Wanderlei Silva gets trashed while training for UFC 99 (Pic)

Nice try

he said ‘funny’ dude

LOL

Check out Mayhem in the background, he’s just devestated…

haha mayhems so shocked, what was happening in this gif?

I think this is when Chuck Liddell lost the decision to Jardine.

Actually I think it was the Liddell KO to Evans? Anyone?

yea 99% sure it was after the Rashad fight because there was talk of a remtach between him and wandy thus wandy’s dissappointment!

so how is he naive? Its alot harder to tell someone that is only 33 to retire.

Who has KO’d Wandi, think about that; Cro Cop, Hendo, Rampage; all 3 known for their KO power. Why didn’t he go down when Chuck hit him in the face 50 times during their match? Chuck never landed some pretty damn good shots; but nothing flush on the jaw or the temple. Wandi took a crap load of punishment in that fight and held up just fine. Then in the next match KO’s Jardine.

Your logic doesn’t hold up; it’s not his chin thats the problem, its his style. Please name a fighter that wouldn’t have been KO’d by those shots, Rampages left, Dans right, Cro Cops left kick; who wouldn’t have gone down catching one of those flush? No one. And how many surgeries has Wanderlei gone through? I think maybe one elbow surgery? Maybe a knee surgery? How many fights does he pull out of due to injury?

Chuck never had good head movement; he always moves straight back, find a fight where Chuck is bobbing and weaving, and link it to me please; and that left that Shogun caught him with, imo didn’t look all that devestating.

“Chuck never landed some pretty damn good shots”

oops, I mean Chuck landed some pretty damn good shots

33 is definitely not too old, but Wandy does have a lot of hard miles on him. Ultimately however, it’s up to the fighter to decide how long they wish to fight. Wandy vs Franklin will likely tell a lot. It is for sure a fight he cannot afford to look badly in.

I dont think the Franklin fight will tell us much of anything. A loss for either guy can be attributed to the irregular weight class. And because of the irregular weight class it doesnt really effect their future standings in the MW and LHW divisions. Not to mention both are elite fighters, and a loss to either guy is nothing detrimental to a career.

“that left that Shogun caught him with, imo didn’t look all that devestating.”

Dude really??? Come on now… watch it again:

Looks pretty “Devastating” to me

I know, Ballam… Shogun winds up and steps forward with a huge left that catches Chuch right on the jawline. Looks like a punch that would KO pretty much any LHW to me.

Looks like it caught him on his cheek right below the eye, and looked like Chuck also started moving backwards at the time, so momentum should have been moving with the punch. Imo, thats not a devestating KO shot; just an indication of Chuck’s chin. I don’t think that shot would’ve KO’d anyone it hit. You can’t compare that to Wandy’s KO’s those were without question much more powerful.

Should watch it again JJ, that punch does not land on his jaw line.

And look at the punch again and watch where he throws it from, he doesn’t barely wind up at all. It wasn’t telegraphed 1 bit.

Maybe not the jawline, but still the jaw, not the cheek. And once again, that is a full-power bomb thrown from the body. His hands aren’t in front of his face when he throws it. He plants his feet wide and leans into it. If Chuck was eating Wanderlei’s shots a year ago and not buckling, I’d say he got hit with something pretty serious there.

I guess I just don’t see it, when I look at that impact its above Chucks jaw on his cheek closer to his eye, Shoguns right leg is also moving forward at the time of impact off the left hook, it looked like a good solid shot but not the one I’d expect to put Chuck away like that.

I still don’t think that would have shut Chuck down 3-4 years ago, the other post is in moderation so I won’t repeat what I said there; should be up in a few though.

I think Chuck’s reflexes have cost him his fights lately, not his jaw. The Rashad punch would have dropped anybody. The old Chuck might have weaved enough to make these punches glancing blows, instead of full-impact bombs.

Then again, maybe the old Chuck wasn’t fighting guys with good enough stand-up to hit him squarely. It’s hard to know for sure.

if you watch the punch from a side angle – it shows that it was not as powerful as it looked and not even that fast – it is as odamn said an indication of chucks chin!
