson.
Put simply, win or lose the result of this fight will not be career ending ... for both fighters.
No specific date for the Liddell-Silva bout has been announced. Rest assured, if and when the bout agreements are signed we'll pass that news along right away.

Sorry Chuckland buddy but I got to pick “The Ice Murderer”, on this one, Silva the Ice Murderer would be more hungrier than ever since he has 2 loss. I would love to see this fight. Hey this is my 2nd favorite fighter, he is intertaining to watch so is GSP. GO ICE MURDERER! Meow.

this is a great match up for Chuck,wandys style makes him taylor made for Chuck to KO,I predicted Rampage to KO Chuck and I predict Chuck to KO Wanderlei,this fight will not make it to the third round and I will stick by my prediction from now untill it happens.
I read somewhere that this fight is very likely to be in London for UFC75,if this is true it is great for me coz im going to UFC75.

I dont think you can realy say one fighter is gonna win because he has lost more and will be hungrier,what is it you see in Wandys style that makes you so sure he can beat Chuck,you gotta give us more than just “hes hungrier”
The way Wandy fights is he comes at his opponents very agresive and he gets into wild exchanges of punches and takes em down if he gets the chance,
the first wild exchange he gets in with Chuck hes gonna get KOed.

Ouch that hurt my friend. I believe your boy Chuck got knock out quicker and he only got punch once. Embarassing Chuck. Maybe GSP should have walk in the octagon rather than Dan The man Henderson. GSP should have said I am not impress by your performances Chuck. LOL bear belly. Silva is goin to be known as the “Ice Murderer”. Dam i love saying that.

Very exciting news obviously. For the record I don’t think Liddell is a better striker than Silva. It would be absurd to say one is better than the other. Both great but very different types of strikers. The matchup would be marquee and one for the ages thats for sure

I hope Chuck Gutboy trains properly for this fight. I reckon if he comes in in good shape (we know Silva will) it’ll be a great fight. It’s either Chuck by 1-2 punch KO or Axe man in 2nd round with a million knee strikes lol

This is really a great match up nomatter what. It’s a tough fight for both fighters and as their both coming off ko losses it’s not a gimme for either man. While I like both I got to say I’m a bigger fan of Chuck. That being said I won’t bet a dollar till I see him on the scale this time.

We all say this coming didnt we? Now that it’s going to be reality, I dont know what to think. Like Stafo said, its definately a fight for the ages & just as Anomaly pointed out, both will be hungry & looking not to lose. I think we all know this one is NOT going to decesion lol. I just hope we get to see it last more than a few seconds. This one definately too close to call…………I say we all go with our hearts on this one.

I think Chuck would win this one. Stylistically, this is a bad matchup for Wandy. Wandy is not a striker, he’s a clinch-and-knees fighter — he has been vulnerable against strikers he can’t clinch, as was the case against Hendo, Cro Cop, Hunt, Vitor, etc. Chuck is another striker who is one of the best at staying out of the clinch and keeping the fight at striking range. ADVANTAGE: Chuck.
For those who want to use Rampage as an argument for predicting this matchup, keep in mind that styles make fights. Rampage can strike, but he can’t avoid clinch-and-knee attacks — that is why he lost to Wandy twice but beat Chuck twice. But that is in no way a predictor for the outcome of Chuck vs. Wandy (or Shogun, who is also a clinch-and-knees fighter, not a striker).

Honestly, I think this fight could go either way. I think it will come down to who can capitalize when the other guy is stunned. Wandi definitely has the better overall game. If it were Pride and he could stomp, then it would be a lock. In the cage however, I think it is more evenly matched.

No way. Wandi is a striker for sure. Watch his fight against Sakuraba. It was a quick right hook that dropped him cold. Also, he stunned Rampage bad with a punch before he clinched and kneed his face in. Wandi and Shogun are complete fighters.

The thing is Wandi is a crazy brawler. Anybody looks like a good striker when fighting a ground guy like Sakuraba. I think his looping crazy overwhelming punchs, have a very real possibility of playing perfectly into Chuck’s straight punchs. Otherwise, I don’t see a distinct advantage for Wandi besides he always has a Wandi of a chance to catch Chuck, which is also a pretty good chance. Don’t think the clinch will be a problem for Chuck. Think he is pretty good at staying out of that, he is strong, a good wrestler, and for one Wandi would have to get past the danger zone, and even once he has the clinch, Chuck would still try to throw bombs.

both should be really hungry. maybe this will be the war we all wanted chuck and QRJ to have.
chuck loves to counter and will get plenty of opportunities to do so in this one. wandi had a hard time taking hendo down in both fights, and i think it might be more of the same in this one. chuck has done well when fighters charge him throwing blows. very ggod at absorbing the heat and countering. stylistically it just seems that liddell should have the advantage to me…. but for some reason my gut is still sayin wandi.

From the article:
[quote]
However, before that kind of talk even heats up it’s important to remember that Silva moved up a weight class to fight Cro Cop in the 2006 PRIDE FC Heavyweight Grand Prix …
[/quote]
It was the Open-Weight Grand Prix and gaining some additional lbs was Wanderlei’s choice. Other fighters (like Minowa from the middleweight class) fought in the OWGP with their usual weight. And actually Wanderlei was heavier than Cro Cop.

I really hope to see Wandi take this one. I do not want to see him lose again, and I would love to see Chuck lose again. Some say that Chuck is tailor made to beat Wandi, but I think that Wandi has an aggressive style, and that is how Rampage just knocked him out it the first round.

Yeah but CC’s was probably more natural and more healthy. Still a disadvantage for Wandi in my mind. Props to him for mannin’ up.

Silva lost two in a row so what, he have to fight CC a heavy weight which means he has to gain pounds not his weight class. Then he fought Dan The Man Henderson which he was sick and still continued. His going to have Fuel on his fire remember that.

by Stafo on Jun 3, 2007 8:09 PM EDT reply actions
Keep in mind that if there ever exists an MMA-equivalent of a home court advantage, there will be one in Chuck vs. Wandy in the UFC — and Chuck has home court advantage.
- The rules. Knees, kicks, or stomps to the head of a downed opponent are illegal in America (regardless of MMA promotion). That takes away one of Wandy’s favorite weapons, one that was a major contributing factor in many of his (T)KO victories. While this action can be a (T)KO in PRIDE, the same move can be a DQ in the UFC.
- The Octagon. 8-sided fenced ring instead of a boxing-style roped ring. No centering, no tangling in ropes or falling out of the ring, no corning an opponent. Being pressed against the fence is part of the sport; a larger fighting area is part of the sport. This is Chuck’s home away from home.
- The venues and the spectators. Today’s UFC venues and spectators are louder than PRIDE (though not necessarily larger) and certainly much louder than when Wandy last fought in the UFC. Oh, and they will be rooting for Chuck — Wandy has a lot less name recognition in America.

I like wandy and Liddell but im gonna go with liddell on this one. Chuck is gonna have alot to prove to himself and the fans so he is going in to kill in this fight. I wish he would change his trainng a little for the fight with wandy. He always said he doesnt train different for any fights.(if its not broke why fix it) well obviously he lost to Rampage which i dont think any training would have stop that. But i think he will deff fair better if he trains to fight wandy and studies wandy’s fighting style. Silva is gonna be hungry thats for sure but i think chuck is gonna want this win more. But watch it’ll be a first round KO by wandy. either way this fights a winner id like to see them both get past their losses.

It’s going to be tough for Chuck. Ortiz defeated Silva, but Silva beat Rampage twice, the first time 1R TKO and the second 2R KO. If Chuck goes down here, he might be like Tim Sylvia in that his name will just fade away.

If Chuck continues to fight with his hands down, it’s over for him. Many say Wand’s awkward punching style & agressiveness is tailor made for CL’s straight shots but it was that same style of striking that allowed Page to beat him back in Pride. Despite that, I still say this one is too tough to call.

There is nothing lucky about takking someone down, beating their ass and standing up to kick the guys head into the 3rd row!

I dont think chuck is or has ever been terrified of wandy’s abilities. Now to say he’s afraid of getting punished im pretty sure every fighter knows theres a chance of getting f*cked up in the fight and yet chuck has been in the cage/ring with the best of them. And im pretty sure when your the title holder your not gonna go out and push for fights. your gonna let them come to you. Maybe he could have fought him before he was the champ but all in all its not up to chuck who he fights. But i do agree he better be training harder than ever.

Wandi lost a few times while still being the champ. So if every fight was a title defence like in UFC than Silva would have never been the champ that long, while he was the “champ” he racked up losses to Ricardo Arona, Mark Hunt, Cro cop, and finally lost the belt to Henderson.

You can ramble on about your man love for Wandy but it doesnt change the fact that Liddell doesnt choose who he gets to fight. I like wandy too but just cuz you like a fighter doesnt automatically give you insight into chucks head. And all the fighters you mention are pride listed fighters so it makes sense why Liddell hasnt fought alot of the names you list. Im not disagreeing that wandy is a great fighter with an awesome resume but it dont change the fact that they dont pick the fights. And “tito’s the best fighter he has fought and not lost too” mmmmmmmm is the only reason you say this because tito beat Wandy. Theres alot of UFC fighters that Wandy hasnt faced that chuck has. And alot of the fighters that you list as the best have beaten Wandy such as Hunt(who isnt close to the best),Cro-cop has a win,Dan has two wins over wandy, The timing for Liddell Vs Silva was just never right and by the time it was talked about wanderlei lost two in a row taking him out of a UFC title shot. And reguardless of what you say if chuck was afraid of punishment he wouldnt have chosen fighting as his career. Because it doesnt take the best fighter in the world to cave a face in. If you dispute that chuck has fought some of the best fighters. My point remains the same The fighters dont pick and schedule their own fights. Wanderlei vs Chuck is gonna be an awsome fight and i cant wait to see it. Im not gonna cry if Liddell loses cuz i know wandy’s a great fighter but i have a feeling if Wandy loses your gonna be crying yourself to sleep. You think you know things you cant possibly know and what i said makes perfect sense. The Title holders dont pick the fights either.

Honestly, sitting here saying that you are an MMA fan and counting either of these two fighters out shows that you are no MMA fan. Talking the theory of who will beat who isnt ‘he is scared’ ‘he got beat by this guy’ ‘this guy can beat this guy’ Either of these two fighters have what it takes to beat anyone in the world, period. Its all the crap shoot on what comes into the ring or cage on that day.

Because Chuck ran from Pride with his tail between his legs from that beating he took by Page. The truth to that is that Pride didn’t want him back, never gave him a contract.

None stop TUF series? Does anyone think that this is bad for the UFC? If they keep pumping out TUF series, I think it will put too many people in the UFC who do not deserve it or work their way up the ladder. TUF seems to be a reality TV show which pitches a majority of soft fighters against a couple of decent fighters. I think they should only have 1 TUF season per year. Take one year to gather up the best amateurs that mma has to offer and pump that out, I bet the ratings will be huge if it is given to you in small doses once a year. Hell, didn’t I hear that Corey Hill has no fighting experience what so ever? Who recruited these guys if that is the case? And that dude that had to get liquid put into his ass to cut weight, whatsup with that? TUF is getting worse and worse. I also think that this BS about saying that the winner is going to the UFC and only to find out that the winner and looser of the main even get to go is crap. I cannot believe that we still hear the name stefan bonner. They know the stakes and if they get beat then I think they should be men enough to face the concequences which are “NO ENTRY INTO THE UFC.” Just because we hear the personal back ground of the fighters means crap to me. Just because someone has 2 kids and no money and needs to make it doesn’t mean that he should automatically be granted access for loosing in the finals of TUF. Thats life and people have to deal with it. I just hate this kiss ass automatic entry into UFC even when they dont make it to the finals. Let these people work their way up to get in the UFC, and dont keep pushing out these barbies one after another, year after year. Let our stomachs settle before feeding us with fighters that would get destroyed on the scene. There has been many times when I see a TUF fight at the end of the episode where I look at the guys fighting and I say, they wouldn’t even have a chance in the octagon with a real fighter. YOU WANT MORE RATINGS? SPREAD THE TUF SERIES’ APART. One more thing, Matt Serra as a coach will only drive people away. I will not watch his ass, and not because I am a GSP fan, I just find him irritating.

Wanderlei got KO’d, Chuck got KO’d….This fight is so unpredictable…I don’t care who you love or hate, you have to be an idiot to say you “know” whos gonna win for sure. One thing tho, this fight will be a show stealer for sure. At least with this PPV we will get hopefully 2 badass fights, if you add this one and the main event. I’m gonna have to say this one doesn’t get passed the first round. Who ever loses this is gonna have a REALLY hard time coming back, especially with the sport being as dynamic as it is now days.

right on brother i was way off on that fight haha i can admit it but im not counting Wandy out i think this will be the fight we all last expected but who knows im just pulling for chuck cuz wandy will charge and get countered for the KO just like all the others, either way i just hope it lasts longer no matter the outcome

I dont think you can realy say one fighter is gonna win because he has lost more and will be hungrier,what is it you see in Wandys style that makes you so sure he can beat Chuck,you gotta give us more than just “hes hungrier”
The way Wandy fights is he comes at his opponents very agresive and he gets into wild exchanges of punches and takes em down if he gets the chance,
the first wild exchange he gets in with Chuck hes gonna get KOed.
well looks like i got one for me to buddy Woof!! and have you seen the post GSP is capable of the mentality it takes straight from White’s mouth you so smart White Woof!!!

HEHE atleast Dana is trying to help GSP out he got shocked cause GSP lost, But what about yo boy Chuck did he say something exactly enouf said. Chuck was born to lose that fight. I like Chuck, he is a good MMA fighter and would be in the hall of fame soon, to bad he is getting older. My boy is 26 now and bought a house GSP! MEOW.

White didnt have to call Chuck out he cuz he knows he aint a baby and doesnt need someone to pump him up GSP does and Chuck losing was a huge surprise but GSP losing was and c’mon GSP didnt even defend his title!!! WOOF!!!

chute box vs. wild punching style…chute box wins..PERIOD..
Wandi = Wild punching style.

…..And alot of the fighters that you list as the best have beaten Wandy such as Hunt(who isnt close to the best),Cro-cop has a win,Dan has two wins over wandy,……
1) Hunt is not the best, but close, he is top ten HW in most list’s you will find. (That is that includes non UFC’ers.)
and 2) Dan does not have two wins over Wandi. He has one loss, and one win over a sick recently hospitalized Wandi. Don’t know whree you got that one.
I wanna see Dan go up against the best at MW, he is not gonna be at 100% defending two belts. I think he has potential for the best MW. The top MW’s are spread out more than anybody if you ask me. Those are the fights I wanna see, the top MW.
by The Anomaly on Jun 4, 2007 11:09 PM EDT reply actions
Sorry your right Dan lost that decision to wanderlei like 6 or 7 years ago. I dunno why i put down that he beat him twice. Brainfade i guess thanks for the correction The Anomaly. I think Hunt is a great kickboxer and even though he has beaten Cro cop and wanderlei. I dont think he is advanced to the point of being in the best of the best list. Just my opinion though. Im sure many will argue. Yeah the MW class has some great fight potential.
by Thor1982 on Jun 4, 2007 11:27 PM EDT reply actions
Yeah I think Hunt just needs more tests if you ask me. He is very overlooked in my opinion, but I think he is just not as into it, it is not his life, as it is with most fighters.

Honestly, sitting here saying that you are an MMA fan and counting either of these two fighters out shows that you are no MMA fan. Talking the theory of who will beat who isnt ‘he is scared’ ‘he got beat by this guy’ ‘this guy can beat this guy’ Either of these two fighters have what it takes to beat anyone in the world, period. Its all the crap shoot on what comes into the ring or cage on that day.
Ok, enough sensable talk, go on with the ramblings.
what the hell are you talking about …? who the hell are you ..? mr. honest abe or something …oh anybody has a chance ..? your not a real mma fan …? you sound like martha stewart …why dont you get your ass back in the kitchen where you belong luppers ….!!

These are rambling if I have ever seen them. And no anybody does not have a chance, however Chuck, and Wandi, they are some of the most dominante fighters who have been in LHW, they do have a chance.
You my friend, are the biggest bandwagoner I have ever seen.

Theres nothing wrong with a debate over different opinions. And it is alot more than a crap shoot. Alot more than luck and chance dictates how i fight will play out. so it is deffintily about more than what comes into the ring/cage that day. Im not saying chance doesnt play into what happens at all im just saying you can debate fighting tactics,styles etc because those things have alot to do with why a fight turns out the way it does. and when someone says this fighter is scared of this fighter i think its a bit funny and i’ll voice my opinion on that if i choose to. And saying either of these fighters have what it takes to beat anyone in the world. I know their both great fighters both ex champs but both have losses and that proves that they cant beat anyone in the world. Despite what they have and what it takes. thats why debating it is amusing. But i know what your saying anything can happen and your right. so theres no reason to debate it cuz no one knows whats gonna happen. alas thats all the more reason to debate it. there would be less debating if a clear cut winner of all bouts was known beforehad because there would be nothing to debate.

who are you …?? are you martha stewart part 2…? why you defending your boy luppers … you guys got something going on …? what does this have to do with regular t.v. …? is that your question anomoly ..or whatever ..? what it has to do with regular t.v. is that t.v. is already sissyfied …by all its censorship …so why you gonna sissyfy a site about fightiing ….!! now do you get my point …? and as far as bandwagoning ..??? i put my money where my mouth is …im 2hrs from vegas and every notable mma fight there is i make the drive and put some money on it …i dont bet less than a grand ….so i follow the sport for the money aspect not because i think one fighter is cutier than the other like some of you guys on here ….!! after a while you start liking the guys that keep making you money and are exciting to watch ….but belive me i dont like guys cause everyone else likes them …im the one that knows about a good fighter before most people ….

I thought I would find postings about Liddell v. Sylva. Lots of other topics here.
Indisputable facts:
Gonzaga dominated CC…he didn’t just catch him with a HK.
Hendo is great! at 185. He will have problems at 205.
GP losses, especially OWGP losses, are not title defense losses, just as GP fights, especially OWGP fights are not title fights.
Dana could not have been happier about a Serra win.
Liddell v. Sylva is a great fight, no matter the outcome.

Liddell will not lose threee in a row. I can see him losing to Silva but not a third. The UFC will not allow that, plus Liddell is a beast. He’s got the cash but he loves this game. I can see Liddell in the game for atleast another 3 years before retiring. I will go on record and say i don’t see Liddell pulling a RC after his first announced retirement. Another words the succssful comeback RC has pulled. There is only one RC
